#9 Marie McCool
Marie (@mariemccool4) is a midfielder for the WPLL Brave, Team USA, and graduated from UNC in 2018 as "perhaps the most decorated player in UNC women's lacrosse history". "Champions are made when no one is watching, don't always do things just to impress others, if you're going to get better at things, whether it's lacrosse, sports, work, it's about when no one's watching you... what're you doing in that extra time to focus on yourself." Marie is from Moorestown NJ where she attended HS before leaving UNC as a 2x Tewaaraton Award finalist, 3x 1st team All-American, and 2018 midfielder of the year (ILWomen). Marie currently works a full time job at Quest Diagnostics, while studying nutrition, training for lacrosse, and working for the WPLL, where she has been doing virtual clinics and will begin directing their girls academies.
Great conversation with Marie about her ups and downs as an athlete, and what has helped to make her so successful leading up to where she is now, one of the best players in the world.
