The 99% Journey & Building Real Confidence As A Player
Lacrosse
Deemer Class and Matt Dunn discuss the season’s increased parity in men’s and women’s college lacrosse, noting nontraditional top teams like Richmond, Harvard, Stanford, and Navy, and highlighting Northwestern’s overtime win at UNC that ended a 31-game streak, plus an upcoming Notre Dame–Richmond broadcast. They touch on how hard it is to watch games across fragmented streaming platforms and the idea of building an at-home “command center.” The conversation shifts to the overlooked “99%” of players, emphasizing sacrifices, process over outcomes, and lasting value from lessons and relationships even without elite accolades. They address today’s youth sports landscape—club expansion, private equity, and fewer rec options—urging families to avoid overcommitting and to value varied roles and local play. Dunn outlines a confidence framework (preparation minus attachment to results), reframing nerves as normal and trainable through mental skills.
