To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept this reference letter for Mia Maechtel, a 2024 member of the Team 51 Elite Training Squad. The purpose of this letter is to outline Mia’s strengths as a 2024 graduate to earn the right to participate in the 2021 UA 150 Female Lacrosse Showcase.

Mia is easy to identify on a field due to her relentless hustle and aggressive style of play. She has experience in both field {Lady Blue Knights} and box lacrosse {Whitby}. As a midfielder, Mia’s undying work ethic creates several caused turnovers and ground ball acquisitions per game. Her determination and feistiness turn 50/50 plays into possessions for her team. Her competitive drive and determination help raise the intensity level on the field. Lastly, Mia’s agility and craftiness with her stick are a direct result of her hybrid training of field and box lacrosse.

Mia Maechtel is exactly the type of midfielder coaches come to see. Her hybrid box and field experience have helped develop her into a very good 2-way midfielder who possesses both offensive and defensive assets. Her feisty style of play causes her opponents to turnover over the ball; she dominates ground balls, and is an excellent transition player.

Thank you,

Carolyn Toll
