Convention

Great weekend down at the coaches convention in Baltimore. Ran into a lot of old buddies as I always do, good to see friends you haven't seen in a while. It was great running into one of my closest buds Press (aka Mike Pressler) as he was looking good in his Team USA gear; honeslty there is no one better suited to bring the gold back in the World Games then he and his staff.

There was a lot going on Friday and Saturday in the Convention halls; two lax fields of live demos by some of the best names in the game including the US Men's & Women's teams as well as product presentations by the manufacturers and retailers. We were able to walk through the convention hall on Saturday and check out some new products including the colored facemask Cascade is thinking about introducing. I personally think it's a no brainer to be honest but I'm not the one responsible for pricing and inventory. We show the red mask in our video up on facebook (facebook.com/Lax-school) so check it out let me know your thoughts, it'll also be up on Lax-school.com very shortly. If you think it's something your team would be interested in wearing shoot me an email to bd@lax-school.com and I'll make sure to forward your feedback to Cascade! You never know maybe we'll do a giveaway contest! (have to talk to my boy Ells about that one).....

Besides walking the show and checking out some of the new gear for 2010, we (Lacrosse Unlimited) also hosted coaches socials on Friday and Saturday night. Both went over very well and I was able to meet some new coaches, hand out some business card while enjoying some ice cold beverages. It was definitely a good time and a huge success, looking forward to working with some of the people we met this weekend and building on it for 2011.

February is a couple of weeks away, the high school and youth seasons are slowly approaching. Make sure you're doing work in the gym, on the road/treadmill so you start the season with an edge! Make sure you check out lax-school.com as we'll have some training tips up real soon.
