If you have hard mesh, u can rub lotion on it then get a ball and pound it. You also just need to throw against a wall so it get broken in. Great stick btw.

Attackmen have to have amazing ball control and can shoot pass and catch in their sleep. Midfield takes a lot of endurance and brute strenght for running up and down the field. Defense takes incredible stickwork, a lot of strength, and the ability to run up and down the field. The best thing you can do is try all positions and decide which one you like best. At the middle school-high school level you usually see the taller/bigger guys playing defense. Since you 6'3 you might want to give defense a second look. However some of the best midfielders i've played with are around 6'4 235 pounds. I'm a defenseman if it means anything to you It really depends on what you feel most comfortable playing.

]]> Comment on What to do to get in shape for lacrosse this spring? by K http://www.calvinlacrosse.com/2010/12/what-to-do-to-get-in-shape-for-lacrosse-this-spring/comment-page-1/#comment-6662 K Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:42:27 +0000 http://www.calvinlacrosse.com/2010/12/what-to-do-to-get-in-shape-for-lacrosse-this-spring/#comment-6662 The best answer i can give u is plyometric exercises, and running/cardio. They increase strength, agility, and endurance, and will help keep u from getting injured, by strengthening muscles as well as surrounding joints and ligaments. Plyometric body weight exercises are what i have my team do in the off season, and even more so during pre-season. Push-ups, pull-ups, one-legged/two-legged squat jumps, walking lunges, sit-ups and/or crunches, wind sprints, shuttle runs, lots of work with exercise balls, and medicine balls to strengthen the core. Also, skill drills r hugely important in the off season to keep stick skills sharp. Forearm and grip strength exercises r also great for improving stick control, as well as shot strength. U don't necessarily need to lift weights to get in shape for lax, but if u do, go for lower weight, higher volume during workouts, strength is great, but speed, endurance, and agility r the cornerstones of a great lax player.
