OK so tomorrow i have lacrosse tryouts, and i know i probably won't make it, but i still will probably get my hopes up too high by the time i try out...is there any way i could make it so im not so disappointed if i dont make it? It'll also make it WAY better if i DO make it if I'm not expecting it hehe

Easy, make the team. A lot of teams want people to be athletic and hustle. If you hustle and never give up on a groundball or catch than you could make it. Think about it if you fight hard for a groundball and both of you guys are struggling to pick it up than you are making the other guy look bad or making you guys look like its a good competition right there. Ya if you dont have the stick make sure you hustle or visa versa but better to be athletic. important thing is dont give up and always MOVE around

I play Lacrosse and I ahve been for like 5 years. I'm pretty good, but I'm not really anything special. Well, my running isn't all that great, and I'd like to improve on my footwork (I mainly play defense, and I have to keep pace, and outrun the other girl).

Are there any drills or things to practice in order to help my cardio and muscles for running, improve my footwork and work on any other Lacrosse skills?

I know it's a general question, but I'd really like to do better. My coach isn't all that great so I feel like even if I do well at practice I'm not doing enough.

Anyone can answer, but I'd prefer if it were runners or Lacrosse players.

Thank You,
XOXO

tredmills and bikes dont improve your footwork at all. Footwork is for dodging not for running..... Running outside is better because in a game you are not going to run in air condition. do jump rope, lay down a line or something straight and jump back and forth over it. Do atleast a minute or 30 seconds for each

does anybody know any LACROSSE STicCK TRICKS?
these are the ones i know so far..

*catch it on the other side
*hit it on the handle part, and catch it
*and throw it, make a circle around it, aand catch it
*throw it, put the stick between your legs and catch it

anyone know anymore?? websites are good too

ha ya theyre fun and sometimes its fun to do a funny shot in a game, but you could combine all those things. Catch on the sidewall instead of otherside obviously, see how many times you can hit it off the side of the stick and head of stick, try to hit off the rubber end. indian pick up , theres a lot u can do when you are creative like obviously throw behind the back or throw it by your side while your stick is upside down which is hard to explain. Jus message me and i can help you out more.

In my school should I do lacrosse or track? I like them both but I'm not sure which to try out for. Can someone give me their opionon? Please don't say one is better than the other give me reasons why. Thank you!

lacrosse! very fun, and not only do you have to be athletic, its a mental game as well. If someone doesnt think its a mental game hit them upside the head. You have to actually be smart in lacrosse, and if you miss track be a middie where you run a lot. Which ever you choose, dont worry its better than baseball lol

Yall I really need help. Okay well I did track last year and then over the summer I tried to work with a really hard running team but it just didn't work out. I was good at track and it was soooo much fun and now I'm doing track for my school and I find myself skipping conditioning or not wanting to go or something of that sort.
What I'm asking is I really need motivation or a reward or something!! I have the potential to be really good but I have to get started then I'll stick with it but its just the "getting back in shape" and getting started up again since I haven't seriously ran since May. Please any ideas would be great!! I'll rate.

o i know what you mean, im like you as well. There is always something i want to do more, but no one likes something all the time they always will have some struggles continueng. You dont eat only veggies and fruits, but you eat meat, and bread, but no chips. Bread gives u teh carbs which is the energy, and meet is the protein. Two simple miles is a good start, look at an object and sprint there, then walk until you see another object, and continue.

tomorrow i am trying out for my favorite sport TRACK & FIELD!
i am in 7th grade so i have to try out for J.V.

for the try outs i have to run 6 laps around the track under 12 minutes [plus some other things but thats the hardest]. this is going to kill me! im not good at distance running. i do sprints. what if i dont make it? i live for track! is there any way i can get faster? i trying out with one of my best friends. we are the only ones trying out tomorrow becasue everyone else already did. i'm so nervous.


what can i do today till tomorrow at 3:30 to make me do better?
what are some tips for when im running?
anything you want to tell me!


thank you so much this is SO important to me.

Well , theres not much anymore, but do not drink soda, get good rest, maybe take a 2 mile run, which can get boring but its easy. When your running do not take big breaths! Smaller breaths can come out of teh nose, and i used to think closing my eyes helped me, but then i did not know where i was going and that is kind of important, so you may want to think about something different while your runnign.

I know its not the season for track yet but I've been wondering about this for a month or two... but I'm planning on trying out for the track team this year. I'm kind of out of shape so I was wondering what are some exercises I could do to help me get in shape?
Thanks. :)

Endurance work outs, which arent the heavy weights, but doing little things consistently. such as run and place moving your arms up and down fast with 8 pounds weights. If you have a Y or work out facillity, ask them about endurance training or get a trainer and ask him what your focusing on, endurance. You certainly want endurance training over heavy lifting. O and run a fresh good small mile to two

Well id love to meet a girl that loves sports as much as you do and still gets good grades, besides doing all those sports keep you healthy and help you in the future.
