Connor Wilson had a long conversation with Patrick Dougherty of Turkey Lacrosse about the future of the sport in Istanbul, the Turkish Capitol, the country overall and where things were headed. I get the feeling the Turks might really love lacrosse as they are exposed to it more and more. Growing The Game!
I'm not quite sure what spurred this Al Jazeera (English) story on the state of lacrosse in America, but they did a pretty fantastic job of summing up where lacrosse fits within the greater context of American sports.
As a Canadian citizen, participating in the tournament as a member of the Chinese national team meant more than representing where I was from, or where I had been born and lived my entire life. It was an opportunity to get in touch with my heritage, meet new people, travel and explore parts of Asia, learn about China and Chinese culture, and lastly, the chance to Grow The Game.
