A few weeks ago Coach Edwards talked about angles and where a goalie should be standing in relation to a shooter's stick and not their body. This resulted in a lot of confusion from some parents and their goalies who had been coached incorrectly at an event this summer.

In today's episode, we'll talk about where a goalie should be lining up in relation to the shooter and what to do about it.

One of our lacrosse goalies on Instagram sent me a great clip of a women's lacrosse goalie making a great save.

Or was it a save?

In today's episode we'll discuss if this was a save or not and why that matters.

I got two emails this past month from frustrated lacrosse goalie sick of being told to change their stance. The question was, "What changes do I need to make that are going to make the biggest impact to my stance. I'm sick of tweaking!"

I hear ya. The conversation around lacrosse goalie stances has gotten so bastardized we will set the record straight. What do you need to change? How should you stand? Where should your hands and feet be? This is it...all you need to know no matter what your age.

We got an interesting question from a goalie mom who wonders, "What's the best way to make practice as painless as possible?"

While I understand where this question is coming from, we'll talk about why 'painless' isn't the goal. How much abuse should a lacrosse goalie actually be taking? What should be expected? What responsibility does the goalie have? What responsibility do the coaches have? And much more.

We had a rather heated discussion with a parent in a lacrosse 'hotbed' about how coaching in that hotbed limits lacrosse goalie potential.

The irony is that the first sign you are in a 'hotbed' is that you get offended about any criticism of your hotbed.

These discussions bore me to no end and yet they are exactly what limits lacrosse goalie potential in those areas. A further irony, when people in these areas think they produce the best lacrosse goalies when in fact, by looking at just a little bit of research, they don't.

We'll discuss. Sure to offend. Bring your popcorn.

US Lacrosse missed a tremendous opportunity when they removed the shin guard rule from women's lacrosse. And while some goalies are excited about the new rules, these are goalies who do NOT understand the use of equipment as a tool and are caught up in how things 'look' rather than how they could perform.

In today's talk, Coach Edwards will go deep on this topic. Why coaches and administrators are complicit and being lazy when it comes to player development and sport progression. Why the 'it makes me slow' argument is over. And why this reeks of the discussion that football is having around concussions.

US Lacrosse has retarted the sport yet again.

Many lacrosse goalies migrate to the position because they don't have the best stick skills.

They might not be a great athlete.

They may like the safety of the crease.

But what kind of stick skills do they REALLY need and how to we create that.

Lacrosse people say this a lot:

"The goalie is the quarterback of the field!"

"They are a second coach out there!"

But are they, really? Have you been prepared for that? Probably not. We'll talk about what to do and how to make that goalie the coach on the field. (If they are ready for it)

Whenever a lacrosse goalie makes the jump from Junior High School to High School (or from any team for that matter) it can be a bit stressful.

Today, we're going to talk about what a goalie can do to get ahead of it and not have such a stressful transition and not blow it in the process.

I got a great question from a lacrosse mom who doesn't actually have a goalie. She has a daughter who plays defense!

Her question was, "What can my daughter do as a defender to help her goalie out on the field.

I almost cried when I read that question. We'll talk about what your defense can do to help your goalie. What your coaches can do to help facilitate that, and much more.
