Lacrosse is a weird sport.

You get to whack other players with metal poles, you run constantly without any breaks, and you use a small rubber ball that’s basically like an airborne hockey puck. You have to have great speed, endurance, strength, and coordination. 

If you’re goal is to be generally fit, you can learn a lot by looking at the training practices of lacrosse players.

In today’s show, you’re going to learn how one lacrosse coach is taking his sport to a new level. You'll learn how doctor and elite level lacrosse coach Joe Lightfoot is using strength and conditioning exercises, recovery tactics, and a slightly different coaching philosophy to help his players reach the highest level of their sport.

You’ll also learn Joe's best tips for coaching that you can use for own training. If you’re a coach or trainer you can also use these tips when working with your athletes.

You'll find that Joe uses the same general strategy that we use here on imprüvism — he believes in using small, consistent changes to master the basics first, and then and only then, focusing on the smaller details of whatever it is you’re trying to achieve.
