This is the type of person who should not be involved in youth lacrosse. Why don't we just try working hard and every plays straight up instead of working every angle and gaming the system. This guy is a disgrace.


Add his boss too, Jamie Munro suggests this, as well. While playing D1 lax could be the be all and end all for some insane people, why anyone would want to pay $50K for a prep school for the honor is beyond my comprehension. For sure he has suggested this to families who can't really afford to do that then spend another 45K/yr at an expensive school when junior gets a 1/4 scholarship. At the end of the day older kids win tourneys, winning tourneys makes for successful clubs.

These guys have a business, it is about the business, consumers need to beware of the hype. If you are looking to a 3D for guidance on how to raise your kid or make rational decisions you are insane. They are hired to make your kid recruitable. That is their goal, not what is best for your kid, that is the decision of the parents. No one is forced, it is just suggested.


So when do performance enhancing drugs enter the picture? Or am I being naïve thinking that isn't an issue in youth lacrosse.
