Jim Brown Lacrosse Quotes
I was just a big guy running down with a big, deep pocket and a little short stick putting it against my chest.
I could fully express myself in lacrosse.
…you could be the best team or the best player in different generations, and people respect each other. Nobody cares about who was the best.
Lacrosse is probably the best sport I ever played.
I could run 200 yards at a stretch. I could duck between players. And, I felt free to make plays that suited me best. It wasn’t like football then and basketball today, where coaches tell you what foot to put down.
There was no publicity. You had to like it. There was no pressure, just great competition. The attitude of the coaches and players was exceptional.
I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school. Then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had the strength, and I was in good condition.
Note: Football great Jim Brown was also a legendary lacrosse player. Read more on Jim Brown.

Dana Czapnik Quotations on Lacrosse
The goalie. Lacrosse’s unsung hero. Keeper of the net. Last line of defense. A player whose contribution never shows up on the scoreboard at the end of a game but whose efforts may have determined the outcome. They say there is a personality-a “type”- that tends to choose the same position on the field.
Attackers like the limelight. Defenders crave the physicality—midfielders like a sampling of both. And goalies only function with the weight of the world on their shoulders. After all, goalies are people who voluntarily put themselves in the line of fire. And the good ones never flinch.
Gary Gait Lacrosse Sayings
Twenty years ago, people thought they were fishing nets and all sorts of things when you brought out a lacrosse stick. Now almost everywhere you go, people have heard of it, they’ve seen it, and they’re like, “Oh, that’s the sport I saw on TV, or my grandson plays that,” and it’s changed the face of the game and potential of the future.
We’re doing our homework to make sure we’re prepared.
Bill Tierney Quotes
If I was US Lacrosse, I wouldn’t let any kids play field until they were 10 or 12.
In lacrosse, you fear not for yourself, but for the one who feels he will triumph over you. I believe that box lacrosse gives young people many more opportunities to excel in our game.
He brings the offensive game of lacrosse to a more cerebral level.
Until box lacrosse grows in the United States, it’ll continue to be this way.
I believe that box lacrosse gives young people many more opportunities to excel in our game. If I had my choice, I would have every player under the age of twelve play box lacrosse exclusively or at least a majority of the time. The number of touches of the ball and the ability to develop better stick skills in a game of box lacrosse, far surpasses what happens to young people on a 110 x 60-yard field.
Learning how to pass and catch in traffic, understanding how to shoot, and developing a sense of physicality are all positive traits developed by the box game.
Oren Lyons
Although we are in different boats you in your boat and we in our canoe we share the same river of life.

Note: Lacrosse is a team sport played with a lacrosse ball, two nets, and each player holding sticks.

People are always going to criticize your game. Initially, the number is going to help you get on the field a little bit more. People are going to notice you – it brings a lot of exposure. He’ll have a target on his chest, and it’s going to make him a better player. But lacrosse is lacrosse. It doesn’t matter what number you are wearing on your chest.
Michael Powell
Being a part of the finesse and physicality of box lacrosse has been a great experience for me. I feel that I have learned and improved as an overall lacrosse player. Learning to adapt in tight spaces while reading defenders and offensive players has been the biggest improvement in my game.
