How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester helped shape you as an individual?

It has definitely helped me appreciate the power of hard work and the concept of a team as a family. Yes, my own individual values of self-discipline and integrity have developed over the years, but I have learned that being apart of a team makes you a better individual. Because my team depends on each individual, I have learned a sense of responsibility to improve every day not only for me as a player, but for the team as a whole. I believe that drive to improve is with both athletics and academics.
