Please keep the Men’s and Women’s Binghamton lacrosse players in your prayers. Goalie Robert Martin committed suicide on Friday.

It is very important that we keep the mental health of all of our student athletes as top priority. All of our children are high achievers. The pressures put on them by the school, peers and us can sometimes be overwhelming. When you look at the posts here you all forget that they are human, can make mistakes and should all be valued.

Take this moment as a time to reflect on our children and how we are treating them as a whole human being and not just athletes. Just because your child is in a top 20 program does not necessarily mean they are the best. Stop looking down at programs and embrace the journey your child is on. Celebrate what’s best for them.

Time to reflect…
