Jeff Brunelle over at Lacrosse All Stars sat down with the founders of the LXM Pro Tour for some insightful discussion on what this event is all about. We’ve been reporting on LXM ever since we first heard the rumors back in July, but this piece is by far the most comprehensive take on it that we’ve seen so far.
We were admittedly apprehensive about this whole thing when we first head the buzz. But the more we learn about it, the more it’s growing on us. For the sake of the game and the future of the sport, we truly hope that that this does it justice. We don’t believe that it’s fair to say that LXM will dictate the future of lacrosse, but taking on the self-proclaimed mission of growing the game does carry some degree of responsibility with it.
Growing The Game: Hochstadt and Ritz Talk LXM PRO
An interview with the founders of LXM PRO.What is the purpose of LXM PRO? What are the goals? Who’s behind it? Why should we care? These were the simple questions I was hoping to get answers to when I sat down to speak with LXM PRO founders Scott Hochstadt and Xander Ritz on Sunday afternoon.
Ultimately I got those answers and much more. Chatting via Skype can be a battle in terms of getting to know the person on the other end, but they made an interviewer’s job easy. Hochstadt and Ritz were quick to get comfortable and openly share their vision for the event. Maybe that was because I told Hochstadt I attended a camp he coached at in Salt Lake City when I was in high school, but more on that later – Let’s get to the answers:
Thanks for linking this up. It was a fun interview and from everything we’ve heard so far, the event was quite the success!
