The Next Month

As we head into the holidays the next few weeks are important and we can't forget about exercising. The last thing you want to do is to pack on a few extra lb's during Thanksgiving, Christmas. & New Years! Let's face it, you want to have a good time but this is the most important time in our training. If you're a college player this is your tune up before you go back to school and start your preseason conditioning with your teammates. If you're a HS player you want to get your body ready to start going hard after the holidays before your season starts (usually early to mid March).

It's key to continue with your lifting regiment but most importantly don't forget the cardio. Depending where you are outside running can be pleasant or it can be simply painful because of the elements. Getting outside on the road though is important and you should shoot for at least one if not two days a week; 2-4 miles. Set a goal for your time and work hard at hitting it. If you have access to an indoor facility there are other things you can do for conditioning; jumping rope (2 minutes straight, 30 seconds rest-3 sets), slide board (@ some gyms, same as rope), 6o yard shuttles (cones set @ 5, 10, 15 yards-down, back 3x), riding a bike (20-30 mins) & much more.

Conditioning is key for lax players, being able to run for 60 minutes but also being able to make quick, explosive movements & recover quickly. If you want more tips on conditioning & workouts, check out the guidance office @ lax-school.com.


If you want results you got to work hard!

It's on!!

I've been checking out my boy Scott's pictures on the Joe Lax-school Facebook page and I must say I'm getting pretty fired up about making my return at next year's Hawaii tourney. So fired up that I started training last night with my boy Seto Berry at MBX. Great workout, pumped to be back in the gym. I haven't suited up since the 2006 USA Tryouts and I haven't played in a tournament since 2000 when I was up in Lake Placid w/Bedding Barn. Good times!!!! That's the best thing about tourneys; you see people you haven't run into in a long time. You have fun off the field with them but once you step on the field it's just as competitive as it was in the college days.

Lake placid was definitely my favorite tourney, George Leveille does a great job up there. The competition is the best in my opinion with teams from all over and it's in a great setting. I had some great games in Lake Placid later in my career, I remember we lost to Sailing Shoe in the finals one year with a nasty team. RP, Silcott, Reese, Naz contingency, Edell, Fraser, the list goes on and on.

What team do you play with? Hit me up at bd@laxschool.com

A Tournament You Must Attend!

My boys Bill and Scott went down to the 19th annual Hawaii invitational tournament...can't wait till you see all the pics and video they shot.
They just told me they took over a thousand pictures alone...they should be up on facebook.com/joelaxschool shortly.
Check them out...this tourney is always a great one, and one I have yet to get to. My boy Brian Silcott is on the hook for getting me there next year………it’s in the Bberry already, could be the return to the cage after a 4 year hiatus.

The tourney is sick, some of the nastiest players in the game with a backdrop of unbelievable scenery, not to mention the amazing good times for everyone over Halloween weekend. There are 4 divisions drawing players from around the globe; including Japan, Iceland, and Canada. If you want more info on the tourney...check out hawaiilacrosse.com
And for great pics and videos from the weekend check out Lax-school.com!

SICK!

I was up @ LU checking out some of the new gear. Lots of new heads (because of the rule changes), some new gloves from different manufacturers but one thing you rarely see new is a shoulder pad that not only fits well but functions well. Not to mention it looks bad ass......

Check it out....

What Drives You?

I'm sitting here watching Brett Farve once again amaze fans. @ the age of 40, he still gets out there and enjoys the game of football.

What drives Farve is what drives all athletes; the competition and the desire to win and out perform your opponent. Every successful athlete has this, it's also referred to as confidence. Confidence in one's ability to be excel. In other words the will to be the best. .

This "it" factor is what separates the great athletes from the good ones.

What drives you?

Tell me........shoot an email to bd@lax-school.com

PS- I admire Farve but am not a fan of what happened between he and my Jets!!
