"After four days of lacrosse tryouts, [Harvard lacrosse Coach Carole Kleinfelder] told me, 'Get out of here, you can't run,"' McBride says. "It was a real disappointment."
McBride came to Harvard as a three-sport athlete, but was recruited specifically to play lacrosse. In her freshman year, she tried out for the field hockey team and made the JV squad. She went out for the basketball team a month after everyone else did. She made the team...
In the spring, McBride had lacrosse to look forward to. At this sport, she would excel. Only one problem: stress fractures.
"I talked to the coaches and they told me that you can't play field hockey, basketball and lacrosse because the sports overlap," McBride says. "But I decided I would. If anyone tells me I can't do something, I'm going to do it."
The next year, hard as it was, McBride decided to give up field hockey and basketball and concentrate only on lacrosse.
