I live in a big Lax town. It is a great sport. I am glad to see it starting to grow.

I still like baseball, but the speed of the sport is just amazing. I am a sports photographer and I have done some MLL games—which is like heaven to someone who enjoys the game.

Tell him to do what he loves for as long as he can. Even a couple of years won’t kill his chances for an alternative career—and there are plenty of connections to be made as a coach.

Good for him. Tell him to have fun.

I’m trying to “be fun” about him having too much fun! If he pulls off opening a summer camp business serving Texas where he attracts college coaches Nationwide to see the older kids play, he could live on that comfortably. But it is a stressful responsibility.

Both my sons played Lax through college and I have fantastic professional, blown up pictures of them shooting goals. Photographers seem to like to take pictures of the of the intense faces and body contortions involved in shooting goals. It was a lot of fun for them. A lot of work for me and dad.

My husband has only been to one of his team’s games and he was swarmed by parents bragging on him for raising up such a good son. Our son laughed at him, knowing he was overwhelmed and was not prepared. Dad just kept saying, “it’s him, not me.” He’s the opposite of an attention whore, if you know what I mean. The strong, silent type. I doubt he’ll return.
