Proud of these guys. They don’t even know what lacrosse is, but they decided to take a chance on a new opportunity and become part of the first JV lacrosse team at Charlotte secondary school. Not one has ever played the sport. 20 kids signed up. #CollegeBound #success

Brandon started 4 years ago and just couldn’t catch the ball. After weeks he decided not to play lacrosse but I asked him to be my assistant. Every day I saw him throwing the ball against the wall until one day he caught it. He rejoined us &became best defender in our history

I built Charlotte secondary lacrosse program with Teddy Walker, Athletic director. Tragically, he passed away a year ago Today, Teddy’s wife asked me to tutor their son for the SAT. I can’t think of a better way to honor Mr. Walker than to help his son get a high score on the SAT

First practice for the new guys, Learning how to throw and catch. We used everything we had, so some guys had sticks and some had nothing more than fiddle sticks, but come spring time, I know these guys will be ready to compete

At university of Arizona with former Charlotte secondary player Brendan Mobley, his mom Crystal and Mobley’s new friend Justin. Can’t express how happy we are that he is so happy here

Crossroads the movie at the New Hampshire film festival. Lots of little lacrosse players here telling me how inspired they are by my players. Isn’t that amazing: some of my guys felt they didn’t even matter in life and here they are inspiring people all over the world.

Hangin out with Isaiah, our original goalie. One game he scored 7 goals as goalie so we changed him to middie. Now training to be army special forces. Here for New Hampshire film festival. Stopping by Harvard university. He’s getting ready to study for law school admission test

Mobley has become a real hockey guy. Thank you to the Vancouver Canucks for allowing Mobley to tell the team about his story and the movie, which Mobley is star of. Particular thanks to Coach Travis Green of the Canucks, who is here with Mobley

In Los Angeles with three of the original guys of Charlotte secondary lacrosse program. Steve Harvey about to tell our lacrosse story. Just played Eminem “Lose Yourself” to get us hyped to be on the show. Show airs January 9

Great kid and athlete who has played some club games with our team. Any university would be proud to have him

Not sure about goals or assists, but one stat we lead the league: Congrats to attackman, Zion, blue shirt, 6 point ACT score increase (a 37percent increase in his national ACT ranking) scoring 30 in reading comprehension-90th percentile in nation. I’m proud of him

In Toronto to see a Maple Leafs game. Brendan Mobley with Wayne Gretzky’s dad.

Happy new year

It was a tough season, and I’ll admit I barely survived. Yesterday the kids of Charlotte Secondary Lacrosse played the games of their lives and won the North Carolina club state championship. It took winning the semifinals in overtime to get to the championship game.

More important than thechampionship these 5 seniors will all be pursuing higher education next year. Rico , far left, said he never considered college before the lacrosse team. He studied hard and made it happen. Gonna miss these guys
