Bump and Grind-South Beach - 11:15 p.m. / Wednesday January 21st, 2009
Its been a long time so I thought I would write a quick note and let you all know what I am up to. First of all Happy New Year. Hope you are all out getting ready for the season rocking your new Warrior/Brine Gear.
This weekend I am headed down to Miami Florida to play in my favorite tournement the Bump and Grind. My good friend Bo Lamon who also runs lacrossewear and laxzone.com puts on a sweet tourney on the Beach. This year we have put together a great squad of Long Island guys as well as Upstaters. Warrior and Brine are going to well represented with guys like Little Danny Dridge and the Beast Fiore. We are lookig to bring home the trophy on all levels so it should be a blast. I want to let everybody know that they should watch out for a great all around performance from Butchy the Arcade.
I am psyched to get back out there, work the knee a little and have some fun. I will let you all know how it goes. In the meantime keep working those stick skills and watch as much lax as possible.
Peace

Surgery - 12:16 p.m. / Monday October 27th, 2008
Well tomorrow is the day, surgery. This time it's not on the knee, the ankle, the wrist, it's on the nose. I'm going in tomorrow for surgery to help a deviated septum. I don't know if any body else suffers from this problem but it is the pits. For my entire life I have not been able to get a restful night of sleep. Even if I slept and was not getting quality sleep. To all my boys out there who have roomed with me either in college, the pros or for work, sorry for the SNORING but that will soon end. I know I used to snore like a bear but it will all be over tomorrow.
I'm really looking forward to being able to sleep like a normal person but I am really looking forward to be able to breathe better on the field. Let's hope everything works out and the surgery goes well.
I am really psyched to that the owner of the Dragons Mark Blake hooked me up with the New Ipod Touch with LB3 engraved on the back. It is so sick and is going to be great for the recovery and long flights out to SF this summer. I have lots of songs and games loaded for my recovery. Thanks again Mark.
Until next time, be good, hit the wall and have a safe Halloween.
Can anybody guesse what I am going to be for Halloween. Send me a message with your best guesse and first one to get it right, I will send you out a sweet prize.

Head Strong Tournement - 9:45 a.m. / Monday October 13th, 2008
Whats going on players!
I dont like to get to serious to often but I think that this directly effects all of us.
I sure alot of you noticed high school, college and pro players all over the country wearing neon green laces this summer. Some of you might have thought these laces where the latest trend in LAX but they were so much more. These laces represented the Head Strong Foundation.
The 2nd annual Nick Colleluori Classic will take place at Ridley High School, Folsom, PA on October 11th, 2008. The tournament competition will feature top men's college teams including Philadelphia's University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, St. Joseph's, Drexel, Widener, Haverford College and Cabrini among a 14-team field. Also in the field are Hofstra, Maryland, Princeton, Loyola, Penn State, Lehigh and Bellarmine.
Head Strong Tournement was Awesome - 9:41 a.m. / Wednesday October 8th, 2008
Whats up guys? I just wanted to check in and tell you about my weekend. I flew up from ATL to PHL this weekend for the Headstrong tournament. I got to see a lot of great Lacrosse. Hofstra had some insane uniforms on to remember Nick and support the Head Strong foundation. They wore Neon green Helmets, played with Neon Green Heads and had white and Neon Green Jersey.
At the tournament I got to see a bunch of my boys. Bill Mcglone SF Dragons, Greg the BEAST Guarenlian SF Dragons and Mike POGO SF dragons were all there. I also got to hang with Joey Kemp LA Riptide, Doc Washington Bayhawks and Brett Moyer from the barrage. We all put on a free clinic. I will get some video up soon and I think it is also going to be on Lax United as well.
The Warrior experience was also there. The Warrior experience is always a lot of fun. I know Randy donated some Evo Ti heads and shafts to a great cause. The kids had a blast as always.
After the Clinic we headed over to Brett Moyers house in Ridley and McGlone and I dominated a couple games of Horseshoes. All lax players are competitive and this was no exception.
On Sunday I got to coach 5 of my LB3 club teams so it was great to see the squads. This fall should be a lot of fun and hopefully we win some tournaments.
That's about it from here in ATL. I want to give a couple of shout outs
Mr. POGO- Thanks for the burgers and soda's
JB- Thanks for getting me at the airport
McGlone- Thanks for the much needed trip to your house
Keyser- Always a pleasure seeing you
Moyer Family- Thanks for the hospitality
Randy- Warrior Experience was Awesome

Liam Banks- Season starts in Oct - 10:42 a.m. / Monday October 6th, 2008
I know it's the offseason and my season doesn't start for a while but I am already getting that itch to get my stick back in my hands. After the season I like to take a little time off but every time I walk down the hall past that stick, my mind gets racing. So this weekend I gave into the temptation. Warrior sent me out the new Evo TI, strung up with a Players Pocket and a Woodrow handle, I picked up the stick went to the wall and starting training. There is nothing like a good 30 min workout on the Wall to reinforce the repetition, the muscle memory and the hand eye coordination. So I guess day one of training for Next years Championship run started last weekend.
I'm out

Liam Banks BLOG- WALL BALL - 5:41 p.m. / Thursday August 21st, 2008
When I was young I knew I wanted to be a great lacrosse player. I knew I would never be the biggest or the fastest but I knew that I would have the best possible stick skills as I could. I worked my entire life to develop these skills and to challenge myself to be better. At the end of the day Wall Ball is what helped me to become a professional player. Check out my Youtube Video on Wall Ball. It shows some of my technique and talks a little bit about goal setting.
