Since then, Paul and Vanessa have been spotted together several times in real life and on their various social media.
Considering that both of them have huge careers in their respective fields, it is understandable that their Instagram feeds are more dedicated to Lacrosse and her movies than to their relationship.
Paul Rabil‘s Lacrosse career started at Watkins Mill High School in Maryland, US, where his dominant playing style attracted the attention of several private schools.
Among them was DeMatha High School, where he transferred to and continued dominating, leading the team to three Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championships and a record of 49-16.
Having begun his lacrosse journey at the tender age of 8, Rabil finally joined the sport professionally when he was selected 1st overall by the Boston Cannons in the 2008 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft.
Rabil’s impact on the sport was immediate and profound, winning numerous accolades, including the MLL MVP award twice and the Offensive Player of the Year award.
For 11 years, Paul was considered to be one of the most dominant players in the MLL, where he played as a midfielder for the Boston Cannons and the New York Lizards.
Rabil hung up the Lacrosse cleats in October of 2021 after a 14-year-long professional career.
He cited the physical toll the sport had on his body as the reason for his retirement, and he wanted to focus on his other ventures off the field: the Premier Lacrosse League and “Goals for Greatness.”
The Premier Lacrosse League was founded by Paul and his brother, Mike Rabil, in 2018 with the goal of revolutionizing professional lacrosse by offering better compensation, health benefits, and media exposure for players.
Goals for Greatness is another noble venture led by Paul, the aim for which is quoted to be,
My hope is that through this endeavor, more kids and adults can play lacrosse…and with lacrosse goals on fields nationwide, the world will soon have that same visual I had growing up – making lacrosse more recognizable, aspirational and accessible.
