Neal Powless Offensive Forward #16
What’s your favorite song to listen to before a game?
Depends on my mood, but I have a few that really get me pumped up. The most memorable of the songs is Iron Man by black Sabbath. My brothers used to tease me with that song when I was a very young child and I was terrified of the song for the longest time. When I was older in college, I borrowed a tape from someone and it was on it. I freaked out, and I forced myself to get over my fear and listen to the song over and over. Now, it really gets me charged up to play.
What is your favorite lacrosse moment?
Winning the National Championship my senior year in college in overtime!!! We finished the season undefeated, and I assisted the game winning goal just 8 seconds into the game. It was one of the most exhilarating feelings to know those 4 years of hard work and dedication was realized in just those few 8 seconds of lacrosse!
What have you injured playing lacrosse?
Wow, too many things. Broken thumb (reconstructed), dislocated elbow, sprained ankles, shoulders, dislocated fingers and only 1 concussion! I’m proud of that!
What’s your favorite pre-game food?
When I was younger used to love my moms Mac-n-cheese. But now it’s usually something lighter with some protein so maybe a large salad with a lean buffalo burger.
What’s your favorite Vacation?
Have only been able to go on a few real vacations, so probably the few days I spent in Taos, New Mexico because I got to go rafting on the Rio Grande.
What’s your favorite sport besides lacrosse?
Racquetball
What’s your goal for the 2010 season?
To see the Redhawks win the league and eventually win the Presidents Cup!!
