About this listen

It’s not just highlight reels and championship rings. It’s late draft picks, getting cut, second jobs, injuries, and fighting to stay in the league every single season. Kyle Buchanan has spent 14 years in the National Lacrosse League. He was a 6th-round pick. He got released. He almost walked away. Now he’s a 3x NLL Champion with the Buffalo Bandits — chasing a fourth.

In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we talk about what life in pro lacrosse is really like: the mental grind, surviving roster cuts, playing in front of 19,000 fans in Buffalo, balancing a sales career with professional sports, and raising strong daughters while chasing titles. Most pro lacrosse players have second jobs. Most careers don’t last this long. This is the side of the NLL you don’t see — the sacrifice, the pressure, and the lessons that outlast the game.

Guest: Kyle Buchanan — 3x NLL Champion | Buffalo Bandits | Husband | Girl Dad
