Coach Comments:
“There are not too many times in my life that I can be tremendously confident in writing a recommendation letter for an individual. This is the time though when writing a letter for Brianna Valdivieso. Brianna has worked tremendously hard over the past couple of years to make her one of the great 2023 Goalies in the country. Her focus on this game is one of a kind. She constantly works on her craft and she loves this game so much. Her hand drive and step to ball is fast and fluid. Her clearing capability is spectacular and her proactive vision is well beyond her years. At this age she is a menace to all of the midfielders and attackers as she makes her body position in cage perfect so that these shooters become indecisive prior to their shot. I have had the pleasure to watch 3 years of the UA 150 showcase and Brianna, by far, would be considered one of the top Goalies at this event. She is definitely worthy to be a 2023 UA 150 Goalie. If you have any questions pertaining to Brianna please do not hesitate to contact me.” – John McClain, Florida Select Director, Head Coach American Heritage, Coach UA South Highlight Team 2018/2019
“I have had the pleasure of watching Brianna Valdivieso grow into the lacrosse player she is today. Today, she stands tall with great leadership and poise in the cage. When I first met Brianna, I knew she had grit. She had all the qualities that a coach can’t teach. Her ambition and drive to be best version of herself makes her unstoppable physically and mentally. She takes the qualities of being a true student athlete and applies those attributes to her everyday life. I have personally seen Brianna put in hours on hours of all types of training. Brianna’s level of coachability is sponge-like. She absorbs everything. Her support system makes her all the better. She surrounds herself with athletes who have similar goals, which is to play at one of the highest levels. Her family has been her rock trying to provide the most. Brianna is a player you want on your team. She will change the team’s attitude and dynamic with her knowledge of the game. As a goalie, she sees everything and anticipates plays before they even happen. She communicates to her players and echoes calls down the field. Brianna is not your average goalie, she’s an 8th defender. A pure athlete.” – Angie Benson, Virginia Tech, Goalie #77
