Paul Rabil is widely considered one of the greatest lacrosse players of all time. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Early life

Paul Rabil was born on December 14, 1985, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, to Allan and Jean Anne Rabil, [6] his mother was a Roman Catholic school art teacher; his father, who worked in sales for an aerospace company, was the one who strengthened his son to try many sports. [7] He grew up in Montgomery Village and completed his education at a local public school. [8] During his childhood, Rabil pursued a variety of interests and extracurricular activities. [6] Along with playing basketball, soccer, and swimming, he also showed an inclination toward music and learned to play several musical instruments. [6] Lacrosse was a very prominent sport in Maryland at the time, however, after Paul’s mother insisted that Paul stick with lacrosse, he fell in love with the game. [9] Throughout his elementary and middle school years, Paul continued playing lacrosse. [9]

Career

High school

At Watkins Mill High School, with more than 3,500 students, Rabil secured a spot as a starting player on the varsity team during his freshman year. [10] Attracting interest from a number of local private high schools, Paul transferred to DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Maryland after participating in a summer tournament with the school’s team. [9] During Rabil’s three-year tenure at Dematha, he led the team to three Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championships and a record of 49-16. Rabil amassed 288 career total points, including 80 goals and 73 assists in his two final seasons. [11] Rabil was also awarded for his personal efforts as he was named 2-time All-American, 2-time All-State selection, and the #4 ranked prospect in the high school class of 2004. [12] Following significant attention from lacrosse programs nationwide, Paul ultimately chose to commit to Johns Hopkins University, attributing his decision to the exceptional leadership of Coach Dave Pietramala, as well as the program's legacy of championships and culture. [10]

College

Rabil began his academic career at Johns Hopkins University in the Fall of 2004. Attending a prestigious university, keeping up with the academic course load was an initial struggle for Rabil. [13] Rabil has a condition called auditory processing disorder, which makes it more difficult for individuals to process auditory information. [13] Despite his struggles in the classroom, Rabil’s Johns Hopkins lacrosse career began in the spring of 2005. In 2005, Rabil had a notable freshman season tallying 37 points on 23 goals and 14 assists. [14] This effort earned Rabil Third Team All-American honors and aided in securing Johns Hopkins the national championship. [14] Rabil continued his successful start in 2006 during his sophomore season, scoring 25 goals and 13 assists. [14] Rabil earned First Team All-American Honors, as well as being a finalist for the 2006 Tewaaraton Award. [14] Despite Rabil’s efforts, Johns Hopkins lost to Syracuse in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. [14] As an upperclassman, Rabil tallied 27 goals and 26 assists for a total of 53 points in his junior season. [14] Rabil was awarded First Team All-American honors for the second consecutive year, the McLaughlin Award, and was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Awards. [14] Rabil led the program to its ninth national title, defeating Duke University 12-11 in the National Championship game. [15] In his senior season, Rabil scored 36 goals and had 14 assists for 50 total points. [15] Rabil earned First Team All-American Honors for the third consecutive season, but missed out on another title as Johns Hopkins lost to Syracuse in the 2008 National Championship game. [16] Ultimately, Paul graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2008 majoring in political science and minoring in entrepreneurship and management. [14]

Major League Lacrosse

Rabil was selected 1st overall by the Boston Cannons in the 2008 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft. [17] In Rabil’s Rookie season of 2008, Rabil participated in the MLL All-Star Game after immediately making an impact on the Cannons’ offense. [12] In 2009, Rabil added an MLL MVP and MLL Offensive Player of the Year, as well as participating in his second consecutive MLL All-Star Game. [12] In Rabil’s third season in 2010, he made his third consecutive All-Star Game, while being named a member of the First Team All-Pro MLL Team. [12] Rabil earned the MLL MVP and MLL Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career in 2011, while leading Cannon’s to their first MLL championship in franchise history in the 2011 season. [12] In 2012 during Rabil’s sixth professional season, he broke the all-time points record at 72 points in a season. [18] In doing this, Paul earned his third overall and second consecutive MLL Offensive Player of the Year. [19] In 2014, Rabil continued his success adding his seventh consecutive All-Star game and sixth consecutive MLL All-Pro First Team Selection. [20] In 2015, Rabil was traded to the New York Lizards in a package deal that included Cannon’s midfielder Mike Stone for Max Seibal and MLL Collegiate Draft Picks. [21] Rabil finished the remainder of his career in the MLL with the New York Lizards. [21] With the New York Lizards, he won his second and final MLL championship in 2015, where he was named the playoff’s MVP. [22] Rabil left the MLL in 2018 to found the Premier Lacrosse League with his brother, Mike. [23]

