great sport, physicality of football, the endurance and stamina of soccer, the hand skills and speed of hockey, the man and zone defenses- picks and footwork of basketball...all blended together.
Lacrosse has an awesome history. it was initially played by North American Indians (in Canada) and it was a super violent and awesome sport without any safety rules. The game was meant to be symbolic of warfare and games would last for days without stopping! It was created to be brutal and intense, and to this day it's one of the most hardcore sports being played. I currently go to school in San Diego and you don't find many Lacrosse teams here but it is definitely gaining popularity.
This video inspired me. Im in my third year of lacrosse, and ill be playing on my junior varsity team. in my first two years of lacrosse i hadnt scored a goal and i was playing at attack. I was thinking of quitting but my dad showed me this video and that week I scored 4 goals for my team in one game. When i played that game i kept thinking of how hard these guys work and how they always give it there all. So im still playing lax today and i plan to take it to college thanks to u guys. Thank you
And I also want to see people tell me that swinging a baseball bat and running to second is harder than running down field in a full sprint and being able to catch a pass with the stick and then dodging defensemen, who have every reason to bash your head inand take the ball from you, and then make it close enough so that you can rip the ball at 100+ mph at goalie in hopes that you nailed a shot good enough that it slides past their stick. Or dump it off to an attack in a situation where defense overwhelms you and you can't slide by. Lax is hard, its brutal, you have to literally plan and act on the fly, no time for second thoughts.
Pal, looking for sport where you get beaten trying to score a goal but without any equipment then try handball (not that pussy sport where you bang the ball against the wall) not this Harry Potter sport :)
Stjepan Čolak Why would there be a need for pads in handball anyway? If that's the most physical sport you'll have then all the sports are pussy sports compared to football or lacrosse. And I'm guessing you play soccer. LOL.
Anybody else realize that the two best lax videos on youtube (this and the Tufts Road to The Championship) were produced by Drew Innis? SOMEONE GET THIS KID A JOB!
so anyone talking shit about this is in a top 20 d1 lacrosse team? this video is awesome and shows the commitment it takes to play at that level. harvard might not have made it to championship weekend, yet, but their still putting in the time it takes to be there.
if you edited in some talking over the games, weight lifting, stuff like that this video would be 100X better, it just feels like a highlight video without a voice overs
Although this isn't the toughest school in the U.S. (that would go to MIT,CalTech, or Cal) it definitely is a very rigorous school. Assumptions are made that it is the hardest school because it is ranked first in the nation.
It's not a matter of how good the team is, it's the fact that these guys are getting an Ivy League education while playing a sport they love. No other school besides the other Ivy League's can compare to that.
As a hurler I love sports like this and the boys train hard but not one black face. Crazy country great if your white and loaded.... Good video though....
Amazing video, you should do this as a job man, was this for a project or just enjoyment and im from uk and played lacrosse a few time its great dport but you made it look awesome well done man cool skills
the distance between ivy league and community college is not smarts but skill and effort. however if you want D1 lacrosse you better have sickass skill too
Yes it definitely takes more skill to watch a ball and then hit it ten it does to cradle, juke etc and keep your head up to pass and shoot @killzone904
Lacrosse is probably the mot enduring and "hardcore" sport there is. Well besides rugby but I think baseball players have nothing on lacrosse... baseball is a sport but that's just easy.
this is queerer than a 3 dollar bill. Harvard consistently gets the top recruits but cannot seem to win. They need to make one about the Men of the Yale Lacrosse Barnyard
haha say that to dan uggla, ryan braun, or bo jackson probably the greatest athlete of all time. yeah there are some fat baseball players, but trust me almost all baseball players especially pitchers are in the same or better shape than lacrosse players. why would the greatest basketball player of all time retire from his prime to play baseball? there are good athletes in every sport you cant stereotype based on your biased opinion
lacrosse might take more skill than rec baseball but once you get past that it becomes the hardest sport in the world, i want to see you try and hit a round ball with a round bat, both 2.5in in diameter, going 95 mph which means it takes .4 seconds to go 60 feet and the batter has .15 seconds to decide to swing or not, but in most cases the pitcher releases the ball 53ft away from the player meaning the batter has about .35 seconds to react. look up brendan ryan highlights and tell me thats easy
They're two completely different sports. Baseball requires tremendous talent and players body composition effects their role on the team. A DH (who's fat shit) is used to drive in runs when lead of hitters get on base (Their role). Baseball is a very mental game and its also strategic. I used to play lacrosse and I don't dislike the game but a lot of the players are cocky fucks and some baseball players are too.
