Personal Statement

My name is Jayden Paladino and I have been passionate about sports as long as I can remember. I started playing football when I was 5 yrs old and have not had a season off (playing year around) since then.  I started playing lacrosse in the 8th grade and fell in love.  I am going into my senior year as a 3 yr Varsity Lacrosse, 3 yr Varsity Wrestler and the starting Quarterback of the Varsity Football team (4 yrs). I have been the leading scorer on my Varsity HS Lacrosse team for the past 2 years with 90 goals/ 31 assists. I have played on the Central Bergen traveling team for the past 2 years with Coach Joe Haemerle from Bergen Catholic High School - where I've been the leading scorer for the past 2 years as well.  I am a true team player - always looking to help support and build my teammates. I play attack & midfield positions and am ambidextrous. I am a Varsity athlete juggling 3 sports a year and feel that this has taught me a lot about the discipline, time management, and sacrifice it takes to make it to the next level.  I am always ready and willing to make those early weekend practices and training sessions - whatever it takes to go the extra mile and be the best athlete I can be. I take pride in my academics as well with a 3.0 GPA. 

I would love to continue my lacrosse career at the collegiate level. Please check out my highlights here: https://youtu.be/0aXqBH4aJk8
