Leslie Cook admits that her involvement with Bloomington Girls’ Lacrosse may be a little selfish on her part. She just loves what she does. It was a natural step for her after playing lacrosse in high school and as a club player in college. She learned as many lessons on the field as in the classroom and wanted to share that experience with the girls here on the local team. While watching the girls mature and grow on an off the field during her four years guiding the team, she realized that her experience as a coach with Bloomington Lacrosse had stretched her own skills as well. With the help of a coach mentor, she became a better leader and listener and tapped into her creativity and adaptability. These skills transferred into her work life as well and she has become more confident in her abilities on and off the field.
