Thanks for coming at me bhall123. Let's go point by point :bhall123 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 4:30 pm Larry,
This is Rachel Hall's dad. I think it is sad that an old man hides behind a pseudonym to consistently denigrate a 21 year old girl who has fought to achieve everything she has accomplished against all odds. I am glad that people like you did not have the opportunity to influence her along the way, but instead she received the encouragement and praise of the likes of Kayla Treanor, Katrina Dowd, AWW, KAH and other great coaches who saw something in her. She is not mediocre, and if you were to meet her you would find her engaging, intelligent and with perhaps as much if not more knowledge about today's modern game of women's lacrosse than you.
I appreciate everyone who sticks up for her in this forum, but I fear you are only just feeding the troll and Rachel doesn't need help that makes her the brunt of misplayed and uninformed spoutings of an armchair goalie whose knowledge of the game appears grounded in the last century.
I really hope this is the last of this and you can move on to insulting someone else's daughter and not use mine as your example of today's mediocracy in women's lacrosse.
*I'm not hiding behind any psuedonym. Many people know my name or know me. I'm also not a "old man". That was a d@#k move, but my current health state says that I need to let that go.
*Did I name call your daughter or state that she is a terrible person? That would be NO! Telling me that she's a wonderful person has nothing to do with my criticism of her as a Lacrosse player. If you can point out to me where I lied about this, then you will get a sincere apology from me.
*Those coaches you named, I know them all except Treanor. If they have a different view of Rachel that's fine, but that doesn't negate what I said.
*So I know nothing of the "modern game"? Another d@#k assumption on your part. My involvement with the sport is long and consistent (outside of the last 3 years due to illness). I've been deeply involved for a long time.
*No armchair goalie here. I was never a goalie, but I have trained many many girls at the position for a very long time as part of my business. I like to think that I know what I'm talking about having learned from some of best(male and female) to have ever played the position. If not, then I should have gone into Real Estate or writing.
*I am sorry to report that you(nor anyone else) are not going to run me off the Forum. Not happening!
I will repeat again that if I start getting personal with your daughter, then you can point that out to me. I will delete it and apologize, otherwise I'll stay as I am.
Thanks for your time.
