Lincoln-Sudbury's Sisk Makes College Soccer Commitment

Forest Sisk had an impressive four-year career playing boys soccer for .

He earned numerous honors, including all-state (2011), Eastern Mass. all-star (2011) and league all-star (2008-2011) accolades. He's also a member of the New England Revolution youth team, playing along side some of the best high school soccer players in the region.

But now, Sisk is preparing to take his skills to the next level as he recently committed to attend and play soccer at Amherst College.

"From the time he arrived as a freshman, he was special," said L-S boys soccer coach Dave Hosford. "We've spent a lot of time off field working together and talking ... it's been a luxury to a have a kid of his quality. It's been fun to have him as a weapon and have a person of his integrity on the team.

Attempts to reach Sisk for comment were unsuccessful.

Sisk is one of 10 Revolution youth players to make college soccer commitments this year.

Sisk arrived at Lincoln-Sudbury as a freshman with tremendous skill. He quickly became a starter and developed the ability to withstand the pressures of being a targeted player.

"He developed the mechanisms to control his focus and not allow external input that might have distracted him," Hosford said.

Hosford also believes Sisk has the ability to provide quality leadership to the Lord Jeffs squad.

"Sometimes it's hard when you're a top player and always looked to as a leader," Hosford said. "But he did a lot of hard work to develop his leadership skills and make sure it wasn't just his play on the field. That could translate him to being a leader somewhere down the road at Amherst."

This is Sisk’s fourth season as a member of the New England Revolution youth development program.
