2023 MVP Tom Schreiber on Practice after Practice, Self-Evaluation and Being a Gold Medal Dad

As the son of a lacrosse legend, Tom Schreiber was given a stick “immediately” and taught the value of hard work, sacrifice and “practice after practice.” His foundation put him ahead of his peers physically, so he chose to invest in his development mentally as his main competition was, “me vs. me.”

This process allowed him to win almost every award possible including 2 gold medals for team USA, a PLL championship, 3X MVP, 4X pro lacrosse Midfielder of the Year Award, 9X professional all-star, a two-time Tewaaraton Finalist, a three-time 1st Team All-American, and a two-time Donald MacLaughlin Award winner as the nation's top midfielder. In 2023, fresh off a record-breaking season, he found himself in an emotional slump requiring him to analyze what gives him true meaning and motivates him to keep growing. The answers to these questions translate directly to his personal life off the field.

As the spouse of an elite athlete and father of two young children, Tom prioritizes the concepts of sacrifice, teamwork, self-accountability, establishing high standards to leave a legacy so his kids will thank him one day just like he did with his own father.
