I’ve been playing lacrosse for 9 seasons now. Four of these years I played as an attackman then gradually switched over to defense. Lacrosse helps with footwork, hand eye coordination, strategy, balance, communication, change of direction and overall speed and power. I don’t love lacrosse but I do enjoy it, in a way that makes it much less stressful to play, especially with guys I’ve known for years. I think lacrosse is a great alternative for football players who get bored in the offseason or who don’t like baseball. I think that the sport will continue to get more and more popular. The sport continues to develop and change rapidly, welcoming new players along the way.
