About Me

Midfielder. Scientist. Teammate.

I'm Brayden Pitek — a Biology student at High Point University and a lacrosse player who's spent years in the midfield for Panther Creek High School in Cary, NC. Wearing #5, I played a role that demands both offensive and defensive awareness — and that dual perspective shapes how I approach everything I do.

College is the next chapter: going deep on the life sciences at HPU while continuing to compete, connect, and figure out where biology takes me — whether that's medicine, research, or somewhere I haven't mapped out yet.

Team

The midfield is the engine of the team — running both ends of the field, connecting offense and defense, and reading the game in real time. It's the position that demands the most ground coverage and the most awareness.

What Lacrosse Builds

  • Endurance & Range Midfielders cover more ground than any other position — conditioning is non-negotiable
  • Field IQ Reading the play at both ends requires quick decisions under full-speed pressure
  • Team-First Mentality The midfield connects every part of the game — collaboration isn't optional
  • Adaptability Switching from offense to defense on a dime — same skills I bring to problem-solving
