Junior Camden Pearson brings focus and intensity to every lacrosse game as a key part of the team’s defense. Known for his quick reflexes and composed presence in the net, Camden understands the importance of preparation before stepping onto the field. “I prepare by warming up with goalie drills and reaction tests,” he said, emphasizing the discipline behind his performance. His commitment to refining his technique and sharpening his reactions helps him stay ready for high-pressure moments, making him a reliable last line of defense for his teammates.
Playing goalie is about more than just skill it’s about inspiration. His drive to succeed is fueled by a personal connection to the game. “I look up to my cousin to be as good as he was,” Camden shared, reflecting on the influence his cousin had on his development as a player. That motivation pushes him to work harder in practice, stay focused during games, and constantly improve his performance. With that kind of dedication, Camden is not only honoring his cousin’s legacy but also carving out his own path in the sport.
With a strong work ethic, sharp focus, and meaningful motivation, Pearson continues to grow as a standout goalie. His dedication to preparation, inspired by both personal goals and family influence, sets him apart on and off the field. As he builds on his skills and gains more experience, Camden is not only aiming to live up to the example set by his cousin's creating a legacy of his own
