Fearsome defender Callum Robinson, a 6-4, 245-pound chemistry major from Stevenson University (Md.) who grew up in Perth, Australia, commutes from Laurel, Md., where his days are spent as a project manager for Allied Geothermal Well Drilling. Frequent Fliersīlaze all-star goalie Adam Ghitelman commutes from Salt Lake City, where he is currently an assistant coach for the University of Utah’s lacrosse program. Only one player, Scott Ratliff, was based in Atlanta during the 2017 season, and only a few more are expected this season. While the Blaze has some of the best lacrosse players in the world, few actually live in Atlanta year-round, which can make weekly travel logistics a nightmare for the player and the coaching staff. For teams like the Atlanta Blaze, filling the roster with 19 talented players isn’t the problem, but getting them here for each game during the season can be. Major League Lacrosse (MLL) has just nine teams with only 19 players eligible to “dress” each week for the 14 regular season games. It’s called “paying the price,” a timeworn sports adage that simply means doing everything necessary to perform, despite the inconveniences, to keep playing the sport for which you have a passion. An athlete’s desire to compete to extend either a lax or an amateur golf career must outstrip the sacrifices endured to make the entire undertaking worthwhile.
