Some players are extremely "easy" to play with, and some players are very "difficult" to play with. What makes a lacrosse player "easy" to play with?

The only other ACC school that could swing a start up program like SMU just did is Miami. Their health and hospital system prints money, which allows their donors to divert elsewhere.

I was grateful to attend an amazing event from @Bronx_Lacrosse this week I was so impressed by @CoachDAnnolfo ‘s speech and hearing one of his current players from the Bronx speak was an incredible testament to the work Dan Leventhal and team are doing (and of course how he has grown at @TuftsLacrosse )! Thank you for hosting us all and for growing this game we love

We got an email this week from a parent of a 2031 player. Her daughter loves the game & plays constantly. They want to help her improve, but struggle with which opportunities to pursue. Today's "Weekly Thought" on setting guardrails to make decisions with confidence. 🧵👇

Fully endowed would include operating budget, coaches and staff salaries and scholarships. Lots of variability there, but figure $2M - $3M. (Could be more these days depending on how many scholarships are funded). If you want to endow all that, its $40M to $60M.

2010s: athletes, don’t forget to change the subject / coaches name in the intro when you are sending the same email to college coaches 2026: coaches, don’t forget to take the AI instructions out of your recruiting content before posting “Insert handle here” “6 posts. 1 mission” “But here’s the real story”

In recruiting today, commitments are happening faster than ever. -offer deadlines -recruits asking coaches to visit faster -recruits more willing to commit prior to visits What actionable advice would you give a player and family to be more ready in this process?

What helps youth teams win today doesn’t always develop players long term. Giving the ball to the biggest, fastest kid will win games. But what happens when that player is no longer the biggest or fastest? What are others learning? Tips on coaching for long-term growth🧵👇

We have a choice: let other people decide what you're worth — or keep showing up, keep building, keep evolving. I’ll choose the second every time.

It's actually hilarious to think how everyone uses Instagram now... In 2012 we were on the Vail lacrosse trip with FCA taking pictures of mountains, saying, "#nofilter" Couldn't imagine what my Instagram commitment graphic would have looked like at that time 🤣

I like this. When the 9/9 prospect day invite emails come…. Look for the unsubscribe button.

Parent calls me: “My son got an email from a Big Ten school. They want him at their camp and it’s signed by the coach.” I said, “No disrespect, but he’s a 2028 throwing 76 mph. Does the email say ‘unsubscribe’ at the bottom?” It did.