National League Lacrosse

Rabil also participated in the NLL, after being drafted second overall in the 2008 National Lacrosse League entry draft by San Jose Stealth. [24] Scoring 16 goals and 18 assists for a total of 34 points, Paul was named to the 2009 All-Rookie Team in his initial season. [25] In 2009, the San Jose Stealth moved to Washington State, becoming the Washington Stealth. [25] In 2010, Rabil scored 11 goals and had 26 assists leading the Washington Stealth to an NLL Championship. [25] In 2012, Rabil was eventually traded to the Edmonton Rush for Athan Ianucci. [25] However, Rabil wished to move closer to his home in Maryland, therefore, did not report to Edmonton and sat out the rest of the 2012 NLL Season. [25] Rabil was then traded to the Rochester Knighthawks in exchange for Jarret Davice, however, again did not report to training. [25] Soon after, he was traded to the Philadelphia Wings for Dan Dawson, Paul Dawson, and a first-round draft pick. [25] In 2013, Rabil played his last and final season in the NLL with the Philadelphia Wings scoring 17 goals and having 21 assists for a total of 38 points. [25]

Premier Lacrosse League

Rabil co-founded the PLL in 2018 with his brother Mike Rabil. [23] At the time of inception, the league was funded and backed by an investment group consisting of Joe Tsai Sports, The Chernin Group, Arctos Sports Partners, Brett Jefferson Holdings, The Raine Group, and other sports investing groups. [26] The Rabil brothers created the league with the hopes of pushing for higher wages and benefits for lacrosse players. At that time, Paul was among the handful of players who could earn a decent income through lacrosse, thanks to his social media following and several endorsement deals. [27] Nonetheless, the Rabil brothers aspired to empower lacrosse players to turn the game into a viable profession and pursue it as a full-time career. [27] The league’s first season began on June 1, 2019, with 8 teams taking part in the league. As well as being the founder of the league, Paul Rabil began his playing career in the PLL with Atlas Lacrosse Club. [28] Paul was traded to the Boston Cannons in 2021 alongside a sixth overall pick in the 2021 Entry Draft in exchange for a ninth overall pick in the 2021 Entry Draft, the eighth overall pick in the 2021 College Draft, and a first-round pick in the 2022 College Draft. [28] Rabil finished his final season of play with the Boston Cannon in 2021 as he retired from the PLL after the season. [29] Rabil attributed his retirement as a player to his desire to focus on the business side of the PLL and to continue building the league as well as his numerous other business ventures. [29]

Business ventures

Rabil founded Rabil Ventures in 2016 with his brother, Mike Rabil, and David Acker. [30] Rabil Ventures focuses on providing capital, advisory, and active operating expertise to the companies in which they invest. [31] The company invests in companies across a variety of sizes and industries, focusing on entrepreneurial companies in the sports, financial services, real estate, and health and wellness industries.[ citation needed ] Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company currently has 30 companies within its portfolio having managed 38 companies total throughout its life span. [30]

Rabil founded Rabil Companies in 2008. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, the company has around ten employees. [32] Rabil Companies is committed to advancing the sport of lacrosse in an authentic and socially impactful manner. [33] These goals are achieved through three primary strategies: creating exceptional lacrosse experiences for young players that prioritize player development, competition, and thought leadership; reducing barriers to entry, particularly in terms of socioeconomic status and skill level; and producing high-quality content that showcases the organization's story and the individuals who have dedicated themselves to the sport. [34] Rabil Companies involves Rabil’s various ventures in order to grow the game of lacrosse. [33] Some of Rabil’s notable projects under Rabil Companies include The Paul Rabil Experience and Project Nine lacrosse training. [33]

Philanthropic work

Rabil started the Paul Rabil Foundation in 2011 with his brother, Mike, his mother, Jean Anne, and his father, Allan. [35] [36] The foundation was created by Rabil with the purpose of aiding children with learning disabilities as Paul suffered from Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and auditory processing disorder as a child. [37] The Paul Rabil Foundation creates various sports and academic programs to aid children with learning differences to overcome their difficulties inside the classroom. [37] On the academic front, the foundation has contributed scholarships to students with learning differences since 2011. [35] The foundation also focuses on aiding learning through sports and activities. [35] The Paul Rabil Foundation has donated equipment to local public schools, as well as forming lacrosse programs at different schools in New York, Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Massachusetts. [35]

Working alongside the PLL’s mission to continue to grow the game of lacrosse, Rabil noticed that many neighborhood and public parks typically include basketball courts, baseball fields, and soccer goals. [38] In order to grow the game of lacrosse, Rabil wants to donate goals to different parks in all 50 states, every year. [39] In doing this, Rabil is attempting to mitigate the barriers of entry to play the game of lacrosse and increase overall access to the game. [38]

Filmography

In 2022 Rabil and his brother Mike Rabil, starred in 'Fate of a Sport' a Disney ESPN Film documentary, directed by Michael Doneger, and produced by Matt Tolmach and Michael Doneger. [40]

Personal life

Rabil was formerly married to former lacrosse player Kelly Berger in 2014 to 2017. As of 2022, he is currently in a relationship with British actress Vanessa Kirby. [41]

Rabil previously held the record for the world's fastest lacrosse shot at 111 mph. This was later broken by Zak Dorn at a competition in 2014. [42] [43]
