Gordon J. Corsetti - Mental Agility Lacrosse Tournament
/FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tri-State Lacrosse Community Unites for the Gordon J. Corsetti Mental Agility Tournament to Champion Mental Health Awareness
ATLANTA, GA — The Gordon Corsetti Mental Agility Foundation is proud to announce its premier annual fundraiser, the Gordon J. Corsetti Mental Agility Lacrosse Tournament. Bringing together high school teams from Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, the event serves as a powerful tribute to Gordon’s enduring legacy as an athlete, official, and mental health advocate.
The tournament is more than a competition; it is a mission-driven gathering designed to honor Gordon’s profound love for the "creator’s game" while raising critical funds for suicide prevention and mental health resources. As the Foundation’s largest fundraising effort of the year, 100% of the proceeds will go toward providing tools, workshops, and support for individuals navigating clinical depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
"Gordon believed that mental agility, the ability to attack depressed thoughts and gain mastery over the mind, was a skill that could be taught, much like the fundamentals of lacrosse," said Lou Corsetti, President of the Mental Agility Foundation. "By bringing together the lacrosse communities of three states, we are not just playing a game; we are carrying Gordon’s light and ensuring that no one has to fight their internal battles alone."
A Legacy of Resilience Gordon Corsetti was a prominent figure in the lacrosse world, known for his "Elite Vulnerability" and his work as a high-level official. Having lived with clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder, Gordon dedicated his life to sharing methods, such as breathwork, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral tools, to help others live more fulfilling lives. This tournament embodies his vision of staying "calm and grounded in any situation," whether on the field or in life’s most difficult transitions.

Mental Agility Education: On-site resources and information regarding suicide prevention and the "7th Shelf" tools for mental resilience.
