Spring Break?

What are you doing for Spring Break? If your answer doesn't include "and lots of wall ball", consider it wrong! This is a great time to work on your stick stringing skills since most teams have the weekend off. I'm getting ready to schedule some team wall ball/pizza party nights to keep everyone excited about lax! So far my club has gotten off to a great start and I want to keep that momentum going for as long as we can. This is also a great time to work on your off handed stick skills! Remember, it's perfectly fine to use a tennis ball for wall ball if your parents complain about the constant thud, thud thud. In fact, the Ohio State mens team ONLY uses tennis balls for wall ball. Because of the weight difference, it forces your to develop softer hands which will take your game to the next level! When I hit the wall, I start with about 15 minutes of dominant hand work and then do 15 minutes of non dominant hand work(sometimes it gets ugly). After that I work on just my top hand and just my bottom hand for 10 minutes each and then do it for my non dominant side. I know guys like Paul Rabil at least double my efforts on the wall and if you want his skills then you have to have his work ethic. Spring Break is a great time to show your lax dedication to your team mates and your coaches. We can tell when someone is putting in a solid effort on the wall. With all of the distractions of a break from school it's easy to lose focus and it's important that we don't lose our competitive edge! I'll see you on the wall!
