Lacrosse
My team at the US Lacrosse national championship tournament.
Lacrosse is the fastest game on two feet. It is a very popular sport in the north east, but it is quickly catching on in the south. It is my favorite sport to play and to watch. I love the fast paced speed at which the ball moves. I always have to aware of everything that is going on. The action is nonstop. Lacrosse is a very aggressive sport, but it has a unique gracefulness to it. Every dodge, cut, drop step, head fake is made with a purpose. Lacrosse is not a game for selfish players. One has to be able to pass the ball. Like every lacrosse coach says, and assist is just as good as a goal. The position I play is defense, which is the same position my dad played. I hope to follow in his footsteps by getting a scholarship to a division one college and getting both academic and athletic All-American awards. This will be very difficult, but if he can do it, then so can I.
