The Legit Boys Experience
At the FLG Legit Showcase, players get more than great exposure to some of the best college coaches in the country. Players get an opportunity to receive great coaching, receive recognition for their outstanding play, develop character, leadership, and understand what it means to be ‘LEGIT.’ Throughout the Legit Boys Showcase, players are awarded decals. To learn more about what these decals represent, read below.
Wear 19 Decal 
FLG Lacrosse started the Wear 19 Campaign to honor an American Hero, Welles Remy Crowther. Welles (#19) played lacrosse and graduated from Boston College. After graduating, Welles took a job in the World Trade Center as an equities trader. During the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, Welles didn’t make it out alive. Wearing a red bandana over his face to prevent smoke inhalation, Welles successfully rescued over a dozen employees working in the South Tower. During the last couple minutes of his life, he sacrificed for the sake of others. Welles was a courageous, intelligent, selfless, well-raised young man. In the FLG Program, we award an FLG jersey with a Red 19 to 1-boy and 1-girl who best exemplifies the characteristics of Welles Crowther. At the FLG Legit Showcase, we will award a Red 19 decal to player’s that exemplify what Welles was all about. Will you Wear19?
JS Decal
JS stands for Jack Sandler. Jack was the Head Coach for Colby College, a true lacrosse enthusiast, and a great friend to many in the lacrosse community. Jack passed away this past year at just 35 years old. Joe Allen, who started HeadWrapz (the original helmet decal company, supplying decals for the Legit Showcase) said, “Jack loved the game of lacrosse. His true passion was teach and help students develop their full potential.” For those of you that don’t know, FLG stands for ‘For the Love of the Game.’ Our mission aligns with Jack’s. FLG wants to help players reach their full potential while maintaining a passion for this great game. Players at the Legit Showcase that play the game with passion and demonstrate a thirst for developing as a studlete, can earn a JS decal for their helmet.
Star Decal
On the second night of the Legit Boys Showcase, we will be having 2 all-star games. The first of the two games will be the top 50 rising juniors and seniors at the event. The second all-star game will host the top 50 rising freshman and sophomores at the event. All-star teams are selected by the college coaches working the event. College coaches will discuss all-star selections together in our Deliberation Room at LIU post. All 50 coaches working the Legit Boys Showcase will be sitting on the sidelines of the All-star game. Both all-star games will be commentated – with player announcements, highlights, half-time recaps, and much more. The best part of the all-star games is we get everyone at the camp involved. FLG supplies Chipotle burritos during the all-star games for all players at the Legit Boys Showcase. If you earn the right to play in an all-star game, you will be awarded a Star Decal for your custom Cascade helmet. Are you one of the best?
LEGIT Decal
Each team at the Legit Boys Showcase, will be supplied with a sheet of LEGIT Decals. Throughout the event, coaches will award players who make legit lacrosse plays on the field. Below are some ways players have earned LEGIT decals in the past: Earn the most ground ball for your team in a game. Be the loudest communicator on the defensive end of the field. Work just as hard in the riding game as you do when your team has possession. When your coaches instruct you to do something and you execute that teaching point on the next play. If you notice, LEGIT stickers aren’t just for the players who score the most goals or make the most saves. LEGIT plays require players to showcase their intangible assets and demonstrate improvement, leadership, and heart. Are you LEGIT?

NBA Christmas Special
Things to watch during the second half of tonight’s Cav’s Warriors game.
1. Steph Curry fighting through his ankle injury. Doing whatever he can to make sure he plays. Making the crowd seem as though nothing is wrong.
2. Kyrie Irving coming off picks. He’s got the quickest first step in the game. When a teammate comes with a pick, Kyrie is guaranteed to get a step on his man and get to the hole.
3. Lebron James driving to the hoop. He makes defenders fear him, foul him, our get out of the way from him.
4. Matthew Dellavenova playing defense. He always has his hands on his man, wants the ball more than any guy on the court, plays the game with fire and enthusiasm.
5. Golden State play 5-man offense. Watch the fluidity with which they pass the ball, work as a unit, and generate high percentage shots consistently.
Enjoy some of the best athletes in the world compete on 1 stage. Happy Holidays.

What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of? Tough question, I know. Let’s start by hearing what I’m afraid of:
Bugs.
Rodents.
Scary movies.
Sleeping home alone.
My dreams. Especially ones that are realistic.
Public speaking.
Talking to people I don’t know very well on the telephone.
What other people think of me.
Failure.
Concussions.
People thinking I’m not tough.
People thinking I’m not cool.
People thinking I’m not smart.

Fear is a response that’s intended to save our life. To protect human kind. A signal that allows us to take action, survive.
Today, fear continues to protect us. However, if you aren’t faced with a life or death situation, fear can cripple us, make us stale, make us static. Those who see fear as opportunity, will continue to get stronger, better, more well-rounded, and less fearful.
Ask yourself, what are you afraid of? Write it down and go do it.
What won’t kill you, will only make you stronger.

Why make things more difficult?
Here’s some reasons we think people makes things more difficult than they should be.
You have too much free time. People who make things more difficult have more time to spend, or in this case – waste. Don’t use your free time by wasting time. Get it done. Move on. Keep going.
You don’t want it too end. If you’re working on a project and are really enjoying it, most people would rather stay with that task. They find round-about routes to getting things complete and mosey through the process. Instead, complete it to the best of you ability and move on. You will come across fun projects again in the future!
You don’t want to ask questions. Those who choose to figure everything out on their own, will end-up spending more time than necessary. Don’t be afraid to reach out, ask for help, or ask (what you think might be) the silly questions.
