Classics Eagles Senior Spotlight: Hannah Sargent 

Hannah in action! 
Many of us think that the goalkeeper is the smartest player on the field.  Well maybe this interview will reinforce that thinking!  This week we highlight Hannah Sargent, and yes, she is on the path to becoming a rocket scientist!

Classics Eagles : Where did you attend high  school and where are you going to college?
Hannah:  I attended Olentangy Orange High School and I will be attending Western Michigan University.
  


CE: What will you be studying in college? 
Hannah:  I am interested in studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Spanish. 
 
CE: What is a favorite Classics Eagles memory?
Hannah:   I have a lot of great memories from my years playing with Classics Eagles, but I think going to President's Cup Regionals in St. Louis, in the summer of 2015, stands out the most.  Although we didn't compete as well as we would have liked, we had such a good time together as a team, on and off the field.  I will always regard the girls on that team as close friends.

CE : What is one thing that helped you develop as a player so you are now able to continue playing soccer in college?
Hannah: One thing that helped me develop as a player so that I can play in college was making the commitment to do goalkeeper training outside of team training with Michael Flynn, a goalkeeper coach at SuperKick.

CE: What advice do you have for younger players who want to play soccer in college?
Hannah:  I would tell a younger player that in order to play in college, you have to put in the work, especially to be a goalkeeper.  You can have raw ability, but you need to focus on your technique in order to be noticed by college coaches.  I am not a flashy player, but I do a lot of drills to work on my hands and my footwork.  
Shield Yourself From The Sun!

As we approach sunnier weather and you find yourself spending more time outside on the field, it is import to educate parents, coaches and athletes about the importance of sun safety.  
 
Appropriately, May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. These startling facts from the Skin Cancer Foundation will make you think twice before heading outside unprotected:
  • 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
  • In the U.S. over 5.4 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are treated in more than 3.3 million people annually.
  • Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon.
Guarding your skin from excessive exposure to the sun's harmful rays is the first line of defense toward reducing your chances of developing skin cancer. Follow these additional recommendations from the Skin Cancer Foundation to minimize your risk for sun damage:
  • When possible, seek shade, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM.
  • Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant, broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
  • Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.
  • Examine your skin head-to-toe every month and see your physician every year for a professional skin exam.
 
Sometimes even those with the best intentions end up sunburnt.  When this happens, the most important thing to do is treat the burn as effectively as possible. Follow these steps from the Skin Cancer Foundation to minimize the damage:  Five Ways to Treat a Sunburn 

Your skin is your body's largest organ. Don't be a statistic, take the appropriate precautions to enjoy your outdoor soccer season and favorite warm weather activities safely!
