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.
