Good times, rough seasons, life goes on...

Well the season is over and so is my son's high school lacrosse experience.  It was a tough season to say the least.  They went 5-11 and many of the seniors had limited playing time.  I can say that my son learned to cope in adverse situations and to stand up for himself.  After all, this is life.  Sometimes situations don't go in your favor and you have to "suck it up" and keep moving forward.  He has really grown up this year and although he had a rough lacrosse season, he has matured into a thoughtful, respectful young man.  There's a silver lining in everything.

As a parent, it was heart-breaking.  I must say that it was difficult for most of us on the sidelines.  With those feelings in mind, I decided to look at all the good that has taken place for Christian and his teammates over the years.  I have hundreds of photos that I have put into a video for them.  It highlights their days in junior lacrosse, summer lacrosse, and high school.  No matter what the stats reveal, this video shows the heart of the game and the hearts of these players.  They will all go on to do great things.  A special thanks to "A Tribe Called Red" whose music is the soundtrack for this short video.  Their incredible beats and use of authentic Native American chants and rhythms was perfect to showcase  The Creator's Game. Enjoy.
