Who was the first person to put a stick in your hand?

Tonight 4 FLG players put a stick in the hands of 20 boys and girls for the first time! They educated players on the art of cradling, scooping, throwing, and shooting the lacrosse ball.

If this great game has given a lot to you, make it a point to give back to it.

Continue to give.

Don’t worry about getting back.

Lacrosse Recruits, a company that publishes recruiting profiles and helps college coaches find and follow the recruits they’re looking for quickly and easily, is teaming up with FLG to bring you a series of podcasts that are not to be missed. During sports-style interviews, Mike and Corey give studletes and their parents an insider’s look at both the game of lacrosse and the end game: getting recruited by the right college.

Who are Mike and Corey? They are FLG’s own father/son team. Mike Winkoff is a father, coach and businessman.  Corey is Mike’s son, an athlete, graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and FLG’s program director. During these spirited podcasts, father and son bring their passion for the sport to hot topics that impact today’s young athletes. The duo hands out straight talk and down-to-earth advice on the recruiting process, the sport and what it takes to be a real winner at life.

Mike and Corey field some tough questions. Their answers give insight on:  whether it’s better to wait for the best fit when it comes to choosing a college or jump on the bandwagon early, how to impress coaches, why to build an online profile for college recruiters to tap into, plus many topics that transcend the world of youth sports.

Meanwhile, Corey’s dad, a former coach and FLG lacrosse club owner, talks about the tremendous stress families with teenage athletes experience when it comes to college decision making:

“The pressure put on these kids, being recruited so young, is unfortunate. If it was up to myself and Corey, they would only recruit rising seniors. But we can’t change that landscape. So what we have to do is tell parents and help them realize. We once had a player get 11 DI offers his rising senior year. So there is always opportunity. At the end of the day, the kid who commits later is in a better spot. They are finding the right fit. An eighth or ninth grader cannot find the right fit. They are just trying to figure out where their homeroom is located.”

The interview series is hosted by Lacrosse Recruits, a division of Sports Recruits, which operates an exclusive software platform that allows players to manage and execute the best recruiting process (www.sportsrecruits.com).
