How the Middlesex Magic helped me the most

Playing for the Middlesex Magic not only put me in front of the type of coaches from schools I wanted to play for but it put me in a position to succeed. The reputation of Middlesex Magic creating high value contributors at academic institution is the reason I wanted to put on the jersey. Playing for the Magic was instrumental in my journey.
