Michael Sowers has a knack for knowing what his opponents will do in an attempt to stop him. As the son of a coach, he’s learned to dissect the game in order to anticipate what might come next.

Sowers, the Duke star who poured in 302 points in three-plus seasons at Princeton, knows when a slide is coming, and he can find open teammates better than almost any player to ever step on a lacrosse field.

What makes his talents even more impressive is that, according to Sowers himself, his vision is far worse than 20/20.

“I actually have pretty bad eyesight,” he joked with Paul Carcaterra on the first episode of Season 4 of the “Overtime” podcast, which comes out every Wednesday.

Sowers, the transcendent player who is hoping to win an NCAA title as a graduate student, joined Carcaterra to talk about his upbringing in the Philadelphia suburbs, his time at Princeton and how he feels suiting up for the Blue Devils.

Of course, he also touched on his inability to perfectly see what’s happening on the field. He doesn’t wear contacts or glasses when he plays. And he said he does not currently know where his glasses are, either.

“I have two pairs of glasses and I’ve lost both,” he said. “I don’t know if I’m in the market for a third pair, so I just chalk it up to bad vision.”

Instead, he uses his intuition to carve up defenses.

“Vision is, more than anything, understanding the game,” he said. “Understanding where they’re sliding from and also the tendencies of the guys I’m playing with.”

It helps to have teammates like Brennan O’Neill, Dyson Williams, Joe Robertson, Phil Robertson, Nakeie Montgomery and plenty of others to pick out of the crowd. Whether Sowers can see the whole field, he’s certainly made the most of his talents in the college lacrosse game.

By season’s end, he could be Division I lacrosse’s all-time leading scorer.
