Sports: Field Hockey

Entry semester: Fall 2024 

Florine Tillemans is 16 years old and lives in Breda with her parents, sisters, and two dogs. When Florine was 6 years old, she started playing hockey. Florine’s sisters and friends already played hockey, and Florine wanted to see if it was something for her too.

What makes Florine very special is that she is very independent; Florine likes to make her own choices in life. Furthermore, Florine is also a very caring person. What makes her special as a hockey player is that she is very competitive both in winning possession of the ball and keeping it. Her strengths lie in providing assists but also in scoring tip-ins.

Florine hopes to improve her skills and expand her hockey experiences in America. She also wants to win many matches and, above all, make new friends and enjoy this experience to the fullest.
