Lacrosse: The effect

This story is about my life and how lacrosse has influenced me to this day. Before playing lacrosse, I was not committed to doing anything. I lacked discipline and it showed throughout my daily life. For example, during the years I was in elementary school I would be placed into low-skill level classes, goofing off, and having complete disregard for my future. It wasn’t until I started playing lacrosse that I saw how important it was to take academics seriously. As time went by, I realized how important it was to have good grades.

After a year had gone by, I realized that I was very naturally good at lacrosse. I joined a club team, where I met my future mentor, Adam Rand.

I felt at ease when I realized how rewarding it felt when I was able to finish those lifting sessions. I had inquired about a book a while back called “The mental Game of Lacrosse”. This book talks about the mental side of lacrosse and how it can play into our daily lives. The book reveals the mental state your brain goes through when playing lacrosse. The author explains that, while you're playing you start to develop “mental toughness”. This can be seen as a player continuing to play when they get knocked down, or a player playing in the worst kind of weather. It is simply, the ability to allow yourself to let go of the negatives and focus on the
