Happy belated birthday to UMass All-American and 1982 U.S. Team player, Brooks Sweet (aka ‘The Player of the World’). Brooksy scored 7 goals in the championship game vs. Australia and I was lucky enough to be his assistant coach at The Poly Prep School in Brooklyn, NY for a few years, learning from one of the greats in the game.⠀ ⠀ Prior to his induction into the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame, I was asked by U.S. Lacrosse to write his HOF induction article, which was an amazing honor to do. The illustration I did of Brooksy back in 2008, when building the foundation of The Art of Lax, was used to accompany the article, which was a great example of a ‘full circle’ looking back.⠀ ⠀ Have a great weekend, Brooksy, hope you had a great birthday!⠀ ⠀ #Lacrosse #Art #BrooksSweet #USA #TeamUSA #birthday #ForArtForLax (at Lacrosse Museum & National Hall of Fame) https://www.instagram.com/p/B47m6V8hArz/?igshid=1hfu140ley74r
