After immigrating to the United States from her native Scotland just four years ago, Windermere Prep senior Aimee Teale has closed her high school lacrosse career as the most prolific attacking player in program history, stamping her name all over the program’s record book.
The Lakers' star player will graduate as the program’s all-time leader in career points (243) and goals (219), the record-holder for most points (105) and goals (90) in a single season and most points (16) and goals (15) in a single game.
Beyond her ability to find the back of the net, the nationally ranked LAX player also gets it done in the classroom as an honor roll student.
Age: 18
Sport: Lacrosse
Grade: Senior
School: Windermere Prep
How does it feel to be named Athlete of the Week?
It feels great. It’s always nice to be recognized and supported by my coach and teammates.
What do you enjoy the most about lacrosse?
I enjoy the feeling of game day. When we have a game that night, I’m looking forward to it all day. It just puts me in a good and excited mood. I also love how the whole team is in high spirits and hype.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned from lacrosse?
To keep my head up and keep going. I tend to be quite hard on myself and get very down if I play a bad game, but I’ve learned that we all have off days, and I just need to keep my head up, keep going and make the next day better.
What is your favorite lacrosse memory?
When my little sister scored her first varsity goal.
Who is your favorite athlete?
My favorite athlete is my dad; he was a professional soccer player. My dad continues to inspire me every day. He’s extremely hard working and made his way to representing his country and playing in the Premier League all due to hard work, determination and passion for his sport. Now, retired from playing soccer, he loves to support me in lacrosse.
What is your go-to pre-game hype song?
“Headlines” by Drake, but my sister and I have a great time blasting all sorts of hype music on the way to games!
What is your favorite subject in school?
History. I love learning about the past. History has always been my favorite subject because when I was younger, my grandad used to always talk to me about history, and I’d find it so interesting.
What are three things you would take with you to a deserted island?
My phone, some snacks and matches.
If you could have dinner with one person — dead or alive — who would it be?
Queen Elizabeth (because) she seemed like an amazing woman. She achieved so much in her life. She was the longest-reigning British monarch and became the queen at just 25. I bet she would have some amazing stories.
What is your favorite movie?
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” It’s my ultimate comfort movie. It’s one of my all-time favorites, and I never get tired of watching it. It always puts me in a good mood.
If you could go back in time to a specific period in history, when and where would you go?
I’d go back to the 80s. I feel people lived more in the moment then. I also loved the music and movies from then.
Looking back, what piece of advice would you give your younger self?
Everything happens for a reason. We all have our own path. I believe everything we face — good or bad — is either a blessing or a lesson. This is something I implement into my life today. However, I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to do the same.
If you could ask your future self a question, what would it be?
Am I happy with where I am in life? What else would I like to do?
If you could travel to three places in the world, where would you go and why?
Japan, Greece and Singapore. I’ve never been to any of these places, and they all are bucket list vacation spots for me. Especially Japan — the culture seems fascinating.
If you could be an animal for a day, which one would you be and why?
I’d like to be some kind of bird. I think it would be cool to be able to fly and see over everything.
What is your most controversial food take?
Tomatoes suck, but tomato sauce is great.
Does pineapple belong on pizza?
Yes!
