I asked my high school lacrosse coach if he needed any help with coaching this year, and he said he'd love it if I came aboard! So come March, I'll be the strength and conditioning coach for the team, as well as freeing up Coach Merc to work with smaller groups as needed during practice. He's the most gifted, inspiring and tough-loving mentors I've ever met, I can't describe how much I grew up under him. A twenty-five year prison guard and police veteran, nineteen years of which he was riot control specialist. That translated to his zero-tolerance policy of any "Mickey Mouse bullshit." This is my senior year, I'm the white boy in the front, Coach Merc on the left. On another note, can you believe that the graduating year for high school freshman is now 2019?
