Student Athletes have the opportunity to play year round lacrosse and train as a student athlete. Three factors that we advise to seasonal training are as follows:
Student Athlete Time Management:
It is crucial that student athletes maintain and focus on proper time management skills. Academics, family life, friends, and sports can be a lot to juggle. These are skills that every collegiate student will need to utilize. Developing these methods in an aspiring and developing high school student athlete tend to be a huge advantage! It becomes very possible to manage all aspects, enjoy your time playing, and be an even more successful student by practicing these skills!
Development/Recruitment Desires:
Do you strive to be collegiate athlete? How much work do you want to put in to develop and achieve goals on/off the field, in the weight room, and further recruitment? A plan needs to be made, a budget needs to be observed, and goals need to be adjusted as development and recruitment matures.
Multi-Sport Student Athletes:
Its simple. Kids are kids once! It is well known that its great to be a multi-sport athlete, especially when your a kid! Your goals may shift as you mature, and at that time its proper to discuss those adjustments with parents and coaches. Open the discussion on what's best for you, and focus on what's fun!
