DAN DAWSON
Forward · Rochester Knighthawks, Boston Blazers, Philadelphia Wings, New England Black Wolves · 2001 – 2019
“Eighteen seasons taught me the game rewards people who never stop adjusting.”
One of the most durable scorers in league history on reinvention, injuries, and mentoring young talent.
How did you keep producing across so many seasons?
I changed my game every few years. When a step goes, you replace it with reads and positioning.
What do alumni need most after their careers?
Community and honest conversation — about health, about work, about identity when the jersey comes off.
What would you tell a rookie today?
Learn from the veterans in your room. That knowledge is free and it disappears fast.
