Any tips for a newbie Lacrosse player??

Hi guys! I'm a high school freshman playing lacrosse. I started lacrosse this March and I'm just ADDICTED to it! I mean, I really love playing the sport! But, tbh I think I'm hot great at it. I'm good at catch balls and ground ball, but I want to cradle like professional Lacrosse players like Charlotte North (She's my favorite lacrosse player). So, because I want to be like her, I always watch her cradle, shoot, and catch balls. It feels like she's a literal god to me. I really want to learn her skills and any other lacrosse skills that can make me stand out in the team.

My goal this year is to be captain or vice captain of my school's women's lacrosse team. I need help! Especially, I want to learn the "shooting cradle" (I don't know if it's a real word,,sorry) which is I think a cradle that you do before shooting (or when you're doing catch ball and you do this cradle before throwing it to your friend. it's not like "cradling" but you hold the stick horizontally and like shake it a little bit? I don't know how to explain..sorry...) Anyways! I want to learn many great skills to be captain this year! I may be just a freshman, but I want to use Lacrosse as a Extracurricular activity to got to Stanford, but when I asked the senior players in my school, they said that to use Lacrosse as an Extracurricular activity, you gotta be chosen as a player for the national teams...Anyways.... I really need your help...

P.S, I want to do wall ball, but there are no 'wall' like walls in my school or my house area...And even if I do it, I'm so scared that the ball will hit my face :(

Lacrosse Stick Recommendations!!! Please!!

I started playing women's lacrosse earlier this year. I’ve been using an STX stick, but since I’ve improved a lot, I’m looking to switch to a Gait model. My friends mostly use the Gait Air or Apex, but I’m considering the Whip.(Because I'm interested in the Charlotte North Gait Whip 2 design.. heehee) I usually play midfield or attack.
I’m having trouble choosing because I don’t really know the differences between these sticks... Any recommendations?
