Written: Must include 200 words. Reality shows are a major TV sensation. Whether it's watching idiots drinking and making a fool of themselves, seeing drama (which is most likely fake), or shows like Amercain Idol, The Voice, and other game shows with real world implications, there is always something that people enjoy that isn't quite the same as a TV show/movie. Your player has been chosen to participate in one of these. Write about your appearance on the show.
Lavelle was recently chosen to participate in the reality show called "The Toughest Trade". For any of you that don't know , the toughest trade is an irish based show which basically takes an athlete from one particular sport and trading places with another from a different sport. An example would be when Aidan O'Shea who plays for Mayo in the GAA switched with former Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Roberto Wallace.
O'Shea played and took snaps at mainly TE/OT while Wallace attempted to get to grips with the difficulty and physicality of the GAA.
Lavelle was picked and during this years offseason , he switched with MLS star and fellow Irishman Kevin Doyle who is currently playing for the Colorado Rapids.
Doyle lined up both at WR/CB in the Yellowknife Wraiths preseason camps and found that often the physicality was too much for him to handle. On the other side of the spectrum, Lavelle settled in quite well at Colorado, using his experience as a youth playing full back and in wider winger roles to actually challenge for a spot on the team at the ripe age of 29.
Both players returned home and had great things to say about the experience and challenges of both sports.
