Matt Abbott Game Changer Lacrosse Podcast Chesapeake Bayhawks

Editor’s note: Please welcome GameChanger (and Matt Abbott) to LaxAllStars! GameChanger has developed an amazing new app called Team Manager, which we encourage every lacrosse team administrator to try. The folks at GC love lacrosse, and we’re pumped to have them on board as our partner. We hope you enjoy their podcast!

Today on the show we have Matt Abbott.

Matt Abbott is a graduate of Syracuse University where he was a two-time All-American. He was a third-team All-American as a Junior, and a first-team All-American as a Senior. His senior year, as team co-captain for Syracuse, he won the 2008 national championship. That year, Matt was also a Tewaaraton Trophy finalist.

He was a member of the Team USA in 2014, and 2018. He now plays in the MLL for the Chesapeake Bayhawks.

Matt Abbott: Game Changer

Matt was a former teammate of mine at Syracuse. It was great to catch up with him. We got a chance to talk about how he thought about choosing the right school, controlling what you can, overcoming an off year and much more.

The GameChanger Lacrosse Podcast is about talking to people who have dedicated their life to the game of lacrosse and learning about who they are, how they got to where they are today, and what they do to improve themselves and their teams. Be sure to follow us on twitter, @GCSports. And, if you’re a coach, a parent or you run a travel or club team, check out GameChanger Team Manager in the app store. Its the essential, all-in-one, scheduling and communication app for lacrosse coaches and parents. Unlike other team apps, GameChanger Team Manager is free, easy to use, and doesn’t serve ads.
