“Ever since coming to mayhem, I have learned more than just how to play field hockey.  I have learned how to be a leader, how to be positive, how to be a good teammate and friend,  how to learn from my coaches, and be the best me I can be. I want to learn to be a better leader, be more confident in myself, learn more coaching skills, and help grow the Mayhem Family.”

“To me, Mayhem is a place where I can go to make new friends, have fun, and do something I love. One of the things that make Mayhem so amazing is the coaching staff. In order for players to succeed, we need people who can guide us along the way.”

“To me, Mayhem means many things. After playing for Mayhem since 3rd grade, I have been a part of many different teams and have learned many valuable lessons with each one of them. To start, Mayhem means friendship. I have met some of my best friends here at Mayhem and have grown as a player with many of my teammates. Next, I have learned the importance of hard work and determination. Thanks to the great coaches and role models I have encountered at this club, I know that what you put in is what you will get out of your training. I would be a good Mayhem leader because as a player, I know the struggles and what it takes to succeed and I want to have the chance to pass on the things I have learned to others. From the leadership program, I hope to not only teach what I know, but also learn from the younger players. By this, I mean that by seeing a players highs and lows from a different perspective can not only help myself as a player but it can help me teach the younger players as well. I hope to encourage them to learn the valuable lessons that Mayhem provides just like I did.”

I am so grateful to be surrounded by people who love field hockey as much as I do.

“Mayhem isn’t just a club, it’s a family.  I felt that the first time I stepped foot into the MAC.  They are extremely welcoming and want you to succeed both on and off the field as an athlete and a person.  The coaching staff ensures you are developing and maturing as a player.  These are the types of people everyone should want to surround themselves by, ones who are in your corner and want you to succeed and truly care!”

“To me, Mayhem isn’t just a field hockey club, it’s a family. I might have only joined this past year, but I have made many friends and have been welcomed by everyone I have met. I am so grateful for the opportunity that Mayhem has given me to grow as a teammate, player, and individual.”

“The Mayhem Field Hockey Team represents an opportunity for me to grow as both a teammate and a leader. I value collaboration and problem-solving, and I believe my ability to listen, adapt, and support others makes me a strong candidate for the Mayhem team and the leadership program. I want to help create an environment where everyone feels heard and motivated to contribute their best. Through this leadership program, I hope to develop my skills in communication, decision-making, and teamwork while also learning from others. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on the younger generation and grow into a more confident and effective leader in the process.”

“Mayhem is different than other clubs. It’s not just about the skills you learn or strategies you develop, it’s about having confidence in yourself and your game. It’s hard not to fall in love with field hockey when you play at Mayhem. The environment and opportunities let you grow you play to its fullest potential. I think I would be a good fit because I have learned so much over my years at mayhem and now I think I should pass my passion and knowledge down to the next generation of mayhem athletes. I am a leader on and off the field and I think this is a good opportunity to keep growing through this role.”

“To me, Mayhem is about setting goals and challenging myself to be the best I can be. It is about teamwork and learning how to work together. I am new with this club, and it is so different here than what I am used to. I feel like I am a better teammate and better goalkeeper because of it. I am learning more all the time, especially now that I get to work with a goalie coach too. I would like to help younger players feel the same way, and teach them what I learned, and help them build confidence. Being a goalkeeper is so hard mentally, and being confident in my decisions while playing is a big part of becoming a better GK. I feel like being a Mayhem Leader is about helping build that confidence, which builds better players and stronger teams.”
