Mudding, missed passes and mismatched threads with PLL All-Star Myles Jones.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

An astronaut. Something about space really intrigued me as a kid.

If you owned a boat, what would you name it?

Sea Senorita.

What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?

Any of my outdoor activities: riding ATVs in Puerto Rico, deserts in Arizona or mudding in Alabama.

What was your proudest moment on the lacrosse field?

Winning a national championship at Duke in 2013 and 2014.

Most embarrassing moment?

The first possession of my first professional game, I received a pass in front of our bench, took my eye off the ball and completely missed it.

What’s one thing you can’t live without?

Uncrustables.

What animal best describes your style of play?

Centaur (laughs).

What’s the biggest obstacle you’ve overcome in life or lacrosse?

Playing in the spotlight and understanding that with that attention, people will have opinions about your performance. The quicker you can let go of the opinions of others, the better off you’ll be.

What will you say when you meet your maker?

Thank you for this smile. It has gotten me out of trouble a few times in my life.

What childish things do you still do as an adult?

Wear mismatched clothing on purpose.

If you were the Eighth Dwarf, what would your name be?

Drippy.

Overtime (from Megan Douty):

What would be your dream job or profession (besides lacrosse)?

My dream job would definitely be an astronaut like I hoped as a kid.

Double Overtime  (from @the_swan365)

What’s your favorite pump-up song?

Future’s “Stick Talk” or Travis Scott’s “Franchise.”

Pose a question for our next subject.

If you couldn’t play lacrosse tomorrow, what does life look like for you?
