The most heartwarmingly frightening kind of coach. A lacrosse coach always shows his/her
love for their players, but when you don't do what they ask, can turn into the thing you fear most. Lacrosse coaches are different from regular coaches in that they're coaching a "niche sport" but don't let that fool you, they'll
train your butt off like a
football coach and tell you to sprint around four different fields in 8 minutes. If you don't make it in 8 minutes, do it again! Still can't do it? Down on the ground! Now try again! A Lacrosse coach will mercilessly make you pay for eating
junk before practice. Some are really nice, while others just enjoy the whistle. Some are like a den-mother, while others are tough to get along with.
The truth is,
lax coaches are the epitome of tough-
love, but the most prominent part of them is the way they're frighteningly kind and will stick up for you when you need it. They're on your side whether you like it or not. It'
s not just all yelling and tough-
love, but a lot of nurturing that goes along with teaching a bunch of kids how to work
hard without taking shortcuts.
Friend #1:Dude, you going to
go over to the bonfire? I hear there's going to be tons of beer.
Friend #2: I can't dude, I
got lax practice today.
*Friend #2 goes to bonfire anyway and meets up with Friend #1 after practice the next
day*
Friend #1: Dude! What happened to you'
re legs?
Friend #2: My lacrosse coach made me sprint up bleachers 9 times, around the field
12 times, and I had to do so many crunches that my stomach feels like there's a hole in it.
Friend #1: Dude...I guess he didn't like your reason for skipping last night, did he?
Friend #2:....No, just another
day of practice...You think I should tell him about last night though?
