HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR
I'm Mikey Settles
I got Breakthrough Lacrosse my freshman year and it definitely helped me make varsity my sophomore year. I really embrace the mindset of being a "glue" guy. I just try to make plays in the transition game so that my teammates and coaches can trust me.
Playing solid short stick defense and having the ability to handle the ball in transition go a long way. Then not just running off the field on offense has built my confidence. Going through the offensive drills that Coach Bucci shows really helped me develop my offensive game.
"My kid currently plays Division I lacrosse for High Point. I remember watching Coach Bucci play when he was at Georgetown. My kid has adopted the exact mindset that Joe had. It allowed him to get playing time his freshman year in college. The 2-way midfielder is more rare these days with all the specialization. However, there are still some and Breakthrough Lacrosse is all about that!"
- Tom Mudlaff (Lax Dad)
"Breakthrough Lacrosse opened my eyes to the possibility of more opportunities to play on the lacrosse field. Coaches NEED guys that can make plays all over the field. I prided myself on the transition game. This helped me get on the field early in my career at Denver."
- Max Planning (Former Division I Player at Denver)
"I play at Gonzaga and am going to play at Roanoke next year. I'm on the 2nd line midfield now, but early in my varsity career I primarily played defensive midfield. This got me on the field faster than if I had to wait to play offense. Coach Bucci has some awesome drills. I watched through the whole program and started doing the drills. Simply, it made me a more complete lacrosse player."
