The alum who led the training most recently graduated from the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training program, or BUD/S, Collins also said. The program is an intense, monthslong training program for Navy SEAL candidates.

Sounds like former lacrosse-bro either thought his instructors were wimpy CYA babysitters when they told him he should be drinking so much water all day, everyday that he can’t even sleep through the night, or perhaps slightly more forgivably, he internalized the lesson so thoroughly that he didn’t realize current lacrosse-bros would not be hydrated nearly well enough to handle a SEAL workout. In either event, that macho competitive bullshit mindset pushing people to ignore giant flashing biological warning lights and hurt themselves is one of the ways that toxic masculinity is literally toxic. It’s D3 lacrosse, my friends. The fate of the free world does not depend on beating Wesleyan by 9 instead of 7.
