In this episode, I’m breaking down goalie gear in the most honest way possible—what you actually need, what’s helpful but not essential, and what’s totally overhyped. Whether you’re brand new to the crease or trying to upgrade your setup, I’m sharing the exact gear I trust, the stuff I’ve learned to skip, and the pieces that truly make a difference in your confidence and safety.

I walk through the must-haves like helmets, chest protectors, gloves, sticks, and cleats, then talk about optional gear like shin guards, padding, knee protection, and the things that helped me personally as I gained experience. I also get real about the fancy shafts, expensive mesh, and flashy accessories that look cool—but won’t magically make you a better goalie.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by gear choices or pressured to buy the “top-tier” stuff, this episode will help you figure out what’s worth it and what isn’t. At the end of the day, the goalie makes the save—not the brand name.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most underrated tools for goalies: game/practice film. I walk you through how I personally break down film, what I look for when watching my own games, and how studying shooters can give you a real edge before game day.

I talk about why film matters so much for goalies, how to evaluate your positioning, timing, resets, and clears, and how to turn what you see on film into actual improvements at practice. I also share a real game example where studying shooter tendencies directly led to a game-saving stop—and why it’s just as important to avoid making assumptions and always read the ball.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by film or unsure how to use it effectively, this episode will help you simplify the process and start using film as a tool to build confidence and consistency in the crease.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact goalie drills that have helped me build better footwork, balance, and reaction time—no matter what level I was playing at. These are simple, repeatable drills you can do at home, with a partner, or at practice, and they’re the foundation of everything I do in the crease today.

I walk you through three of my favorites: the Mirror Drill for tightening your stance and movement, Walk the Line for clean and consistent footwork, and Partner Juggling for quick hands and sharper focus. I also share a personal story about how these drills changed the way I trained and why they made such a big difference in my game.

If you’re looking for practical, effective goalie work that actually translates to game-day confidence, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the side of goalie that doesn’t involve hand speed, drills, or footwork — the mindset. I’m sharing three tools that have helped me build real confidence, handle pressure after a goal, and stay mentally tough when things aren’t going my way in the crease.

You’ll hear how I use a simple pregame routine to lock in, how I reset after giving up a goal, and why practicing under stress has made game-day pressure feel easier. These are tricks I use personally, and I hope they help you the same way they’ve helped me.

In this first episode, I introduce Fearless in the Crease and share the story behind why I started this podcast for women’s lacrosse goalies. I talk about my own journey in the crease, what makes goalie the hardest position on the field, and why it’s also the most rewarding. From the pressure, the bruises, and the leadership demands to the confidence and adrenaline that come with every save—this episode sets the tone for what the show is all about.

Whether you’re a new goalie, a seasoned vet, or someone who just loves the position, this intro lays the foundation for future drills, mindset tips, gear talks, and conversations with other goalies and coaches.
