my son got an invite to Jake Reed but since he is only 14, can't drive and has no money he can't go. I bet "he" wished "we" got the invite so my wife and I could take him and pay for it
No need to justify. I hope to be a "WE" next year.
The MEN who are commenting are JEALOUS because their sons were not invited.
That is because they were probably lousy lax players in HS who were bullies, the real kind. They grew up, got married had kids and had hoped their sons would do better.
Only thing is: KARMA got them.
Remember, YOU are making memories with your son which is more than these guys.
Good Luck to you all. A Lax Mom
I agree, people on here pick apart posts way too much. Who cares he vs we, too vs two. I mean is that really the bone you are on here to pick? Jealousy is very unbecoming.
But pompous self promotion is grand.
Your hubris is amazing. If its not about you or your child, you put others down for speaking about their child's success. Its as if they were putting a billboard on the side of the highway with a photo and name. There is no name attached so there is no benefit to the person posting.
To those parents raising their sons to be men of character, my hat is off to you. My son will be there standing with them proudly, in unity, facing the challenges ahead of them. If the biggest obstacle they must overcome in their young lives is the question of attending JR or a showcase the same week, GOD BLESS.
To the disgruntled lot of you.............
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
Get a grip! Fairly sure TR wasn't talking about anything remotely resembling travel lacrosse. Get over yourself already!
