What It Takes to Be a Pro Lacrosse Player

By Kaitlyn Duling

Book Overview

Pro lacrosse players don't earn big salaries. They don't become famous. Most have day jobs to earn a living. So why do they do it? Because they love the game. This book is a frank and fascinating look at what it takes to play pro lacrosse, from starting young to building skills, training hard, and being fit and agile on the field. Chapters cover the history of the game, a day in the life of a pro lacrosse player, women and girls in lacrosse (it's not just a men's sport), and playing like a champion. Each chapter features attention-grabbing photos and examples from the lives of well-known athletes. A Fun Facts section includes more facts, plus anecdotes and lore unique to the fastest game on two feet.
