Did you hear the odds of winning the Powerball lottery last week- 500,000,000 to 1. Yet, millions of people flocked to vendors and plunked down their money to challenge the odds.
I have some odds for you that are almost equally daunting:
1. There are ______ slots each year in professional lacrosse.
2. There are _____ slots each year in college lacrosse
__________ D1
___________ D2
____________D3
Total: ________________
3. There are __________ slots in this year's graduating high school class:
4. There are _________ players in youth lacrosse as of
5. ____________ new players join lacrosse programs each year.
It would take a better statistician than I am to tell you your personal odds of becoming a college lacrosse player or a D1 college player. But for sure the odds are about the same as being struck by lightening while sitting in the basement.
So why not give up? -
The answer is that there is one crucial difference between winning the lottery or being struck by lightening - you can improve your odds. The first two are random evens and generally speaking each person has an equal chance of winning (or er.. of losing).
So what are you going to do to change the odds in your favor? Many will see the odds as too long and stop trying and content themselves with recreation , intramural, pickup games, but a few will take a dream, make a plan, follow the plan and find success. If you are one of these we want to hear form you.
We are going to invite your comments - What are YOU going to do to beat the odds? What are you going to do to win the lottery?
When we receive two hundred responses we will pick a plan at random and award a Blue Chip Hoodie ...... and you'll be on your way to winning already. Sit down and think about YOUR plan and let us know!
