My hockey career has been a tumultuous trial of highs and lows, but I always learned from the pitfalls. When I started playing hockey at 12 years old, I was aware of the immense disadvantages I would encounter on my journey. I was late to start playing, so this put me almost a decade behind most of my peers’ skating abilities. The discouraging…

It Takes Concentration. On the lacrosse field, you have to constantly maintain mental concentration. You have to think where the ball is, where your teammates are at, and where the opponents are at.
