James

My son is 24/7 lacrosse all year. If he isn't, he's working detailing cars, or studying to be the best version of himself.

What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

James loves playing the face off in position lacrosse because of the skill it requires to be good. The camaraderie he has built with his teammates over the years. He embraces the humbling moments, and he also has a willingness to learn and acknowledge what he can do to be better.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

The person who inspires my son the most has to be his coach, Noah Rak. Noah is a stand-up guy. He played lacrosse professionally. He has given James a chance and opportunity to get better. He has helped James grow and learn how to make adjustments on the fly. My son would say he has learned the most from Coach Noah Rak.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Scoring right out of the face off the 1st time was awesome. When he entered high school and started caring about his grades. Then seeing the work pay off, when he made 2nd team all-state as a sophomore was an aweome moment as well.
