The team began practice with a film session before heading out to the field. Assistant coach Paradine manned a Mac Book Pro and showed some clips of UVA to the team while coaches Haus and Lattimore made commentary as necessary. Afterwards, we headed out to practice on what was a beautiful North Carolina day. There is not much that I can say about practice, but I did learn some new things about the nuances of lacrosse:
- Chris Cortina taught me how extra-man offense, and man-down defense team members are picked. It was something I’ve always wondered.
- I learned from Jamie Locke and Andrew Moss that goal keepers are susceptible to getting their thumbs jammed, and it is common for goal keepers to have messed-up thumbs.
- I learned that Nina Walker reads my blogs! Huzzah!
