Who is coming Back 2 back?
4 Grades, 4 Champs
4 days until the #BigX tournament at LIU Post! There will be 1 champ in each grade.
There are 4 age divisions competing this weekend. Which class are you getting ready to dominate?
Fight or Flight
You’re not feeling like yourself, you’re groggy, you’re tired, you’re nauseous. You have a lacrosse tournament tomorrow morning. Your team has prepared for this tournament for months. Countless practices, individual training sessions, and chalk talks went into getting the team ready for competition.
You’re not feeling yourself, so how do you choose to approach this big event?
Do you shut everything down, stay home, lay low, become a victim to the resistance?
Or, do you show up, do what you can, rise above the ill feelings, adapt, adjust, and fight the resistance?
You as a parent have a choice what to tell your child when their in this position. You as a player have a choice how you can respond to adversity.
At FLG, we want players that have that fight. Not to say that’s right or tell you what’s wrong, it’s just what we want in our Program.
How a Studlete Prepares for Finals
- Find people outside of your friend group to study with. You will have a tendency to be more focused if you study with a group of classmates, as opposed to a group of friends.
- Use index/flash cards and rewrite your notes to study. eFlash cards are a great way to save paper! Whatever works though. Repetitions are the key to memorizing. Just like taking more shots, GB’s, or reps on the field.
- Get yourself on a proper sleep schedule. No need to study all hours of the night. Sleep is arguably more important than anything you can do during finals time.
- Stay away from energy drinks. While Red bull may give you wings for a brief period of time, before you know it you’ll be crashing and quenching for more!
- Eat a solid breakfast. Mix it up with some fruit, protein, and nutrients. Don’t over eat, but eat well.
- Come prepared – extra writing utensils, extra batteries for calculators, etc.
- Chew the SAME gum while studying that you chew while you’re taking the test (if possible) This will allow you to get that consistency and remember your material better on game-day (test-day, sorry!) ; )
- Don’t second guess yourself! You’ve studied, you’ve worked hard, you’re prepared, now go with your gut!
- Don’t compare yourself to others. Some move fast, others slow, stay the road, and up you will go. (Hope you liked our jingle)
Summer Camp Is Da Bomb
We all know that most parents, at some point, attended summer camp. Today, kids don’t tend to get that same experience. Families are so consumed with their organized summer travel schedule that young kids don’t get the summer camp experience.
During July 4th week, FLG Lacrosse offers a unique summer camp experience for Kindergarten through 8th grade boys and girls. This camp uses lacrosse as a foundation to introduce fun, competitive, creative, unique games and drills. Our goal, is to give campers that summer camp experience and get every camper to fall in love with the sport.
Ever played capture the flag with a lacrosse stick? Ever replace baseball miss with lacrosse sticks during a baseball game? Ever participated in a camp wide Apache Relay?! Come to the FLG summer camp and experience it all! At 21 days away from Day 1 of camp, we still have spots open. Interested? Register today!