I respect both sports but this video would litterally be the same for any college sports program whether it be lacrosse, soccer, football, baseball, anything really. One argument I do stand strong by is that it takes a tremendous amount of talent to play baseball, much more so than lacrosse. While lacrosse is much more physically demanding, baseball players are usually some of the greatest athletes in the sport programs
I play college lacrosse and i will say I've met better athletes that play football and basketball, but there are great and athletes in every sport stop bitching whose is better i also play softball during the summer so much respect to third basemen and short stops getting line drives flying at there face. Respect the time and work d1 athletes put into their craft no matter what it is.
I don't see why your trying to act like that's a shortcoming for football players....each sport entails a different requirement for athletic abilities. Sure football players may not be able to run as long as you guys, but they have way more power than you guys do. And just like you guys for the most part have more endurance. It's not that one is better than the other, so when you lax "bros" say you would "wipe the floor with fb plyers" that sounds stupid.
I was an AT major, I spent an entire season watching men's lacrosse and working with athletes....I know you guys' capabilities and yes there is hitting in Lacrosse, but don't sit there and act like the hitting is anywhere near football. And when you say that couldn't keep up with lax players that's the most ignorant comment ever, depends on which position your talking about. Yea, if your going to take an LB or DT sure, but guys like Chris Johnson and Desean Jackson would smoke any lax player.
not 10x harder, but hockey is a harder sport to grasp than FIELD lacrosse. BOX lacrosse on the other hand is a whole different story. Box lacrosse is a much more skilled game than field lacrosse, and it is much harder of a game to learn than field lacrosse as well as hockey. BOX lax is also more aggressive than hockey and way more aggressive than field. Thats why i dont play field. Fields boring to me. I love both box lax and hockey tho and i play both. Great sports
i'd like to see you successfully catch a ball going 60+ while running and then dodging through 5 guys hammering you with sticks and then shoot a 110 mph shot
no but i think they would want their athletic programs to succeed at a very high level, plus kids at duke, stanford, and vanderbilt probably have 33-35 act scores considering the acceptance rate of those programs. what im trying to say is that even though schools are very highly rated academically kids should still work on more than academics
in fact u are wrong. i said u hit a ball and run bases in baseball. in lax u faceoff make logical passes score goals etc. also if ur a goalie try catching an upto 111 mph ball being thrown at you. and you say try to hit a 95mph fastball well sir you dont hit 95mph fastballs beacause your probbobally 5 years old
I have seen this video millions of times, it is still one of my favorites.
great sport, physicality of football, the endurance and stamina of soccer, the hand skills and speed of hockey, the man and zone defenses- picks and footwork of basketball...all blended together.
i think lax needs way more exposure
True that
8 yrs later still needs more exposure. Idk what it will take but ive stopped caring about that, all i care about is a great fcking game.
how come they don't show them cheating on tests or anything
What?
Maybe because they play for Harvard idiot.
hahahhahaah
These guys are the perfect example of a Student-Athlete
Was 1:15 really necessary? haha.
Hey look it's me
that was an ugly power clean

ayee I'm from s.d but I play varsity lax lol.
Actually it wasnt just played by Native Americans in Canada so you are wrong
i dont really knpow why i clicked on this video, but im happy i did. excellently made. wowza
This video inspired me. Im in my third year of lacrosse, and ill be playing on my junior varsity team. in my first two years of lacrosse i hadnt scored a goal and i was playing at attack.

Pal, looking for sport where you get beaten trying to score a goal but without any equipment then try handball (not that pussy sport where you bang the ball against the wall) not this Harry Potter sport :)
*****
Where was it born? In 'merica
***** Lacrosse is actually American... lol you guys have Curling and Hockey I think.
Christian Samaniego it was made in canada smart one...
Stjepan Čolak Why would there be a need for pads in handball anyway? If that's the most physical sport you'll have then all the sports are pussy sports compared to football or lacrosse. And I'm guessing you play soccer. LOL.
I've watched this like 5 times in the past year
+ice lacrosse I watch this on the bus ride to away games. But really, this video is amazing.
never understood lacrosse... understand now
Hands down best lacrosse video on UA-cam the creator deserves a Grammy
stop, ultimate lax bro is the best lax video on youtube.
harvard is an awesome school and awesome lacrosse team
Anybody else realize that the two best lax videos on youtube (this and the Tufts Road to The Championship) were produced by Drew Innis? SOMEONE GET THIS KID A JOB!
Only if lacrosse was really this dramatic lmao
Depends how much you actually take it serious
^ Pretty sure no matter how serious you take lacrosse, there won't be piano music following you around bro ;)
so anyone talking shit about this is in a top 20 d1 lacrosse team? this video is awesome and shows the commitment it takes to play at that level. harvard might not have made it to championship weekend, yet, but their still putting in the time it takes to be there.
bro do you have an instagram or something i want to get your name out there this film was so well put together
I wanna play lacrosse so bad! I'm a junior and have been playing baseball all my life but lacrosse looks so much fun!
if their lacrosse was half as good as this video, they would win the title every year.
