Although this is a very physical sport (I don't know which sport isn't), I have always find it as my favorite. I played as a goalie when I was in Canada, and the first time that I held a crosse, i knew that this is my game. It is both a physical and a mental game, since you have to outmaneuver your opponent in order to score and of course, to keep them from scoring. I admit that lacrosse in Canada is different, since it is less physical and lacrosse in Canada is considered in indoor game, very much like hockey. But then that's just fine with me, I don't care if I play it inside, in a faux grass carpet or outside in bare concrete. What's important is I am in my element whenever I play lacrosse. Lacrosse exercises not only the body but the mind as well. It's good lacrosse is one of the sports in CAL's IM program.
