Commercial fishing up in Alaska each summer has not only paid for my college, but it has taught me a lot about working for everything you have and not being satisfied with anything less than your best effort. Mike Rowe has my vote.

I remember when I first started playing, I thought learning to string your own stick was just another aspect of learning the game, so I have always done it myself.

If you can't string a decent mesh pocket you are just lazy because, quite simply, it just isn't that hard. and once you can string a decent pocket, you will learn how to string up a sweet bag in no time. then you move on to the traditional action, then you get the khakis, then you get the girl.

this is particularly true for the guys who are ALWAYS fixing their stick (you know the guys I'm talking about). they do it before every game, in the middle of practice, etc. you know why? because they didn't string their own sticks and they don't know what the hell they are doing.

Once you can string a stick to your own specs, you don't have to adjust it as much. that's just science. man up, embrace stringing and become a better player. sleeping with your stick doesn't hurt either, just make sure to buy it breakfast.
