UNM Lobos Lacrosse

We had a busy Spring with Lacrosse. John is the Head Coach of the University of New Mexico Lacrosse team, a position he volunteered for more than 13 years ago when we first moved to New Mexico. John actually helped start up the team at UNM back then.
Additionally, John has played Lacrosse most of his life in High School and in College. And he has coached since we've been married...going on 17 years now.
Jackson seems to be following in his Daddy's footsteps, too. Sadly, Jeremiah lost his love of lacrosse due to the March 14,2005 accident, though, and he is quite bitter about it and the way that our family was treated by his Daddy's former university afterwards. But I digress.

John is enjoying his involvement with the UNM Lobos Lax team this year, and he also has some wonderful support from an assistant coach and the team captains. The team has already played several good games with some very competitive teams.

Jax, ever the technical engineer, helped put together and set up the lacrosse goals.

Ever since John's TBI caused by the March 14, 2005 accident and John's subsequent brain surgery, he still has a very difficult time keeping track of details and anything that requires his short term memory. So, he uses lots of notes and a mini- tape recorder, as well as the support from his assistant coach and players.

Jackson took this unique photo. He wanted to portray the heat of the day and the tiredness of the players. I'm pretty impressed with his view and portrayal of the subject matter.
