This is probably true. [/quote]

This actually doesn’t mean much. Lacrosse has a high level of coordination in layers. Hand eye on par with baseball. Hand eye in conjunction with physical coordination on the level of hockey, except multiple planes vs mostly on ice passes. Good athletes in other sports quit lacrosse at a high rate in new markets because they’re not used to the learning curve of and patience required for competent stick work. It’s like the dedication required of high end skateboarders.

You could be an elite running back or hockey center or soccer striker and not get over the stick work hump in time. Defenders without stick skills are next to useless in a good conference. Basketball would be the best foundation. Other elements of athleticism come after that, but compound it. A skill freak who’s not fast or super agile could still be a crease attacker. Otherwise your ceiling is ssdm, limited minutes. Even a fogo could be less conventionally athletic but be a skill freak. [/quote]
