00:02 - Hi, I'm Maddie Burns, a senior defender

00:12 on the University of Michigan Women's Lacrosse Team.

00:14 I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

00:16 and I wear number 13 on the field.

00:18 I chose Michigan because by coming here,

00:22 I'll be set up for the rest of my life

00:24 with such a huge alumni network,

00:26 and since I'll be stopping my sport after graduation,

00:29 I wanted something that I could use for the rest of my life.

00:32 Michigan vs. Everybody means that

00:36 there's always a target on our back,

00:38 being such an amazing institution,

00:40 and stepping up to the challenge every day.

00:42 With that target on our back, you know,

00:43 you have to play to a certain standard every game,

00:46 so just giving it our all,

00:47 and making sure we always get the win at the end of the day.

00:50 What drives me to be the best I can be

00:54 is definitely my amazing teammates.

00:56 On the lacrosse team, we have 37 girls,

00:59 and truly every day you look around

01:01 and are just motivated by how hard

01:02 your teammates are working,

01:03 and it pushes you to work for them.

01:05 Yeah, NIL has given me the opportunity

01:11 to explore new endeavors that I didn't think

01:14 would be possible with my lacrosse career here.

01:17 I was able to find new interests

01:18 in certain niche industries

01:19 that I wouldn't have had the confidence to explore,

01:21 but having the resources here at Michigan,

01:24 and looking towards the future with those growing,

01:26 any student athlete is gonna be set up

01:28 to find new interests beyond their sport.
