Coaching acomplishments

I love partaking in coaching and giving back to Sweetlax because Sweetlax contributed to my success in lacrosse so immensely. Every time I get to walk on the field with a young team I learn just as much as they do. Every practice I'm constantly laughing, teaching, learning and constantly making new connection between new players and other coaches. The greatest thing about being a coach is keeping an open mind and listening to everyone's perspective about situations in the game, especially the older guys and the guys way before my time. This gives me the opportunity to enhance my game for when I return to university in the fall.
