Grant Ament

Here's coach Tambroni's full response:

@james_hoganv It has never been because of a lack of trying.

Penn State has not played a regular season game against an ACC opponent since 2014. That was before the Big Ten conference even existed in lacrosse. That year they won on the road in South Bend against Notre Dame. Why does Penn State not schedule or play ACC opponents?

@Chris_Jast @MacOKeefe3 @PennStateMLAX Gods country! Stay warm up there Chris!

The house that @GrantAment, @MacOKeefe3, & others built

For the second year in a row, the PLL was voted one of the Best Places to Work in Sports by Sports Business Journal! 🥍🙏 What an incredible honor, @SBJ. Let's keep building.

“I want you to be able to turn the tape on and your teammate to watch the play you’re doing and say, ‘Man that guy is finishing for me, man I trust that guy.’ Finish for the guy next to you and give everything you’ve got. If we call all look at each other in the eyes and say I gave you what I had, that’s always going to be a good thing,” Dan Campbell

Really cool story: The Utah Archers @PLLArchers won the @PremierLacrosse Championship a few weeks back. They did a teambuilding exercise with my children’s book “Be a Good Teammate” before their semi-final match. Their coach @ChrisBatesPLL shared with me: “We had our players write positive affirmations for each of their teammates in the book. It was a powerful exercise. Our players took the opportunity very seriously and typically shared a short paragraph of wonderfully supportive comments about each other. And then before the semi-finals, my assistant coach asked each player to then write in their own book a note to themselves. I believe it brought huge value to us in our championship run!” My 💛 is smiling.... #AWESOME #TheLittleBookThatKeepsGiving @USA_Lacrosse @ryan_ambler @bdobson_45

"The goal for USA Lacrosse is to try and grow the sport as big as possible.. It's definitely getting a lot bigger and the PLL has done a great job of growing the sport as well" @pkavv88 #PMSLive

Graeme Hossack is the best player you don’t know much about! The Whitby, ON native grew up playing 90% box lacrosse (as most Canadians do) and his box training has made him into one of the best players in the world. The 3x NLL Defensive Player of the Year and 1x PLL Defenseman of the year just won another PLL Championship and is the epitome of what a great defender does! He’s incredible off the ground, in transition and the clearing game. As a cover guy he’s surgical with his stick in terms of gaining leverage through his holds and he can take it away. He’s fearless in soaking shots, which is something he’s learned from box as well! Off ball he not only plays great team defense, he has a knack for bone crushing hits. If you’re a you defender, play as much box lacrosse or small net games and it will be the best thing for your game! Playing defense is as much about have a great stick as playing offense!

@LacrosseNetwork @PennStateMLAX @OhioStateMLAX @CashApp No rivalry here(5-0) 🤐

"This is what winning is" 🏆😅 Grant Ament [@PennStateMLAX] had to remind Mitchell Pehlke [@OhioStateMLAX] of the Big Ten rivalry before his post-Championship interview (presented by @CashApp)

I bet the 6 all-pro attackmen would prefer to dodge any of the 6 all-pro defensemen over Graeme Hossack

The best SSDM unit in the league

The only player in the league with 3️⃣ PLL Championship wins🏆 In each of his four years in the PLL, @MacOKeefe3 has appeared in the Championship game. He has now won three of them 😮‍💨

An Archers Championship staple at this point 🤷‍♂️👏 Connor Maher hustling yet again to get possession 🤝

OH MY MASON WOODWARD 🤯 Straight energy goal from the rookie🧃

Brett Dobson's message to the fans in Utah in post game: "Let's raise another fuckin banner."

Only four pro lacrosse teams have gone back-to-back. Three of them had Tony Resch on the coaching staff.

“Ryan Ambler is the reason we didn’t miss a beat when Tom (Schreiber) went down.”- @GrantAment

This move will evolve as quickly as the BTB and begin to rival the usage of a split dodge. Loved this rendition by @GrantAment.

@KyleHarrison18 Appreciate you 18 🙏🏼. Focused on that one this off szn. Just added an extra step to your two step !

Watching Utah / Maryland game right now - @GrantAment’s same hand split the cleanest I’ve seen in quite some time! Footwork is crazy. Young players, gohead & watch the split around 7 mins in the first quarter - adds an extra step to it - elite stuff.
