Here we are again, did you think we would stop? Nope, just getting started. This is a "mini" episode with current UMass Midfielder/Attacker Cassidy Doster (#16). She's in the midst of senior year fall ball, but when we recorded this episode Cassidy was wrapping up an epic summer in California. Coaching, living the lax dream, and counting down the days until her return to the west coast, Cassidy gives us a taste of current life as a D1 laxer and what her team is hungry for in the year ahead.On this episode we talk about:1. Why California is so great! And Cassidy's take on west coast lax (hint: it's legit).2. The impact lacrosse has had on her, both as an athlete and where it's taken her in life.3. The importance of taking risks and having a lot of fun, but also being safe, where helmets, kids! Oh, we also mention helmets for women's lacrosse.4. Getting recruited from a small town.5. NCAA tournament appearances and a devastating loss to the University of Richmond.6. How her teammates keep each other in check.7. Those dreaded fitness tests every fall.8. Her post grad hopes of a life in California becoming closer to a reality.Grateful to Cass for her energy, love of the game, and for sharing the same nickname. We'll def be cheering #16 this Spring!We want to hear from MORE current women's lacrosse players from any level. If you are interested in an interview, drop me a note.
