On today's episode of the Lax Lounge we sit down and talk with our guy Connor Herraiz. We talk with Connor about everything from the Mamba Mentality and why it resonates with him and his experience growing up and how he got into lacrosse. We then get into his college career and he describes how he's able to flip the switch in big moments and turn into a freak on the field. From there we talk about some of his summer adventures playing golf and traveling with his family and finish up with a draft of the best athletes of all time (with a sneaky NFL preview mixed in). Connor is a great guy to have in the locker room and you can hear the passion he has for Cabrini with every word he speaks. Don't forget to check out our merchandise at https://www.laxloungeinc.com/ and a massive thank you to our sponsor Edvative Learning (https://www.edvative.com/)!
