Hot Pot: 5 Rules For Lacrosse Players
As we approach the Spring season, it’s easy to let our excitement take over and forget about what got us to where we are. I’ve got FIVE basic rules that every player can follow, and I am willing to bet that if you follow these guidelines you’re going to experience a fantastic 2014! We’re hoping that everyone has a great Spring, and we hope this list assists you in getting it done.
1) Don’t Just Play… IMPROVE
It’s easy to go to practice with the team, play in games, and do what is expected of you. It’s much harder to put some pressure on yourself to do more, and then actually follow through on it. If practice starts at 4pm, get out there at 3pm and put in the extra work shooting, working on ground balls, or doing one-on-ones. If YOU put in the extra time, you will notice improvement in your game. If your TEAM puts in the extra work, you will all notice improvements, and your squad will win more games. If you LOVE lacrosse, you should be looking for ways to practice and play more. The opportunity is there, so grab it by the horns. More shooting, more wall ball, more time with a stick in your hands. Make it happen.
2) Figure Out Your Pocket
It’s easy to upgrade your shaft or head, simply by shelling out some additional dollars. But is this really going to help your game in any tangible way? Probably not. But there is something else you can do, which is much cheaper, and will help a lot more… get your pocket set up NOW! Your pocket is the most individualized piece of equipment you own. Make sure you can shoot with it. Make sure you can cradle and pass with it easily. Make you sure you can catch and scoop up ground balls. Then make sure you have a back up head that is strung up the exact same way. If you can’t pass the ball well, you can’t play well. Get your sticks in order ASAP!
There are so many resources out there now for Stringing from the LAS Tutorials to ECD’s database to StringKing’s UString project, and beyond. Buy some supplies, get on YouTube, and teach yourself how to fix, maintain, and string your stick. It’s a huge part of the game that EVERYONE can control for themselves. Know it, learn it, live it.
3) Never Put Your Head Down
We don’t dodge with our heads down because that is when we get hit hard, but that’s not what I’m talking about here, even if it’s a good point. Mike Daly at Tufts doesn’t mind when his players shoot the ball and the goalie makes a save on a good shot. Goalies make saves. It happens. Daly does mind when a player puts his head down and sulks after a play doesn’t go his way, and it’s one of the better pieces of advice I’ve ever heard.
If you make a bad play, and put your head down to sulk for two seconds, you have just wasted two seconds where you could have been trying to make up for that bad play. Goalie makes a save on you? Don’t put your head in your hands… TURN AROUND AND RIDE! Get the ball back. Score the next goal. Make a feed. Pick up a loose ball, or play good defense. The worst thing you can do is wallow in your own momentary failure… there is more lacrosse to be played!
4) Learn The Golden Rule, And Use It
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you
If you were a coach, would you want some kid giving you a hard time? If you were a player, would you want some coach picking on you incessantly? If you were a ref, would you want players, coaches, and parents screaming at you? If you were your own teammate, would you want to play with a ball hog, or someone who is always talking trash?
Hopefully, the answer to the above questions is an emphatic “NO”. Assuming that is the case, keep all of this in mind when you play. Lacrosse is a game, and there is something more important than playing well or winning… and it’s called sportsmanship. If we really wanted to see a “war”, we’d go to Syria and set up lawn chairs. We don’t actually want to see that. We want to see a hotly contested, intense, and honorable GAME. Honor the game above all else (this means above yourself, your team, winning, etc) and you’ll be just fine.
5) Have Fun
We often hear the phrase “But I was just having fun!” used as an excuse to rationalize bad behavior. So when we talk about “having fun”, some distinctions need to be made. It’s not about just YOU having fun. It’s about creating a fun atmosphere to play in. This means that your parents, coaches, teammates, and even the refs should have fun. It also means your opponents should have fun too.
How do two teams play a game, where one loses, and everyone has fun? If you’re asking this question, it means you’re probably doing it wrong. Wins and losses are important, but they aren’t everything. I’ve lost some games in my day that were fun games. It bummed me out to lose, but I also recognized that the game was played hard, both teams gave it their all, and sportsmanship was on display… this gave me a sense of enjoyment, even if I personally didn’t play that well.
The above attitude made it easier to get back to work the next day, and it helped me focus on Rules 1, 3, and 4 even more. Maybe it even gave me greater clarity on how my pocket needed to be set up… all I know for sure is that Rule 5 is the hardest one to truly follow, but the rule with the biggest potential payoff.
ISU penalizes men’s lacrosse after parking outside marijuana dispensary – Iowa State Daily
Nicole Hasek, Niche Editor|February 16, 2023
A survey found that as of 2020, Colorado has 14.1 dispensaries per 50,000 residents, ranking it the fourth highest state in dispensaries per capita.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include an email sent to FIRE on Feb. 10. by Iowa State University’s legal counsel.
While stopping for lunch during a team trip, the men’s lacrosse team parked outside a legal marijuana dispensary as they had nowhere else to leave their car. The university then stripped them of their vehicle privileges citing a speeding ticket for their rationale, but the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression disagrees.
High Plainz Strains is a legal marijuana dispensary operating out of Sedgwick, Colorado. On Nov. 13, a few members of the team parked an Iowa State University-owned suburban near this dispensary while they were eating at a nearby restaurant. During this time, an unknown third party took a photo of the vehicle and dispensary. There is no evidence of any team members going into or purchasing any products from the dispensary.
