I’m almost close to being back in the real world following the 2013 US Lacrosse National Convention. Unfortunately, I am still craving cheesesteaks and wishing the convention lasted just a little bit longer. I got to see a lot of old friends from past conventions, officials who moved out of the state, and met a lot of new friends who are doing truly incredible work all over the country through lacrosse. I do want ...

I was first introduced to Lax-4-Life at the 2012 US Lacrosse National Convention. I was wandering through the Expo hall looking at the various vendors and organizations that were represented. Then, when I was about to leave the Expo hall I caught sight of a bright yellow logo, which happened to be the Lax-4-Life logo. Next to the logo were the words “Playing For Suicide Prevention Awareness.” I chatted with the ...

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 ...

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 →

I had the distinct privilege of meeting Ryan Baker and Bill Lundstrom at the 2011 US Lacrosse Convention in Baltimore. I was captivated by their creation of Wheelchair Lacrosse and I stared at their promo video for a couple of minutes with my mouth hanging open. Ryan and Bill were tremendously excited talking about the details and rules of this new game and they were gracious enough to answer a few questions about Wheelchair Lacrosse. If you are interested in ...

Awaking from a truly restful night of sleep Coach Lou and I again headed into the cavernous convention hall. We split ways to view presentations by officials and coaches at the top of their field. Rich Tamberino, an official with over 30 years experience, presented on Mental Checklists. The amount of information that he covers with his officials before a game is astonishing. They go over nearly every aspect I can imagine about a lacrosse game before they ever step ...
