Things you do when you mess up.

[mountieslax22]

If say I do a Horrible pass I always pound my pocket like it was the pockets fault even though it was mine.( I noticed that like half of my team does the same thing when they do a bad pass.)


Post what you do because you will probably be surprised what you have in common with people.

[laxkid44]

i do that too. but i don't like it, its just a habit that i've gotten into.

[keyser_sose]

Smack myself in the head and usually yell.

[ItalyLaxer11]

its kinda annoying but i say "me,"like my bad
i mean its kinda obvious when its my fault, but its just a habit
o wait i forgot, nevermind, i never mess up

[lacrosse12]

i go to one of my eamates during the next deadball and say sumtin like sorry that was my bad

[OmenPigeon]

I usually pound my pocket or slam my stick on the ground. Sometimes yell.

[navylax161]

even if its not a bad pass, just a bad play, i pound the pocket a lot. its kind of a habit. maybe a potty word too.

[mountieslax22]

also on a bad play for me it is like automatic to curse under my breathe

[atacklax]

I try to go get the ball back. If I just threw the ball to a defender, I go chase him like a crazy person. If there's no hope of getting it back, I hit my stick on the ground and curse to myself.

[LacrosseDan]

I cuss under my breath. Or look up to the sky.

[itsthatkid]

I flick my wrist and hit mysef in the back/elbow pad with the shaft of my stick. I also do that when I score or when I'm trying to get myself excited. Actually, I just do that all the time.

I'm very vocal, so I'll shout out a "My bad" or something along those lines.

[greenshoelaces]

I put my hands over my facemask, and look to the ground. And Sometimes, I point at the goalie and stare.

[Bretmac]

what i do is hard to explain i like drop my stick so its balancing inbetwwen my thum and my pointer finger and make a weird moition like i ride my hands down my chest and push out kinda like getting the bad outa me i guess

[tomtom]

I worry about the next part of the play. Throwing fits after missed passes, bad throws, or whatever doesnt help. Get back in the play and make up for it.

[spyopticgoggles]

i usually just give my self a quick smack to the facemask then go make up for my bad play.

[Lax4life528]

I always pound my pocket and say something like "my bad" or along those lines.

[rynolax]

I act like it didn't happen. Everyone makes mistakes, just get ready for the next play.
If it was a really bad play though, I'll just kind of point to myself to let my team konw I knew it was my bad.

I do the same.

I hate people that pound their pocket when they get a catch and then drop it. Either learn to hold the ball or string a better pocket, it's not the pocket's fault :thumbsdow .

[middiesrulz]

I punch myself in the testicular region, jk I regularly just laugh and sometimes cuss if it's in a game. If it's just practice then I just put on my dumb face and laugh. If it's a game and I'm mad then I close my eyes for a split second and breathe out.

[dalaxmandef3]

I never mess up (10). Usually I break down and play good D or I hit the person that gets the ball.

[goaliegod]

Well i play goalie, so if i mess up its usually on a clear or shot. If its on a clear and my D gets the ball out, i take time to think what went wrong so it doesn't happen again. If the opposing team gets the ball on a bad clear, i make sure i make the save and get a better clear. If i let a goal in i should of saved...i usually hit the post and bounce on my toes for like a second, like most goalies do...

[laxobsesive359]

Like someone said before, when i throw it to a defender i chase him like a madman. The only difference is even when there is no way i can get it, i stilll chase him. Even if the mess up was my fault, i'm still gettin payback

[deucewildness]

i'll usually just pound my pocket or grit my teeth and try to move on. but when people slam their sticks on the ground or curse ...its not necessary at all. it accomplishes nothing and makes the team look bad. really ticks me off.

[Laxattack05]

usually a pocket pound, snapping my stick on my forearm... and i always tap my chest with my fingertips and say "my bad". then of course start sprinting back to get on d.

[StallionsLax08]

If say I do a Horrible pass I always pound my pocket like it was the pockets fault even though it was mine.( I noticed that like half of my team does the same thing when they do a bad pass.)

Almost everybody in the whole lacrosse nation does this. At least on my watch and every time i do that I get mad because I did it, it is really hard not to.

[faceofflax15]

I have a terrible habit, I either slam my head or hit me helmet with my head. It's absolutely terrible.

[the next 'one']

i usually do a little grunt and tap my facemask with my shaft, like a corsscheck.

then get back in it.

[CardinalPuff]

what?! nobody admits to blaming the ref?

[midshipman]

I slash myself.

[brineman9]

i cry and cry and cry some more

[lacrosseking2]

i hit myself in the head hard enough to scratch my shaft (or dent it) depends on what i did, and then i try to make up for it

[duke4life40]

either hit myself fix my shoothers slam my stick or just take it out with a big slap chek

[greenshoelaces]

I think the reason people pound their pocket after a mistake is not because they blame their stick, but are actually just mad, and that's the first thing you look at, so you punch it.

[In the corners]

I yell like a battle cry and then I throw my stick at the nearest person...just kidding. Usually just a "my bad"

[link3193]

I try to make up for it.

[Laxdawg14]

i do this when i mess up or after i make an outlet pass [im a goalie]

i take off my right glove and hold it under my armpit and hit my mesh.... not hard but just enough to make the pocket form again

[Serpe]

i say "wwwooooooowwwww" really loud and obnoxiously. my team hates it haha but i just can't not do it. bad habit. I everynow and again slam my stick on the ground, throw it, ect. or i just go into the woods behind my field and get a ball that was lost back there, and just whip it at the fence back there

[thor of the kop]

i blame my pocket when its a bad pass. sometimes i sell it good by actualy redoing my shooters on the spot.
