Hold backs are everywhere. 10th graders driving cars to high school. 24 year old star players at the college level. In fact...hold backs are usually the stand out players at the HS and college level. What does it mean? Who knows. Who cares. Enjoy your kid's lacrosse journey. Maybe the hold backs also over index in trips to therapy when they are in their 40's because they look back on their childhood and realize their parent's tortured them? LOL.
