There are many reasons athletes don’t choose top lacrosse programs. Kudos to them for making a difference in their programs, having a great academic, lacrosse and social balance.

So true. That’s what it’s about. I tell my daughter you’re nuts wanting to go to a top 15 team and not play. Go top 25-50, school you love and where you are going to play from year one.
She didn’t listen. But she still enjoys it.

To each her own.

I will choose to give a shout out to all the players who have the courage to challenge themselves, to the players who believe in themselves and their ability. I will shout out to the players who want to compete against the best, to the players that know that the reward comes from the daily effort, grind and process.

I will shout out to all who are willing to lay it all on the line each and every day even if they do not see the field on game day. I give my shout out to all who face adversity and never quit, to the ones who support their teammates and work hard each day in practice to help prepare the team for the game. I will give my shout out to all who play for the women next to them, to the players who believe in being part of something larger than themselves.

I will leave you with the following quote to meditate on:

"I judge you unfortunate because you have never lived through misfortune. You have passed through life without an opponent - no one can know what you are capable of, not even you."

- Seneca

LOL how do you know what you are capable of if sitting on the bench? You know not of misfortune?? Kudo to the big fish in the pond that can elevate that team to compete with the best. To the fish that is laying the foundation to being something bigger than themselves by creating something? There are different ways of slicing it.

I wonder how your daughters teammates feal about your selfish and arrogant attitude? Do they know how you look down upon them? Does your daughter hold her teammates in distain as well? Did you pass your attitude along? How would her teammates feel if they knew how little you thought of them? You know, the girls who sit on the bench and cheer your daughter on. Pathetic
