Philipp showed me a youtube video. "If he was on your team", I said jokingly, "you guys would have to do a looot of push-ups."

Philipp = H/A/M
I = yours truly
he = H/T/M, although H/A/M would work too

This is a lacrosse-related puzzle. However, no in-depth knowledge of lacrosse rules or terminology is needed to solve it.

Time for the

********SPOILER********

The player-coaches of our men's team make the entire team do 10 push-ups when any player holds his lacrosse stick with one hand. So when Philipp showed me this video of Miles Moscato, a lacrosse player born with one hand, I joked that they would have to do a lot of push-ups if Miles was on their team.

Well done, Grip, RedWine and Galfisk for the groundwork, and Balin for the solve!
