Physically Commit
Good morning ladies and gentlemen! As we move into the new year, let’s keep in mind that there’s a balance that should be upheld between physical and mental fitness. While it’s not the case for everyone, and it certainly holds true for some people prior to, I’ve found that once people enter the professional/working world, […]
Throwback Thursday: The Legendary Etienne Woodie
There are a lot of really nice old wooden sticks out there, and there are a number of stick makers who do fantastic work. Alf Jacques and Mitchell Brothers are two men who still make wonderful sticks today, but back in the day an Etienne Martin was another gem, and if you can find one of these oldies, scoop it up!
Execute the Game Plan
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! In the last moments before pre game concludes, part of the focus is on execution. By this point, I’ve already evaluated the last game. I’ve watched film, and in my head I’ve replayed my own performance over and over throughout the week. We’ve had practice, so we’ve already addressed concerns […]
Envisioning Greatness
Good morning, ladies and gentleman! I’ve had the opportunity to begin a weekly blog for The Giving Athlete, and last night I posted a blog that was essentially the same as yesterday’s Words of Wisdom. I think I did better job of writing and explaining myself, however. If you care to read that version, you may do so here! […]
Special Lacrosse Player Killed For Headphones
As I was making my way across the internet news scene this morning, I came across the most discouraging and tragic story I have encountered in a long while. It involves lacrosse at a low level, but on a much larger scale, it tells a darker story of America, where success in the face of adversity can be wiped away in a flash by a random act of violence.
Spotted: Huarache Cleats on A Steelers Player
We have seen A LOT of Huarache spottings in the NFL this season. Many of them that we’ve pointed out have been courtesy of tips from reader Sergey Baklykov, and this one is no different. Here we have our first Pittsburgh Steeler player spotted in Huaraches, and it’s Emmanuel Sanders.
Maine Video: Wooden Sticks & Shooting Skeet
It was my first time fixing up a woodie, but the stick came out great, and throws on a dime. It was so nice that I convinced myself I could shoot a skeet pigeon out of the air… I did come pretty close!
Music Monday: Cus It’s The Remix Edition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen! Yes, it’s that time of the week again. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and start to Hanukkah. Since I’m sure all of you were remixing your Thanksgiving dinners into leftover sandwiches and stews all weekend, I figured it was a great week to bring you some chopped […]
Four Steps to the Pre-game
Great Monday morning, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to December. Hard to believe that we are about to close 2013 out already. When I think of December I compare it to the last few minutes of pregame before kickoff, tipoff, or faceoff. In that last little bit of pregame, I’m not concerned with our team’s record. I’m not […]

Music Monday: King Remembered In Time
Justin Scott aka Big K.R.I.T. is a rapper/producer hailing from Meridian, Mississippi. A member of the 2011 XXL Freshmen class, K.R.I.T. brings the flavor of the South along with passion and plenty of bass. One of my favorite quotes by K.R.I.T. is “If it don’t touch my SOUL, I can’t listen to it.” In other words, why bother listening to empty music with no message? Take a listen and be sure to turn up that sub!
Don’t Let It Fade
Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen! “None of us can exist in isolation. Our lives and existence are supported by others in seen and unseen ways, be it by parents, mentors or society at large. To be aware of these connections, to feel appreciation for them, and to strive to give something back to society in a […]
