Your early season injury gave you a lot of time to watch the defense play; did you have any insights that helped your fellow Ds and/or did you learn things that improved your game?Unfortunately I broke my wrist in the last week of basketball, and had to sit out for eight weeks. It helped me a lot to watch because it was easier to understand what the coaches were teaching us. Also, I spent a lot of time working on my foot work, since I could not play, which has helped me to improve my game.

7. What other interests do you have…hobbies, favorite courses, other Landon activities, etc….outside of lacrosse? One of my favorite hobbies to do during the summer is Wakeboarding at Deep Creek Lake.
