It's Our Time Now

It's Our Time Now

      
This is my favorite video at the moment and I think it tells the story perfectly of what it takes to be a female athlete and how far we have come as a community. It's taken hard work, dedication, perseverance, grit, confidence and strength from every single women in the sport of lacrosse to make it known as it is today. This video tells a story of the little girls all around the world who have dreams and aspirations to become like their idols in the future.

Growth by Numbers

Growth In Numbers        This is an infographic that shows the projected growth of lacrosse in the United States. I really liked this infographic because it statistically showed how much the sport really has grown throughout the recent years. It's amazing seeing how far this sport has come in such a short amount of time and it also speaks loud for those who have been a big part of the change in growth. Not only were the women I named in the blog about "The Moment" were a huge part in the change but so many others who's names aren't as known also had a huge part and I want to make sure they are thanked as well because their actions shouldn't go unnoticed.

I was obsessed with the satisfying sounds the net would make when I would shoot the ball, the way it felt to pass and catch the ball, and I will never forget the way the sport brought me and my family so close together. Looking back now, little me would never had believed that women's Lacrosse was going to become a professional sport. Thinking about the little aspiring girls today and how they can now have dreams to play professional lacrosse, it makes me so happy. I am 17 years old and have committed to playing division one Lacrosse at Rutgers University. I started playing the sport competitively in sixth grade and I am now about to...

The Moment

Image
The Moment I chose to include this picture because these are the women that were behind the scenes of the launch of WLL (Women's Lacrosse League). These phenomenal lacrosse players names are Izzy Scane, Lizzie Colson, Charlotte North, and Alex Holman. They weren't the only ones behind the scenes, everyone apart of the women's lacrosse community in a way has contributed to the debut of WLL. Without the constant and continued growth of the sport within women and young girls, the sport wouldn't be where it is today. With the help of all women simply loving the sport of lacrosse and what it brings, new possibilities are endless and now greater than ever.
