“Lacrosse has impacted me in many ways. I’ve gained lifetime friends, memories, and leadership skills, and learned to control my emotions. The hardest part of lacrosse is the mental part, how you control the wins and losses and if something is not going right how to deal with it and move past it. The friends aspect of lacrosse is probably my favorite part about it; I look forward to every summer when me and my teammates beat good teams and win tournaments. Then afterward we all go out to eat and just have fun every weekend. I’d confidently say lacrosse is one of the most impactful things in my life,” Soph. Griffin Dobb said.
