Oliver Roa
Recruit Profile
What makes me a special player/person is that I am coachable, team player, strong Lax IQ, disciplined on/off the field and am a multi sport athlete.
I played competitive Tennis until I was nine years old. During that time there were not many kids in the area that were at my skill level. My Tennis Coach suggested I try Lacrosse because I had a good hand-eye coordination and footwork from playing Tennis. Since the first Lacrosse practice, I knew Lacrosse would be my sport of choice. At this same time I knew that I enjoyed team sports vs individual sports.
I think it reflects upon my charter that I,and my parents, have made the decision for the past 3 years to play for club teams in the Chicago area, which happens to be three hours from our home in Central Illinois. I could have chosen to stay with the local team but, I knew I wouldn't get the exposure or level of coaching as compared to the local travel team.
Something that I have learned throughout playing lacrosse is that I am very teachable and a lot of practice equals perfection. One of my unique characteristics is perseverance and never giving up. My academic goal for High School is to maintain a 3.3-3.8 GPA. My long-term goal is to play college lacrosse for a school that fits me both academically and athletically.
This year I started 11 of 11 Varsity High School Games as a Freshman. I am currently involved in FCA.
