Sergio Salcido has always been “one of the ones” who loves the game of lacrosse and holds high aspirations.  A fiery competitor for Winter Park High School and Team Florida (and many other club teams), Sergio always gave 110% and his silky smooth moves made him fun to watch.  FLN caught up with Sergio last June and found a young man who is growing up and doing everything he needs to do to earn playing time on one of the best Division 1 teams in the history of the sport. This year Sergio will be joined on the roster by two more Floridians, Max Parker from Winter Park who played at Lake Highland Prep and Nolan Callahan from Lighthouse Point who played at Avon Old Farms in Connecticut. Thanks to Spencer Bodian of the Daily Orange for our feature photo.  We have a bunch of Sergio in our library, but none better than Spencer’s. The article starts as follows:

Every morning last summer, Sergio Salcido woke up around 8:30 and had oatmeal, a six-egg omelet and egg whites to try to put on some weight. He then spent up to an hour and a half at Davis Training Systems in Orlando, Florida had a salad or sandwich for lunch and finished the day at Winter Park High School with an hour and a half of shooting, followed by wall ball and more shots. It was all part of a regimented offseason intended to transform Salcido from a scout-team player who imitated top offensive opponents in practice last year, to becoming one himself.   Click here to read the rest of the article
