Hi, I’m Ryan, something important about me is that I love sports. I love the adrenaline, the sweat and the heat. Ever since I was a child I loved to play soccer, for me it was like the a wolf howling at a glowing moon. I’d played for the silver team as a goaltender and I was great at it. After playing for about 8 years I began to get tired of the sport, so at the age of 14 I decided I would take on a new sport, a new hobby; lacrosse. Problem was that there were no beginner teams for lacrosse u15, so I decided it would be in my best interest to try u14. Normally a fourteen year old would be able to play for a thirteen year old team, but because of my size weight, and since it was my first year, the association let it slide. It’s been nice so far, I scored my first goal, and got a bunch of assists, I was liking it much better then soccer. In a lacrosse game you can smell the stench of sweat in the bench, and see all the sweat on their faces. The mouth guard makes you gag at first but then you get used to its plain taste. You can hear the swearing in the arena and the coaches getting angry. The feeling when the ball hits he head of your stick, and gets released into the net. Or the feeling when you get hit and full of even more adrenaline. Soccer just didn’t give me this kind of amazing adrenaline, it was just unbearably slow-going. My little 8 year old brother I also joining lacrosse next year, he isn’t quitting soccer but I cannot wait until he gets into his first pumped up lacrosse game and experiences it first-hand.
