I love this statement.... broke the internet


I want my son to play lacrosse be a part of a great community. I want him to learn how to compete, learn how to win, how to lose, how to get better, how the world isnt fair, how to manage his nerves, how to set goals and how to get all the benefits competitive sports bring to a child's development. I want to travel with him and my family to tournaments and spend time with friends. I want him to build his network and have a great HS experience. Its sure beats playing fortnite and the money we spend on piano lessons and tutors. I AM investing in my child's future and it is not so he can get to MLL.

If you dont think a kid that can juggle a 40 hour practice week and the demands of playing a college sport isnt being prepared for life then I think you're really more concerned about your DNA not being able to close the gap on what your son can do.....oh yea and the Lax network for finding a job when coming out of a good school is another great benefit.

Lacrosse and the community are worth the investment, just know why you're doing and who you're doing it with.

Let's not get too out of hand here... these kids are not getting great jobs and into medical school, law school and business school because they played on Team 91 or Outlaws... they are getting into these roles because they grew up in predominantly upper middle class professional households where parents impressed upon their kids the benefits of sports, education, and extracurricular activities (i am sure genes play a role as well).

Look... to play any sport at a high level costs money today. There are very few parks to head down to on LI to just go play football, baseball, soccer or basketball pickup. Everything has a cost today. I 10000% agree with your Fortnite and Piano lessons statement. You can throw Kumon into that bucket as well.

But, to be fair - i do see plenty of former LAX stars working as assistant coaches etc. Some have made big businesses out of it... but those are the exception.

PS... i am one of the suckers that pays big $$ to multiple sports for their travel leagues.



I am curious exactly how much these assistant coaches make per year ? And when they move up and become head coach— how much do they make then? Not sarcastic just curious if it’s enough that they can buy a house and support a family with that ?
