NLL Insider

It's a rough life, but somebody's got to live it (Jared Chandler)

A while back, during the NLL regular season, IL learned that the San Jose Stealth had a group of guys set up living together in the scenic hills of northern California.

These players didn’t have ‘day jobs’ to go along with their playing duties - save for some equipment manufacturer rep duties or coaching responsibilities, so we were curious what exactly it was that these fellas did to fill their days.

So, we decided to send them a camera and have them document exactly what it’s like to be in your 20’s, a professional athlete and living the high life.

Check out what we got back, and also check out a photo gallery from Jared Chandler on IL’s Photo Zone.

Golf is a good workout, but it doesn’t really keep you ready for the NLL. These guys mix in some serious work to get them ready for the rug. Watch
