    Lost to Team Wisconsin 7-3 quarterfinals. Much better than us and some big boys on defense. They ended up beating Indiana 10-1 in the final. My son not ready for that level of play yet but its all good. Good experience for him. Did draw a penalty today, but thats about it. It was also hot af

    Today was the day as a dad, you look at your boy or girl and they arent your little one anymore in a sense. It will happen to all of you with kids. You will look at them or a pic and you reflect. Th 2019-07-01_09.54.41.jpg ey go from 10 to 13 years old and the time is gone,

    Seeing your lacrosse posts gives me the itch to want to coach at some point. I started playing right after quitting basketball and I realized day 1 that having really good defensive basketball coaches made me totally understand lacrosse defense on day 1. It’s an awesome sport.

    Wisconsin scored 3 goals on pick and roll with a backpick for the roller. I didn't know such a thing existed a year ago. Its an awesome game live. Fast and some angry kids who will take some cheap shots, get a 30 second penalty, then come right back and do it again.

    I was really lucky to play for a defensive coach that himself played at the college level for a legendary defensive coach. We were running a scheme that was light years beyond what anyone we ever played was doing.

    10U won district last night. In 4 games they outscored opponents 53-6. Competition is so weak, I still have no idea what it will mean moving forward.

    Wrapped up the more serious of the jr golf leagues today. It was a really good experience and is an example of the way youth sports leagues should be run, IMO. Cotton Jr. didn't play in all of the events, but he finished with a 1st, a 2nd, 2 3rds and a 4th as a 9yo in the 9-10 division, so I'm pretty proud.

    actually he didn't even ask. i'd say it was more of a statement/order.

    Some people have to ask questions, just to ask questions. They're the worst in meetings, especially because I hate meetings. I think sometimes I get invited to meetings so I can ask a person to stop asking stupid questions so I can go. Normally when I piss the boss off, they'll talk to me on the side, no one has ever pulled me to the side for asking to cut the crap.