I have literally added at least 50 of these views since it has been uploaded. My favorite video on youtube
this inspires me to never give up
Wow, they run faster in slow motion than I do in real life. Can't tell if that's sad on my part or awesome on theirs. Or, you know.... both.
Based on how Harvard did this year, this video is their highlight of the season.
This video is awesome and inspiring it gets me so pumped up for lax.
if you edited in some talking over the games, weight lifting, stuff like that this video would be 100X better, it just feels like a highlight video without a voice overs
Killer soundtrack!
I actually go to Cornell ahah. Tough couple losses for you guys this year. Losing Rob really hurt. Always next year.
Drew Innis, bravo.
This video should have so many more views than it does right now...
Although this isn't the toughest school in the U.S. (that would go to MIT,CalTech, or Cal) it definitely is a very rigorous school. Assumptions are made that it is the hardest school because it is ranked first in the nation.
Wonder what jayz has to say about this
Lol
Great film! Keep the sports docs coming!
It's not a matter of how good the team is, it's the fact that these guys are getting an Ivy League education while playing a sport they love. No other school besides the other Ivy League's can compare to that.
10:12 that dudes going full Goku with those pushups.
it's a brilliant video. i actually watched the entire thing. it's just too bad that they never do that well.
I love watching these i wanna play college lacrosse
Masterpiece
Amazing video! TThe end got me JACKED!
Vineyard Vines sweat shirt at the beginning, Total Laxer Move
DAMN SOLID HANG CLEAN 10:45. DEBATABLE SHADOW BOXING 18:25
This came out in 2012, I found it in 2016, and I still watch it at least once every couple months. This video is so well done.
Awesome edit.
i watch this b4 every lax game!!!
Why is this getting so much hate?
great film keep em coming!
Fantastic Video!
Favorite video of all time. It's my dream to go to Harvard.
Lacrosse- for the guys who just didn't make the cut for Football tryouts.
Hopefully I make varsity
Jared Rule did u make varsity
Jared did you make make varsity we need to know
Jared plz tell us
Jared I’m dying from suspense you gotta let me know
this is so well edited
I didn't even realize it but at a recruiting camp I met and befriended 3 of the Harvard players
Great job on the vid!!!
As a hurler I love sports like this and the boys train hard but not one black face. Crazy country great if your white and loaded.... Good video though....
You want a good laugh? Watch this entire video, start to feel motivated, then go look up their record and winning pct for last year.
great documentary!
um
Hello
The simplest answer would be, he is a fan not a player. Insulting these men is insulting the best of humanity.
i wish my team would go as hard as these guys in practice
this one is pretty sick, but go watch the Tufts Lacrosse Documentary
Damn talk about a motivating video
Theres a really good lacrosse gopro video called New dorp lacrosse . U guys should check it out
woulda been better if they gave my man jason ganos some more facetime
Amazing video, you should do this as a job man, was this for a project or just enjoyment and im from uk and played lacrosse a few time its great dport but you made it look awesome well done man cool skills
I wish i had a motivated speaker to pump me up before every game
Lol dude any of the 5 service academies (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Merchant Marine) are MUCH tougher than Harvard University.
Nice 6-8 record this year
Great video can you do one of the Harvard hockey team please?
That power clean form was fuckin awful
respect
ahhahaahah and those guys playin baseball are still riding home in there car dancing to call me maybe
terrible power clean form lol
What is this shot on? Also, what color correction techniques did you use to get that look?
the distance between ivy league and community college is not smarts but skill and effort. however if you want D1 lacrosse you better have sickass skill too
you might've power cleaned 235 but you did not hang clean 235 as a junior
Thats exactly how I am after games and I don't do that good lol
as a close defenseman, should i go with the stx sc ti pro or the stallion sc ti? I dont want to compromise power in the surgeon. which one?
well said
Thank you for this, i hope to show this to the kids i coach soon. Great video.
just because he can't spell the name of the school doesn't mean he's not going to play for them
lol one of my team plays is called Harvard :D
Yes it definitely takes more skill to watch a ball and then hit it ten it does to cradle, juke etc and keep your head up to pass and shoot @killzone904
trying to get a scholarship to UVA soon, only a high school sophomore though
Lacrosse is probably the mot enduring and "hardcore" sport there is. Well besides rugby but I think baseball players have nothing on lacrosse... baseball is a sport but that's just easy.
there was a time when my world was filled with darkness darkness darkness
Yooo pleaaaassse re- release the 2014 Full circle documentary somehow. Would love to show it to my high school team that I coach.
this is queerer than a 3 dollar bill. Harvard consistently gets the top recruits but cannot seem to win. They need to make one about the Men of the Yale Lacrosse Barnyard
