You are right about exactly the way club lacrosse works. Kind of sad but they are just college promotion concierge services now. I miss the days when the more important thing was competing to do something distinguished and win, not to get noticed. This is also the reason why prep lacrosse at the local top schools is degrading...the prep coaches are stuck taking a lot of time to unwind the club "individual showcase skill set" that is wired into these kids. Pretty soon it will be why bother to even play in college when you get there? The only greatest thing is this commit status game, and after that the passion for competition goes down. Just doing wall ball and cardio every day does nothing to nurture or develop mental toughness and competitive grit. It is no small wonder so many highly regarded early teens don't develop in high school and then never see the field in college.
