[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these stereotypes are outdated. If you look at major college rosters, players on the teams are extremely athletic ie UVA's starting defense went 6-5, 6-6, 6-7, with the 6-7 guy being the fastest on the team. Rosters are no longer stocked with kids from hot bed areas, but pull kids from Tx, FL, GA and Canada.

What that means in today's world is that kids who once might have played D1 are now playing on D3 teams as they get replaced by guys with elite athleticism. But a hallmark for being a reasonably high level player ie HS and beyond is that hasn't changed is you need to be a good athlete, with the great thing being all manner of athletes (big/small/slow/fast) can excel.

Another false notion is that lacrosse parents are worse than any other youth sports parents. Lacrosse hasn't cornered the market for abhorrent parental behavior, with plenty of that to go around in every sport. [/quote]

Lots of truth to the post but interesting someone recently dug up a post started in 2010.  I will say that there have always been athletes in lacrosse.  This is not a "new" thing.  ND best football player is also a great lax player on the team but the best player on the ND team and best player in college lacrosse this season is maybe 5 foot 8 on a good day.  The key is that they are all athletic but height and weight is not always an indicator of "athletic."[/quote]
