Don’t Fear Failure

Never, quit

Now, we’re not talking about quitting a project that will never amount to anything or quitting a dead-end job, we’re talking about quitting on the necessary steps to become a winner. For John Wooden, these necessary steps can be shown in a pyramid. Below I’ve listed some of these steps that must be taken to achieve greatness. What steps do you take to become a winner?

Competitive Greatness

Conditioning

Delany Comerford = Studlete

This past weekend was the second year of the FLG Premier Showcase Series. Over the weekend, nearly 1,000 uncommitted High School aged studletes came to Long Island to compete in front of hundreds of College Coaches.

Yesterday, 1 studlete in particular impressed, inspired, and implied. Delany Comerford was a 2018 defender from Garden City, NY. She competed with the 2017 age group throughout the day and continuing to impress coaches, fans, and teammates alike. Coaches were impressed by her ability to receive instruction and apply what she learned to her play on the field. Fans were in awe by her skill, creativity, and precision. Teammates were impressed by her positive, sweet, selfless demeanor. Everyone at the event was inspired by Delany’s ability to hang with the best uncommitted athletes in the 2017 class. Delany herself, implied that her handicap wasn’t going to stop her from competing at an extremely high level and playing the game she loves.

Delany was raised in Garden City, a lacrosse hotbed with a rich history for the sport. She was given a stick in 2nd grade because that’s what her and all her friends did in town. After falling in love with the sport at a young age, she continued to play at a high level in town and with her Yellow Jackets club lacrosse team. Today, she’s looking to compete against some of the best athletes in her grade for a shot to play at the collegiate level. FLG would like to thank Delany for her efforts this past weekend. We hope you continue to impress, inspire, and imply that nothing’s going to stop you from becoming the best you can be. You’re the definition of a studlete!

FLG Goes Green

7 days until the FLG Girls Premier Showcase.

FLG Goes Green Logo
FLG has gone Green for all our Showcase events this summer.

How we are going green:

  • We will have recycling bins at the showcases to throw out plastic bottles
  • We will have informative signs & fun facts to promote recycling
  • We will limit the use of plastic/paper cups and utilize sport water bottles by continuously refilling them

Fun Fact:

“Recycling of each ton of paper saves 17 trees and 7,000 gallons of water”. Love the earth, like you love the game.
