Music Monday: LXM Takeover
Over the weekend while I was in Orem, Utah with Mark Donahue taking in the sights and sounds of LXM 801 I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and ask a few pros what they’ve been listening to. Check out Mark’s video below to find out; some of their responses might surprise you! Interested […]
Music Monday: BTVII
Earlier this year, we introduced you to my favorite band, Blitzen Trapper, in ‘The Nemo Edition’ of Music Monday.
Keeping Doors Open
When I was a freshman in high school, I tried out for the varsity basketball team. Just before our first scrimmage two of the upperclassmen got into some kind of trouble and weren’t going to be allowed to compete. One man’s misfortune is another man’s opportunity. Those were the words that Ray Wilson, one of […]
Stick Trick Saturday: The High Life
You might as well call this week the soft hands challenge. The goal of this week is to push your boundaries. Keep throwing the ball as high as you can testing your hands, the higher the better.
Lax Hacks: Saving Your Butt
This simple Lax Hack will keep your shaft from “cookie cuttering” your rubber end cap. Personally I don’t use rubber butt ends anymore but I used to use this trick to keep my shafts from ripping apart the rubber and exposing the metal. Not only is an uncovered butt end dangerous but it’s also illegal and you’ll be putting your team at risk for an unnecessary penalty.
Look At The Big Picture
Happy Friday! Last night I watched a high school football game. It was a game. I’m not sure that I could call it a competition since it wasn’t very competitive.

Accomplish More Do Less
Good morning! Today’s Words of Wisdom are from an article I came across earlier this week, titled “12 Ways to Accomplish More by Doing Less.” We all, at some point, feel that we are doing too much. Sometimes it’s by default, because we have a lot on our plates. Sometimes it’s our own fault, because […]
Never Stop Learning
“If you stop learning today, you stop leading tomorrow.”- Howard Hendricks None of us needs to know everything about everything. But chances are we do need to know everything about something, and it’s probably to our benefit to know something about a lot of things. (Un)Fortunately, we live in a world of quick and easy […]
Mike Brand Summer Photos: Part 2
Mike Brand is back on LAS with another killer Summer Photos post. Mike has been traversing the country, and seeing a ton of lacrosse, and now he’s sharing that experience with us.
The Medicine Game: Writer & Director Interview
The Medicine Game promises to be entertaining as the story is a good one, but I think many people will also find it eye-opening and educational, and this latter part pushed me to try to learn more before seeing the film tonight on TV. I was lucky enough to catch up with the film’s Writer, Jason Halpin, as well as the film’s Director, Luke Korver, via email, and they answered some pressing questions for us…
Spotted: Lacrosse, Tommy Hilfiger, and Hong Kong
Lacrosse, Tommy Hilfiger, and Hong Kong…what do they have in common? The fact that Bates alum Rory Baldini spotted a lacrosse stick in this Tommy Hilfiger window in Hong Kong!
