Ohio Wesleyan University Athletics

My biggest strength as an athlete is my understanding of the game...

Meet the Bishops:  Get to know a little about Jamie Grant of the Ohio Wesleyan field hockey team. 

Name:  Jamie Grant

Class year:  Senior

Major:  Exercise Science

How/Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
I chose Ohio Wesleyan because I knew I wanted to continue to play field hockey at the college level, but I also wanted a smaller school where I could major in Exercise Science.

How/Why did you choose your major?
I chose my major because I have always been interested in working with sports or athletes. Exercise science gives me the opportunity to continue to be involved in sports when I am no longer a collegiate athlete.

What is your favorite memory on an Ohio Wesleyan team?
My favorite memory was winning against Earlham at home last year in sudden death 1v1 shootouts.

What are your strengths as an athlete (as an individual)?
My biggest strength as an athlete is my understanding of the game. Coaching club field hockey has helped my understanding of the game because I have learned from other teams and coaches and used that information to make adjustments to improve my own game.

What athletic or academic achievement/accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my selection to the NFHCA’s Scholar of Distinction list the past 3 years.

What did you do to put yourself in that position to achieve that goal/accomplishment?
Time management has been essential to balancing field hockey and academics.

Where is your favorite place to eat at in Delaware, and what is your go-to dish there?
Pulp, I get a chicken Caesar wrap and a three berry smoothie.

Which three people, living or dead, would you like to share a meal with?
Paige Selenski, Rose Lavelle, Michelle Obama
