In this month's Lacrosse Magazine, the author enumerates some important qualities for superior athletes.
- Leadership
- Consistency
- Mental Toughness
- Big-Game Presence
- Poise
As our players gain more experience and develop, we will be looking for 'court leadership'. A leader can help inspire the players around her, and transmit high energy play. Consistent players will be able to bring reproducible skills (e.g. rebounding, blocking out, defense, passing), even when some parts of their game (e.g. shooting) might be off. Mental toughness is partly innate, but players who know they have prepared can lean on that preparation in the critical moments.
We look forward to a terrific year with both teams.
