Preparing for Thanksgiving Break

As a Mercyhurst lacrosse player, this week is a dynamic balance between my academics and off-season training. This week, I have had the opportunity to allow my free time to prepare for my upcoming finals. Understanding the balance between school, practice, and training requires a lot of discipline and understanding of time management. The discipline and time management shaped me into a student and athlete at Mercyhurst.

Being a student-athlete has allowed me to develop many essential skills relayed in the classroom and on the lacrosse field. In the classroom, I have absorbed many lessons that extend beyond the lacrosse field. Interacting with my classmates has allowed me to create great relationships with them and be here for my teammates while understanding the importance of communication with them in the locker room and on the lacrosse field.

Preparing for practice correlates to my preparation to finish this semester off strong and carry on the responsibility of being a student-athlete here at Mercyhurst University.

For us, it was more than just a game; it marked the end of fall ball, the culmination of months of hard work, and a chance for us to put all of the pieces together from this fall. The trip to Nazareth University was a refreshing change of pace from our usual routine this fall. Our bus was filled with anticipation, preparation, and excitement. The journey was not just about covering miles but an opportunity to bond as a team as the wheels turned to Pittsford, New York. Road trips are an excellent time for us as a team to connect through sharing stories, exchanging jokes, and creating memories that will last forever for us all. As we arrived at Nazareth University, we were greeted with a beautiful campus made out of old brick. The Nazareth Men's Lacrosse team showed us grea...
