Hey there guys and girls.  This is the full episode of this weeks lacrosse goalie QnA.

Check it out:

Ladder Drills

Why I don’t like them.

Why I like them.

You can get that work done more appropriately doing other things.

If you have to do them…you may as well get good at them.

Use it as a tool for your athlete to adopt a mindset that they can learn anything.

When people can’t coach…they just resort to “more”.  It’s actually very low on the totem pole of coaching abilities.  Submissive.

Impassioned plea not to waste your money.

Why I’m not allowing posts looking for camps or recommendations for coaches.

Playing other sports

Becoming an athlete who plays the lacrosse goalie position.

But my kid just likes playing goalie/lacrosse.

Why other sports aren’t as cool.

Gymnastics.

Crossfit kids

Qualified SnC coach

Pilates

Yoga

Today on our weekly lacrosse goalie QnA I got pretty emotional talking about some of our goalies who’ve had some great success recently and why sticking to the work will help you reach your goals.

After not one but TWO conversations with Division One lacrosse goalies I had to fill people in on why the problems don’t go away when you reach the D1 level.  In fact, you may find that things haven’t changed at all.

I also answered a question by a lacrosse coach who is also a Pastor down in Orlando, Florida.  He’s starting a brand new lacrosse program and wanted some advice on how to make it work.

And finally, I discussed the mechanical differences between the differnt types of goalies and how you can coach it so you don’t mess anyone up.  

Enjoy!

It’s the time of year where lacrosse goalies want to get ready for lacrosse season quickly.

You may have been playing all winter or taken time off.

It doesn’t really matter what you’ve done up until this point because most goalies still feel a bit nervous going into any season.  Will you be as good as last year? Will you be better? Will you remember how to make saves? Will the coach pick you to be the starter?

None of these questions matter as much as what you DO between now and the start of your season.

So here goes, Coach Edwards’ tips for getting ready for the fast approaching lacrosse season:

Getting ready to take a break this winter can makes some goalies feel a bit weird.  It may even be a bit stressful. But not to worry, Coach Edwards will set you straight.  Whether you're talking a lot of time off, or training right through Christmas and into the spring, we'll get you sorted.

Also, Coach Edwards talks a lot about the Lexi Shield.  How it can help you, but how it may also be setting you up for failure.  Have a listen.

I nearly lost my mind when one of my goalies from Australia sent me a video from US Lacrosse with some really...um...how you say..."lame" drills with some horrible advice.

So in today's audio, we talked a ton about proper drills.  Progression. Specificity.  And other scientific principles that lacrosse goalie coaches need to understand in order to help their goalies, no matter what the level, and stop wasting their time!

David Lasday has been helping communities come together for over a decade.  When he got involved with the sport of lacrosse in 2010 I don't even think he realized the impact he was going to have on the sport of lacrosse, and beyond.

Israel lacrosse is growing inside its country, and beyond but it's bringing Arab and Israeli athletes through the sport we love.

I reached out the David to learn more about what Israel lacrosse was all about, how it's growing, and the challenges the program is going through as it helps grow the game of lacrosse globally.  

I know you'll enjoy today's call just as much as I did.  

This week we're talking about how to have your best showcase event or tryout ever.  Why talking about overinflated shot velocities is hurting our goalies.  And how to get better at low shots.

In this week's lacrosse goalie questions and answers we covered some great topics:

1) We're starting to see more and more protection being worn in the professional lacrosse ranks. I've been preaching that lacrosse goalies need more protection for...oh...twenty-five years! Seriously. And it looks like the tide is turning. From Alex Kaut of the Long Island Lizards. Scotty Rodgers in the PLL and to Adam Ghittleman, also of the PLL starting to sell a line of shin guards for lacrosse goalies. It's a start!

2). Coach Edwards talks about footwork for lacrosse goalies and why ladder drills really aren't the way to improve footwork when it comes to goalies.

3). We also covered how to incorporate lacrosse goalies into team practices so you don't feel like their standing off on their own doing nothing. It takes a little bit of creativity and management, but even if you're a lone coach with twenty kids on your team, you can still do it effectively.

Goalie Questions Live! This week Coach Edwards answers some great questions from lacrosse parents, goalies and coaches, including an email sent in from a parent asking for some help deciphering what their local lacrosse goalie coach means.

The first question has to do with getting a lacrosse goalie stick strung and why it’s important to:

1. Find the right person who can do it. It’s NOT just about rebound control.
2. Why your goalie should start to learn how to string their own stick. It’s NOT about delegation.
3. And how many lacrosse sticks should a lacrosse goalie actually have?

Lacrosse Goalie Question #2: Can Hockey Goalies Make The Transition to Lacrosse Goalie?

1. Why there are more advantages than you think.
1. Understanding how to “block” the ball versus trying to catch everything.
2. How protection helps you to stop more shots.
3. The art of cutting down the angle.
4. The balance between coming out and making a play and staying in the net.

How to find the right lacrosse goalie coach for your goalie.
1. They must understand Physical Ability
2. They must keep you protected so you can learn quickly.
3. They must get you up to speed fast but not too fast.
4. 4. Lead int the email above.
