Prior Lake High School | Lakers | GIRLS

Leah is exactly what a coach looks for in a leader on and off the ice. Leah is an individual that leads by example and vocally. Her sense of humor, enthusiasm, and positive attitude make her a young woman that people look to. Leah is a woman of high integrity so when she makes positive decisions, her peers follow suit. She is the type of young women you want leading your team.

Leah is not just a leader on the ice. She is a strong advocate for girls hockey in our community. She works with youth teams above and beyond what is expected. She mentors a youth team and then works at extra events to get young girls excited about hockey and playing for Prior Lake. She has a strong commitment to the game of hockey and shares that passion with the whole community of Prior Lake.

As an athlete, Leah works hard every day. She never takes a day off. She leads by example and is relentless as a player. She is able to take feedback and uses it to make her a stronger athlete. She is able to handle adversity with a positive attitude and lead herself and her teammates to a brighter outcome.

As a student, Leah is hard-working and highly committed to her education. I believe that her excellent transcript will attest to that fact. In addition, she is quite involved in a number of extracurricular activities. Leah is an active member of Prior Lake’s National Honor Society, LIVE, and Junior Optimists. She displays a great attitude in the classroom. The same work ethic that has made her such a good hockey and soccer player has made her a strong student. Outgoing, and always willing to help someone out, Leah is very popular with her fellow students. She has committed herself to providing service to other and to encouraging others to do the same.

As a teammate, Leah is the first one to cheer her other teammates on. She is dependable, her teammates know they can rely on Leah. She is a loyal, honest, considerate, and supportive individual who has the ability to see and understand things from another person’s perspective. She is a great direct communicator and knows how to raise and discuss adversity that comes about within a team in a non-threatening manner.

Leah is a fine, well-balanced person with an abundance of positive qualities. Leah has excellent capacity for growth and excellent potential for success based on her good character, work habits, leadership, and achievement.
