Lacrosse Isn't Harder Than It Looks

Yesterday I had a Lacrosse game and it was pretty fun. I would have to say one of the hardest parts of the game was facing off and the break we had where my coach told me not to take off my gloves (big puffy gloves. Really hard to do anything but lacrosse in them) and I wanted to get a quick drink of water. After I had a drink I had to twist my whole arm counterclockwise, put my hand on the cap of the bottle, twist my arm clockwise, retract my arm, twist counterclockwise, replace hand, twist, retract, twist, replace, twist, and so on. While I did that the cap kept slipping back around half of what I did making my progress even slower. I got it in the end, but only just before I had to go back into the game. To make a long story short I ended up using more energy than I got from a sip of water by putting it away. That was definitely one of the hardest parts that day.

  1. It's amazing how the hardest parts of the game are not even in the game. I really enjoy your blog Luke, you're an amazing writer! I get a kick out of what you write too.
