At every camp and clinic that I do, there are always a couple of things that I talk about following the event; playing multiple sports, the importance of academics and the focus on fundamentals to name a few. Another one that I always talk about, which might prove particularly attractive to coaches, is this:  You learn at practice, you get better on your own. Coach Danowski really...

  As an athlete, there are some things that we get to experience that you cannot experience anywhere else. Being in a big game, playing against your cross town rival or winning a championship are just a few that come to mind when thinking of things that athletes are fortunate enough to experience. But the one that I am going to focus on in this blog is the most sacred of places for...

My main reasoning for this is because looking back at this past 2011 MLL season I scored 29 goals, compared to 23 goals during my final year at Duke.  This might not seem like that big of a deal, until you see that I played in almost double the amount of games during my final year at Duke than I did this past summer...

I am sure a lot of you guys have seen the Warrior Pro Sessions during halftime of this years college games. I figured that it was about time that I gave you guys some behind the scenes footage and told you a little bit about what it was like. We shot the Pro Sessions at the ESPN Studios up in Bristol, CT, which was amazing. ESPN has by far some of the biggest satellites that I have ever seen...
