On this episode, Travis is joined by three guests that either just played in World Championship events or are about to. It starts with Canada's Dhane Smith, who helped the Canadians win gold at the World Games in Alabama last week. He discusses why winning gold meant so much to the group, losing in the NLL Finals with the Bandits last month, and what the Chaos needs to do to turn it around in the second half of the PLL season. Up next is a fellow Canadian, Emily Boissonneault. She played for Canada's silver medal winning team at the World Lacrosse Women's World Championships, and then won gold with Canada at the World Games in Alabama. Boissonneault talks about what it meant for Canadian women's lacrosse to win that gold medal, and also what it's like still playing on the international stage now as Pitt's head coach. Things finish up with a preview of the U-21 Men's World Championships in Ireland. USA Lacrosse head coach Nick Myers discusses what it has been like waiting two extra years to finally compete in this event, and playing with the pressure of the US being the only country to ever win gold.
