NIKE CHROME

Well, I've been told the new Nike chrome heads will hit all Lacrosse Unlimited stores by 11/1.....that's right you heard it here 1st. Colors that will be available are royal (like the one I got my hands on....in the picture), silver, gold, red, orange, kelly green and Ice. These heads are pretty sweet especially if you want some bling!!!

Big weekend for a lot of the top players as the annual Hawaii tournament is here. I was hoping to come out of retirement and get out there but it ain't happening this year unfortunately. Maybe next year?

November is already here.....I know the season seems far away but it in reality it isn't. Keep working on your game.....strength, conditioning and your stick!

Sitting on the train heading back to Boston from NYC. The Lacrosse Unlimited Team (GM's, retail managers, Team sales, warehouse & front office staff) had a product tech session with STX & Nike @ Local Bar & Restaurant on West 33rd (owned by former Cornell lax player John Hile). It was a great time, we got a chance to see all of the new product from STX & Nike and learned about the different technologies and enhancements of each product. Sean Morris, Pat Heim, Matt Schomburg (sales reps for STX/Nike) along with Mike Murphy (sales manager) and Jason Goger (General Manager of STX) were giving us small tech sessions on various products. Max Siebald and Kristen Kjellman from Nike were also there to assist. Check out some of the new gear online.....those chrome heads are pretty sweet....can't wait to get mine (yes that's directed @ you Sean Morris!)

Last night was also cool because I (and everyone else) got a chance to meet people in the company that I've never met before. With 20+ stores we have a lot of managers and a lot of other folks in the company that you see on email lists and that's it. Lax Unlimited has been successful because of the quality people that work for the company, so it was good to finally put faces to the names. It was a real good team building exercise to be honest, people were psyched. Things like this are important not only on the lacrosse field but also in business!

Make sure you find a wall and get your touches in this weekend.......

Gamecocks!

Did you see that the Alabama/South Carolina game yesterday? What an upset huh? I'm at the Harvard/Team USA game right now and Harvard is giving USA their moneys worth that's for sure. Both of these games remind me of our loss to the Chesapeake Bayhawks in the semifinals. In a nutshell on any given day any team can beat another, no matter what team is "supposed to be" the better team. The team that shows up and does their jobs, works the hardest and plays within themselves is the team that comes out on top no matter what........keep that in mind the next time someone tells you that your team has no chance to win!

Make sure you're game ready, be in the best shape possible and make sure your stick is ready to go at all times.....you never know when you may get the call.

Lax in Beantown

If you're around Boston this weekend there's some serious lacrosse being played. On Saturday the 3rd annual Catamount classic is being played @ Thayer academy. Each year the field has gotten better and more competitive. This has become one of the premiere fall ball tourneys in the country as well as in New England. Check out www.catamountclassic.com to see whose playing in it this year!

Sunday the US Men's team (well some of them) will be playing Harvard at Harvard Stadium on Sunday @ noon. I know there will be a few US Team members from the Manchester gold medal team playing (Rabil, Seibald, Striebel, Dougherty, McClay amongst a few others). It should be a good event and some great lacrosse. Make sure you pop in and check it out.....look for me and the Lax-School film crew!

Speaking of Paul Rabil, did anyone see "The Body Edition" in the new edition of ESPN the magazine? Lax getting a huge presence with #99....congrats Rabes that's awesome!

BOOM!

Did anyone see the Nike Boom commercial that played for the 1st time last Sunday night during the Jets/Dolphins game? It's been played several times since then. Even though lacrosse had a small presence in the overall sports packed Nike ad, it's pretty sweet that lax (& Max Seibald) are both getting some love with all the other big time sports and professional athletes.

If you haven't seen the Nike full length lacrosse commercial yet, go to my facebook page and check it out.
