I’m Jenna Narleski, a sophomore midfielder on the UNC Field Hockey Team. Between games, practices, and classes, my schedule stays packed and crazy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The grind of being a student-athlete at a top academic and athletic school like UNC is what makes my time here so rewarding and exciting. Little Jenna only dreamed about my life now, which is why I do not take a moment for granted. This holiday season, I’m most excited about spending time with my closest family and friends and experiencing holidays for the first time in North Carolina!
If I only had 60 seconds for an unlimited shopping spree in the Longstreth Retail Store, I’d sprint straight for...
1. A new stick (specifically the gold TK U1+ Extreme Late Bow outdoor stick, it is my favorite stick of all time)
2. New TK Hi-Soft Grip in blue (I never have to worry about my hands slipping with this grip, rain or shine!)
3. Cozy sweatshirts and sweatpants (The zip-ups and sweatshirts are perfect for early morning fall practices. Specifically, the USA Field Hockey ¼ Zip)
Shopping with Longstreth is easy and so much fun to look at the wide range of products I love. The selection covers everything from beginner gear to elite equipment, so anyone and everyone can find what they need. As a college athlete, I need gear I can rely on, and Longstreth makes it simple to find. I’m so grateful to be an ambassador and can’t wait to see what the 2027 season brings!
Happy Holidays!
