Summary

Tom Schreiber, the man whom most call the best lacrosse player in the world, joins Paul and the podcast on this latest episode of the show. They talk for over an hour and half, discussing a wide range of topics including how Jason Williams and Magic Johnson influence his passing style, why he chose Princeton, and scoring the game-winning goal for Team USA. He also has some bulletin board material for Whipsnakes LC. And to top it all off, Paul and Tom trade stories from the early days of PLL - before the league was officially launched and they were working out of a small, bummed office in New York City. Please rate and review and leave a question you'd like us to ask an athlete on future shows.
