Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. Keeping the conversation going. The Maryland women’s lacrosse team issued a statement against racial injustice June 11 in the wake of George Floyd’s death. But they were committed to action. 

“We didn’t want it to end in a book club and over the summer,” senior goalie Madison Hine said. “We wanted to do something to create change.”

2. US Lacrosse hosted the Athlete Mindset Series, a weekly journey into specific aspects of sports psychology, which impact athletes on and off the field. The webinars focused on providing actionable resources for athletes and those who support them, writes Lauren Davenport, the manager of athlete development for US Lacrosse. 

Here are the takeaways from the series. 

3. Government restrictions across the country limiting public field access has required some to creative options. In the case of Rockingham Lacrosse Club, that included making their own “Field of Dreams.”
