Shawn and Zach are teammates at Southern Virginia University Men’s Lacrosse Team. Both have been playing since they were young and truly appreciate all that Lacrosse has done for them and what it means to them. Shawn had an opportunity to work for the Premier Lacrosse League during its inaugural season in 2019 and traveled to every city where the teams played throughout the summer. He interacted with and watched and learned from great players like Trevor Baptiste, Jake Richard and Ned Crotty. Work ethic and level of skill were two things that Shawn will never forget while working for the PLL. Lacrosse created an amazing bond between Zach and his dad. They collectively devoted a ton of time to the game and Zach’s dad would make him do push-ups as punishment which Zach finally realized was only making him stronger and more disciplined as an athlete. Zach admires the way Rob Pannel trains and plays and like Rob works on stick skills and ball handling constantly. Advice from both players “find your passion and attack it.”
