    Coaching isn’t running kids through the drills your college coach ran or training a different group of kids once or twice a week &acting like your re inventing the wheel IT IS connecting with people building their trust & making CONTINUED progress developing skill sets & growth🎯

    Heart breaks for student athletes &coaches that have had their seasons & for some careers abruptly ended today. So much hard work &sacrifice by players & staffs. These players will have no closure with their best friends& teammates Can’t stop thinking about seniors 💔 Tough Day

    Great for @NCAA men’s lacrosse having the ability to give each tournament game its own time block. I DO NOT think it’s too late for @NCAA women’s lacrosse to do the same!This allows lacrosse to support lacrosse -Lets get it right Athletes deserve it so do the fans @IWLCA

    Here’s an idea for the Lacrosse world let’s unify regardless of pro league, college affiliation, hot bed, non hot bed or region of the country and push together for UNIFIED RULES from high school to college for boys and girls POWER UP together

    WINNING has a price. LEADERSHIP has a price I pushed people when they didn’t want to be pushed. I challenged people when they didn’t want to be challenged But i never asked them to do something I wasn’t willing to do myself -MJ Man this is strong Love it 🎯

    Ok NYS think we were close pre Covid but IT IS TIME FOR SHOT CLOCKS IN HS boys and girls LACROSSE! Enough is enough have witnessed too many super low scoring games that feature kids standing holding the ball for 5+ minute possessions with No attempt! It’s happening other states

    OUTSTANDING job by @SectXISuffolk and the Suffolk Superintendents suspending the season and not canceling. Demonstrating great patience and professionalism while also NOT putting anyone in Danger. SAFETY first while also not rushing to finality WELL DONE
