Rachel Santini
2016
Field Hockey
Father John Redmond Secondary School
Summary
Rachel Santini is a natural born leader. She is captain of the field hockey, ice hockey, and soccer teams at Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School, and also wears the “C” with the Etobicoke Junior Dolphins of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, an organization she has been with for 12 years. Santini impresses her coaches and inspires her teammates with her work ethic, commitment, and dedication, as well as her positive mindset, humility, and compassion. The well-respected and self-motivated student-athlete balances her busy sports schedule—she also competes in dragon boating and track and field at Redmond, and plays with the Etobicoke Youth Soccer Association and Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club—while organizing school activities on Redmond’s leadership team, tutoring her peers, and holding down a high-90s grade average at the Advanced Placement and gifted levels. This is no small feat considering her course load is heavy on math and science. Next year, Santini plans to study engineering and play varsity hockey at McGill.
