Episode 16: Max Adler - Major League Lacrosse All-Star and Financial Analyst at ESPN
b"Today\\u2019s guest is Max Adler. Max is currently a face-off specialist for the Denver Outlaws, a professional lacrosse team part of Major League Lacrosse. Max made his professional lacrosse debut in July of 2017, and since then has been arguably the best face-off specialist in the league. Last season, Max won a league best 58.3% of face-offs and was named to the Major League Lacrosse All-Star Team for the first time in his career. What makes this feat especially impressive is that Max barely made the lacrosse team his freshman year at Division II Bentley University. Lacrosse wasn\\u2019t even his main sport in high school. When Max isn\\u2019t training or playing lacrosse, he\\u2019s a Financial Analyst at ESPN working out of their headquarters in Bristol, CT. It\\u2019s probably been too long before I\\u2019ve brought on a Bentley alum, and so I\\u2019m especially excited to share this conversation with my fellow Bentley University Class of 2017 graduate, Max Adler. \\n\\nTimestamps\\n00:02:44 How he's adjusted to the Pandemic situation\\n00:07:20 Growing up and high school\\n00:11:15 Wrestling in high school\\n00:19:12 How wrestling helped his lacrosse game\\n00:21:12 Why he chose Bentley\\n00:22:20 Bentley tryouts and first season\\n00:27:15 Putting in the extra work after freshman year\\n00:30:51 Job of the face-off specialist\\n00:32:08 Making it a goal to be an All-American\\n00:34:42 Applying same work ethic to school\\n00:37:06 How he got the opportunity to play pro lacrosse\\n00:42:23 Denver Outlaws tryouts\\n00:45:50 Living in Boston while playing for Denver\\n00:48:30 Playing for Israel in the World Championships\\n00:54:05 Getting the job at ESPN\\n00:58:28 His daily routine\\n01:00:42 His driving force\\n01:02:45 What would he say to freshman year Max at Bentley"
