The Influence Of Soccer Balls

Over the years I have worked diligently for countless hours to become the best lacrosse player that I can possibly be. In turn this has provided me with the opportunity to be a student of Duke University which is a incredible honor. However, now that I have the opportunity to go to Duke and play the game I love I want to have the opportunity to better myself as a person off the field and put a positive effect on others around me. To have the chance to be able to learn from some of the best if not the best collegiate staff is unimaginable to most. I plan to take full advantage of the knowledge and wisdom that the Duke coaches as well as Professors and even Alumni have to offer. I know that In the end, I will come out with a degree, and

My accomplishment of making the varsity lacrosse team has given me a new understanding of myself. 11.34 My journey began during my freshman year when I was a member of the JV lacrosse team. At the end of the season, the coaching staff called up a select group of individuals from the JV team to play for the varsity team in the playoffs.17.65 Unfortunately, I was not one of the players afforded the opportunity. 11.14When I got home that day, I told myself that I would never let that happen again and that I would do everything in my power to make the varsity team the following year. 13.98 As a result, that summer I worked extremely hard to improve my stick skills with my travel team and went to various tournaments where I competed against kids who were much better than me.15.02 1)However, as the summer ended, it was football season and I had to put my lacrosse training on hold so that I could focus on football. 2)Midway through the football season, I unfortunately suffered my third concussion

A high intensity game that involves physical attributes and cognitive awareness describes the sport lacrosse. People play lacrosse all over the world and the sport continues to grow in size. The sport lacrosse dates all the way back to when Indians would play for land and resources. The word lacrosse translates to “Little Brother of War”. Men and women of all ages and levels play the game lacrosse to this day. At the Eastern Cincinnati Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, the sport lacrosse qualifies as a club rather than a sport. The sport lacrosse should qualify as a sport because it would reduce costs, more players would join, it offers benefits, and people would consider lacrosse as a more serious sport.

I’m a jr lacrosse player and I’m also able to play up as a sr lacrosse player. Since I’m a sr and jr, I was in South Windsor for 8-9 hours playing for only 200 minutes in total. All of the games that my team and I played were only 25-30 minute games but since I was there all day, it felt like I was there for EVER! The fun thing was I got to hang out with my lacrosse team for the whole day and won together and lost together as a team. Not one of us wasn’t able to score at least one goal during the sr games because they were easy to get by but not so easy to stop. The easiest teams that we were easy to beat by 10 points was Ellington. All of the players on every team played dirty, and were TALL! I felt like a little 2 year old playing against them! On one of the teams they had a 9th grader that wasn’t allowed to be on the team and when the coach on my team found out, they had to forfeit the game, so we won

The reason why I started playing lacrosse was because of my sister, Hope and my mom. My sister played and my mom coached her. Hope is now playing for the Trojans at the University of Southern California. I hope that in the future I will end up playing for a D1 school just like my sister. I first started playing lacrosse in second grade. I started with one of my closest friends at the time, doing 5 Star clinics. During that time I made so many memories, like rolling down the big hill before practice and going to the Princeton Fountain after the last practice and swimming in it with my friend. From then, I went on to playing for a rec program in Montgomery. I learned so many skills that help me to this day. Also, some of my closest friends to this day, I had gotten closer with because of lacrosse. Every year we go to the Mens and Womens Final Four lacrosse games. My love of lacrosse has developed into many traditions for my family and me.

While other students were out celebrating the first week of summer, the New Albany Girls Lacrosse team was practicing for one of the biggest moments in their lives. They were preparing to compete in the Division II Lacrosse State Championship Game on June 1st. The team had one week to ensure they knew their plays, calls and were general ready for one of the toughest games of the year. Among this team there were twenty-five girls, and within this group of girls there were only two goalies. These two goalies, Kathleen Schell and Grace Anthony, had to hold the team together. Kathleen was talking to Grace before the end of practice and told her “I am really nervous, because I don’t know who coach is going to throw out there first. Also, what if

A memory that is etched into my brain is when I was asked to come back and be on a national lacrosse team. This summer I went to try out for a national lacrosse team down in Ocean City. The team’s was named, “ Diamond National” and they were a pretty good national team. This is the first time I tried out for a national team and I thought I didn’t do my best at the tryouts. Even though I didn’t do my best I was still asked to come back.

Around March last year, lacrosse season was beginning to come around the corner. Everyone was getting prepared for the season with high expectations of winning another championship. For the returning seniors this was a huge deal for them, along with the rest of the team. Everything was in good shape until events unfolded and my spot on the team was a swinging player.

I believe joining my high school lacrosse team was an influential part of my high school career. Having social anxiety, it was not always easy for me to be around others kids. Joining the team thought me to face my fears and that sometimes it is better to stop thinking and just take that “leap” into whatever you're afraid of. Secondly I learned to push through challenging times even when I wanted to quit. Lacrosse also allowed me to meet people who I would come to look up to, and cause me to want to improve myself for the better.

Having played the sport of Lacrosse for the previous 4 years, now going on my fifth i can definitely say that at the beginning I had a big problem. I wasn’t as good as the skilled players, but I also wasn’t much of a competitor. I first started playing in my first year of eighth grade but i never found any success so i took a year off. During that small time off I missed something. I missed being on the bench, And

The purpose of the article, “Staying on Top” is to explain the key factors of the Syracuse University men’s lacrosse team success. The philosophy that the coaches believe will best benefit the players and the foundation of strength and conditioning program are critical to secure the Syracuse Orange spot as champions. Like many other sport coaches, the training program is never set because players needs to be motivated with different type of exercises and not all players are on the same level. A coach objective is to identify flaws that need to be improved and strong points that can be further enhanced. The training program is divided into four phases, each focusing on a different concept to develop players strength, endurance, power, technique,

Especially when I got to college. How could this 18-year-old kid be taking this many classes and still have time for practice, let alone time with friends? As I was working to finish a 5-page paper, the lacrosse guys were working to finish a 5-mile run. Why on earth would one choose this path if they both led to the same result? I never understood, until I talked to one of them. Matt was a freshman at Illinois State University, coming from his hometown of Naperville. Matt was also late for class… He stumbled in, looked towards the teacher for any sign of pity, and finally found a spot in the desk next to me. I could tell by his team jacket and sweaty hair, that he had just come from lacrosse practice. “Hey man, do you play lacrosse here?” I asked. He looked at me with almost a sigh of relief; he now had someone who understood his struggle. “I do!” he replied, “Our first game is this Saturday!” Without beating around the bush, I whispered, “How do you have time to do schoolwork, and lacrosse?” He laughed, “I actually have a job too if you can believe it. Out of all of them, lacrosse is the only one that keeps me in check. It doesn’t really feel like work to me, it’s just something that I really enjoy”. The realization came to me at once after these words. The same way I felt about writing a paper was the same way Matt felt about lacrosse. It wasn’t work; it was finally a chance to play! Sure, both take a lot of long hours and dedication, but where we choose to allocate this dedication is what makes us the individuals that we are! I guarantee Matt couldn’t write a better English paper than myself. I also guarantee that I couldn’t keep up with him during a 5-mile run. We are
