[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had 3 boys go through the club scene is this area (youngest is now a senior). Between the 3 of them, they have played at some point or another for BLC, NL, ML and DCE.

One person's opinion, don't bother w Madlax. CM is not interested in building competitive clubs with a positive/teaching culture that develops boys into better lacrosse players. He is more interested in his media/streaming vertical and his events vertical.

I get it too...the real money is in the events. Smart business guy. Just not a teacher or leader of a team.[/quote]

Not been our experience. Lots of opportunities to get better, good coaches,  great practice fields and great tourneys. Not all clubs in area can say that. We were at one other local club and the staffing and infrastructure was non existent. And coaching was inconsistent and filled with drama. I won’t say which one because want to avoid the bashing.

I will say that these kind of posts about CM really pick up during tryout season.  Interesting.

Both of these statements can be true. Look, you can argue whatever you want but CM's personality and reputation are well known in the industry. Some of his personality likely is a reason for his and ML's success. Some parents will be completely fine with his abrasive style (like the ML youth mom I saw at our kids game this weekend where even her husband said out loud "you are starting to turn into that mom"). Other people will deal with it for a little bit or understand that it is a two way street (like my old college roommate's whose son played for ML and eventually earned a scholarship) others will be turned off.

There is also a strong possibility that there is more revenue in the events side of youth lax and said events don't rely on his interaction with parents that might dissuade them from signing there kid up.
