Rockin’ the USL LAREDO Training

The following article may be found here: http://www.uslacrosse.org/TopNav2Left/Officials/MensOfficialsInformation/RockintheUSLLAREDOTraining.aspx

I get to toot my own horn a little bit here! I am very excited to report that I am attending a LAREDO (LAcrosse REferee DevelOpment) clinic in Vail, Colorado this summer. US Lacrosse did a short story on the LAREDO program, and I was asked to contribute a few quotes about it. Here is the full article:

Oldies, But Goodies

Oldies, But Goodies

Below are a compilation of some posts from the early blogging days of your’s truly. While they are dated by about a year or so, they are still quite relevant to the sport. Also, this gives me a little bit of extra time to get my writing schedule in order, and do some research on future content. As always, if anyone has any ideas for future posts, please comment below or email [email protected].

Plans For The Summer

As always, I am surprised how quickly the spring season comes to a close. We are wrapping up our last playoff and championship games this week and weekend for Atlanta Youth Lacrosse, and I wanted to give a quick rundown of what to expect from the AYL blog moving into the summer.

  1. More Posts! – I’m done with the spring semester, which means I’m not working my studies (1 year to go for my Psychology Major!), which means more posts for ...

More Streamlined Website For Our Members

More Streamlined Website For Our Members

I’ve been doing a lot of research into the Google Analytics of www.ayllax.com, and I’ve found that most visitors only go to a few particular pages. Because of this I streamlined the AYL website to better reflect what people want to access, and make it easier for our visitors to access their favorite pages.

The main menu has been trimmed down to the six most important options that visitors go to regularly:

  1. Seasons
  2. Schedules
  3. Rosters
  4. Blog

Live Blogging the Convention Days 2 and 3

Live Blogging the Convention Days 2 and 3

What a fantastic weekend. Really, that is the best word to describe how the 2012 Convention went. Both Coach Lou and Coach Shaun had excellent presentations. Coach Lou spoke on how to get the most out of a short practice, and Shaun Lux detailed the two man game in lacrosse. By all accounts of the attendees, each speaker did an incredible job explaining their topic of choice.

On the officials side, I was once again ...

Live Blogging The Convention – Day 1

I am coming at you live during Day 2 of the 2012 US Lacrosse Convention to tell you everything we got to experience on Day 1. With no presentations starting until 3:00pm, all of the coaches and I were free to sleep in a little bit and walk around the expo. As usual the expo area was packed with vendors with every lacrosse item imaginable. From bamboo shafts, to cool headwear, to Continue Reading →

We are live in the city of brotherly love, also known as Philadelphia.

Jimmy V Week

Jimmy V Week

While I do not usually post on Wednesdays, I felt compelled to do a short post after watching Jim Valvano’s 1993 ESPY speech last night for the first time in my life. As with many great speeches, I was drawn in not by the quality of the words, but by the passion that was behind them. I put aside the project I was working on and listened to a man with tumors rotting his body rail against cancer, and speak ...
