Testimonials
Tim Wunderlich, Delft Amsterdam
"Everybody here in Delft was excited that GP chose to come to our city helping us out with drills and pointers to prepare us for the next season. It was great being able to sit down with them after practice and hear their stories until late at night and go out into town to have great time together. We want to thank the GP for their effort and passion and all the good things they brought to our club."
Georg Teichtmeister Graz Gladiators, Austria
"For our team in Graz/Austria it is a great opportunity and especially great inspiration to practice with people which play(ed) at the highest level of lacrosse. Developing lacrosse in a city or a country from the roots is a demanding and hard job and being supported by the best makes it a lot easier and gives us the motivation to continue and improve our work. The players and coaches of the Global Players program were all competent and pleasant people not only on the field but also beside it. Especially your clinic with the school kids was really good and I think they enjoyed it and want to try out the sport. Thank you GP 2011!"
Ally Bauer, Susquehanna University
"I laughed everyday and learned something new everyday.”
JJ Sagl, Goucher College
“Global Players actually really did change me as a person. I really learned to take things in stride and live spontaneously. I understand how to be a world traveler instead of a world tourist. It was extremely fun. Traveling through out Europe, making new friends, meeting new people, seeing new places was really a once in a lifetime opportunity; i will cherish it forever."
Ryan Plank, Florida State University
“The GP experience was like a years worth of personal growth in 1 month. It made me more independent, more open-minded, and a much more effective communicator. Most of all, it gave me much more confidence. I always thought of myself as a confident person, but to be thrust into a completely different culture and expected to integrate and adapt seamlessly was a difficult yet exciting and challenging task. I absolutely loved it.”
Valentin Gruber, Graz Gladiators
"Since I first got to host Global Players a few years ago, i cant wait until they come, and i hate when they go, for many reasons. Not only do they help our developing lacrosse country grow the game and get better every year, they have fun doing it and represent the sport in a great way. What you definitely won't get when you are with GP, is bored. It's just allways fun! This year, i felt privileged to not only play for GP in tournaments, but also to be given the opportunity to really be integrated in the group for part of the journey through Europe. Most importantly, that way i got the privelege to meet so many great people on the way. The international players from europe and the players from all over the US, east to west, from up north all the way down to Florida! So i think, what the Global really stands for, is global friendship, and i can't wait to make travel plans to pay some people a visit! Thank you GP staff for doing a great job, you guys have become good friends and I can't wait for next year!"
Marie Cuddihy, Mother of Mary Cuddihy GP’10
"Mary had such an amazing and wonderful experience these last three weeks. Thank you for calling her and offering such a fabulous experience. It was so great getting her back here, she looked so happy and full excitement. Just wanted to say Thank you to you again."
Tyler Turri, GP '10, Clemson University
"GP allowed me to experience several different cultures over the course of a few weeks and now I feel more comfortable about experiencing new things"
Sigrid Neubinger, Out of Bounds Tour ’10, Munich Lacrosse Club, Germany
"Thank you so much for bringing the GP to Austria and Germany. We always learn so much from you. Not only for our own skills but also how to get people in contact with lacrosse. You should be really proud of your program and the things you have achieved with it."
Maeghan Ross, GP '09, Emerson College, Current GP Staff Member
“Over the course of the 2 months I was abroad I really dug deep down inside myself and discovered a lot about who I am and who I want to become. I realized that I cannot control every aspect of my life and sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith and jump into the unknown. Thank you GP and staff so much for everything you have helped me to see and realize in my life. You (and the GP program) had a very, very significant impact on my life and the person I am today. I began the journey I am on with you all and cannot thank you enough for being there for me... I cannot thank you enough for the doors you showed me that I continue to find day in and day out."
