Throwback Thursday
For today’s Throwback Thursday, I would like to share a great article written by an old teammate of mine – “When the West Views the East” Greg Murray was the captain of the University of Pennsylvania Men’s Lacrosse team when I was a sophomore.

Happy Monday Everybody! When your up against a task or test in life, there are certain requirements that must be met to complete that task or test.

Anxiety in Youth Sports
I read a very interesting New York Times article last night about kids’ developing “Math Anxiety.” The article was titled – “Square Root of Kids’ Math Anxiety: Their Parents’ Help.” Individuals with high math anxiety demonstrate smaller working memory spans and lapses in mathematical development. The big question is, how do kids develop math anxiety?!

This is the question you should be asking every time you leave an organized event. Learning compounds more reliably than winning or the promise of winning does*. Learning is the driving force behind growth, success, and happiness. At FLG, we hope that player’s leave every single one of our events saying, “I got something out of
