Lacrosse

I heard about lacrosse I figured it was my perfect sport. I started playing at the age of 11 and I was absolutely awful. After me being one of the worst kids on the team I realized I really needed practise, I starting playing lacrosse outside every day after school working on things I wasn't too good on. A couple years later I was in highschool, I stopped playing football and soccer, and started to really just worry about basketball and lacrosse. Once tryouts came out for lacrosse I immediately…

naturally, however there is one moment in particular that shaped my work ethics. My story starts my sophomore spring during lacrosse tryouts, but there is a small backstory you must know first. My freshman year of lacrosse I was fortunate enough to get pulled up from the JV lacrosse team to the Varsity. I was ecstatic that I was given the opportunity to be able to play lacrosse at a fast pace level I had never dealt with before. After I had gotten pulled up I knew I had to fight for every…

transfusions to recuperate my health. I even had to get morphine transfusions because the previous painkillers were not strong enough. About a few days later, I was diagnosed with Lupus. So that meant I was not allowed to play volleyball anymore or Lacrosse or any other sport that involved any sort of physical contact with others. Even though I was not able to play anymore, I was okay with it, because while I was in the hospital, I realize something. Because all of the doctors and nurses were…

hockey at the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games where both the men and women’s hockey teams won the gold medal. Another sport that may come as a surprise to some people is Lacrosse. Lacrosse is recognised as Canada’s National Summer Sport. Although hockey’s popularity is indisputable especially here in Canada, Lacrosse is still played by Canadians and is also very popular in the U.S, England, Ireland and Scotland. The Beaver also is a very important symbol that identifies Canadians.…

the Philadelphia Eagles was hit hard in the head, his legs turned to jelly and he collapsed. A few minutes later, he was sent back into the game. That’s not progress.

basketball, and ice hockey. There are only two main sports in Canada: ice hockey, and lacrosse. The only thing that is the same in both countries is ice hockey. The other sports are all different from each other, with the only similarity of football and lacrosse being contact sports. The sports played in the U.S. are usually year-round events, while in Canada, ice hockey is usually played only in winter, and lacrosse in the summer…

wanted to play soccer as much as possible. I guess you could say that I am passionate about what I do. I wish everybody could be passionate about something like how I am about soccer. Some people have other things that they are passionate about like lacrosse or maybe baseball. I want to convince you that soccer is the best sport in the world and it's the most fun. First of all, you might think that soccer is a sport that is not very popular. You would probably think this if you live in…

the game where I ripped a shot far out that went in, leading our team to victory. That feeling of persevering and winning even when times get hard are what drives my passion in lacrosse. It is those moments that make all of the pain and time worth it. Although less exciting, another example of when my passion for lacrosse led me to success was in my college search in the fall of my sophomore year. I was trying to get used to school starting up and the increase of work for sophomore year, but I…

Many of the other lacrosse shafts remain with me also. Finally, one day a young adult came in. It was his first year playing defense and he wanted to acquire his first shaft. My hope got high again, as they do whenever a potential customer arrives at the shop. To my luck,…

Freshmen year I found myself practicing with Atlee's varsity team. In the beginning, I was discouraged. I dreaded going to practice, only…