After the original publication of this article, the Office of Strategic Relations and Communications reached out to the Daily and shared the letter the university sent to responding to FIRE’s claims. In the letter, issued by General Counsel and Chief Risk Officer Michael Norton, it is stated as part of the conditions for rental university vehicles, all renters agree to obey traffic laws and safely operate vehicles.
He also stated that the club nor members of the club received any disciplinary sanction under the university’s Student Code of Conduct. Instead, the penality was tied to the groups reckless and dangerous misuse of the privilege, Norton wrote.
“In reality, the lacrosse club and the individual driver of the university vehicle have temporarily lost the privilege of renting vehicles owned and maintained by University Transportation Services solely because of the club’s reckless use of a university vehicle. As detailed in the documentation attached to your correspondence, and provided to club leadership, the club members were observed driving at a reckless and dangerous rate of speed and were later cited for speeding by law enforcement while using a university vehicle during an official club activity,” Norton wrote to FIRE on Feb. 10.
The photo was sent to Barstool ISU (@barstoolisu), an Instagram account for Iowa State student content that is not affiliated with the university. The post has since been deleted, but it was public long enough for the university to get involved.
“Some rando took it,” said Max Gula, lacrosse team president. “I’ve reached out personally to one of the admins at Barstool to confirm that none of the guys on our team sent him the photo, which was something we were thinking might have happened. We don’t know how it got to Barstool.”
The team was called into a meeting with recreation services to discuss the photo and their punishment Dec. 8.
The team is not only banned from using university vehicles for the remainder of the semester, but also from driving themselves in their personal vehicles. This means in order to travel, they will have to rent their own shuttle buses with a hired driver, which is out of their current budget.
“We have had to cancel trips at this point that we’ve established we’ve been going to since June,” Gula said.
With cancellation comes fees, digging the team deeper into financial hardships. Fundraising efforts and dues have increased in order to try and pay their cancellation fees and transportation costs. Player dues have increased by $200 a semester, and it still is not enough.
At least five members of the team have quit solely because they can no longer afford to play.
With nowhere else to go, the team reached out to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) for help. FIRE firmly believes the punishment goes against the team’s First Amendment rights.
“We wrote a letter to the university on Feb. 3, explaining the First Amendment and due process issues here,” said Zachary Greenberg, program officer for the campus right to advocacy. “In our letter, we call the university to rescind the sanctions that they put on the lacrosse team because this punishment violated their free speech rights.”
Iowa State felt that its reputation was hurt due to the photo. However, Greenberg stated that public universities must follow the First Amendment and respect students’ right to expression.
“They shouldn’t punish students for expression that’s not even theirs,” Greenberg said. “They were punished for the actions of a third party. The Barstool Instagram account that students had nothing to do with.”
Nathan Pick, senior assistant director of sports programs, was involved in the punishment given. During the reporting of this story, The Daily reached out to him Feb. 10, he said over email, “We received a letter from FIRE and are reviewing it. We have no other comment at this time.”
Shortly after this, FIRE received a response from Iowa State regarding the team’s punishment.
“The university claims that the whole punishment was based on a speeding ticket that the group got in October, and the photo had no basis at all for the punishment,” Greenberg said. “This does not strike us as very plausible because when the administrators were meeting with the students, they consistently stressed the importance of reputation, how the photo embarrassed them and how the photo is really the basis of the punishment. ”
Norton stated that the lacrosse team, or any individual player, did not receive any punishment from the photo taken.
“As you acknowledge as a possibility, it does not appear the FIRE has a full and correct understanding of the facts associated with the incident referenced in your correspondence,” Norton wrote.
This speeding ticket refers to Gula being pulled over while driving a university vehicle after competing Oct. 23.
Included in the FIRE letter is an email sent from Pick to Gula, stating the situations and punishments for the team. A speeding ticket and the dispensary photo are listed, recommending an individual punishment to Gula for speeding, and a team punishment for the photo. Gula received a one-game suspension for the spring 2023 season.
“The only action taken by the university with respect to the club was the temporary suspension of the club/driver’s privilege to rent university vehicles,” Norton wrote in the letter to FIRE. “While there was an educational and development discussion with club leadership about university vehicles representing the university and being used for official university purposes only, and therefore how the reckless driving and associated social media posts may reflect on the university, this educational discussion was separate and not related in any way to the transportation services restriction of rental privileges. ”
FIRE has also commented on Iowa State’s history with free speech and marijuana, referring to the university rescinding approval of a T-shirt design from NORML, a pro-legalization of marijuana group. The shirt featured Cy and a design with the phrases “Legalize IT” and “NORML ISU Supports Legalizing Marijuana.” After FIRE sued over this in 2017, Iowa State paid almost $1 million for violating the First Amendment.
“We’d like to hold administrators accountable for robbing students’ rights,” Greenberg said. “We wrote a blog about this. We like to name and shame, call them out, for not adhering to their responsibilities.”
As of now, Iowa State will not make any revisions to the punishment, according to Greenberg.
“We signed up to play lacrosse, not to have our rights taken,” Gula said.
