Summary

Eleven. That’s the number of points that Will Manny scored against Atlas in Philadelphia, setting the record for most points in a PLL game. The Long Island native talks about being underrecruited in high school, getting cut from Team USA and why he started to play loose at the end of the season. Manny, who is now an Assistant Coach for Utah, was interviewed shortly after the Utes had their season cut short by coronavirus. He talks about dealing with the new reality, how he’s using his time heading into the summer and his longterm lacrosse career goals. Fun fact? Manny reveals that Paul assisted his first career professional goal. Please rate, review and leave a question that you would like us to ask an athlete on future shows.
