Dana Dobbie

Dana Dobbie is a name I am sure all our lacrosse people have heard, and it's most definitely for good reason. I was stoked to sit down with Dana and discuss all the angles of her lacrosse career - from growing up in Ontario in a world with no field lacrosse or social media inspiration, to becoming one of the best players in the game. Her background of playing hockey and box lacrosse growing up proved to be one of the main reasons she was able to be the Athlete's Representative at conversations amongst World Lacrosse for the sixes discipline of the game to erupt as the discipline to be played at the LA 2028 Olympics.

 

And she not only just represented the Athletes, she does what she does best - and she worked tirelessly to be amongst the group that has not only gotten lacrosse into the Olympics in 2028, but women's lacrosse into the Olympics for the first time in history and women's box lacrosse into the 2024 World Championships for the first time in history. Dana is just making history, and whether she likes to admit it on this episode or not - her humility, kindness, and overall dedication to her passion of the game is what has gotten her so far in this game. I'm someone who looks up to her - not only in our little lefty attacker corner of the world - but because of everything she's said in this episode. I can't wait for you to hear!
