First Day Tomorrow!

Tomorrow I start my first work for In the Arena and I must admit I am anxiously awaiting it! Several months have passed since I was first introduced to Amory and In the Arena (all over the internet...we met in person for the first time today!) and I am excited about how the project has shaped up.  I will be working with three different youth and community centers in Cambridge, MA to get the kids excited about lacrosse and share the experiences that I have been fortunate to have at Duke and with the U.S. team.  I am particularly looking forward to interacting with Cambridge residents, as I attended BB&N (Buckingham, Browne & Nichols School) in Cambridge from 7th-12th grade. 

As for training, I started everything up again a couple of weeks ago after taking much of June to rest my body.  Our season at Duke ended in late May with a loss to Northwestern in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, and I had been training for close to two years straight with little rest due to the World Cup last summer.  Needless to say, it was nice to take a few weeks off!  I am excited, however, because I haven't lost too much of my fitness.  I currently have my eyes set on tryouts for the U.S. Lacrosse team from July 29th-August 1st.
