-March 4th, 2021- Just a quick video of our training today with some of the Toronto Rock lacrosse players. Single leg strength is key as a lacrosse player. If you can Back Squat 500lbs but can’t do 1 Single Leg Squat, you aren’t strong and functional. You may be strong, but that doesn’t mean athletic. […]…
-October 29th, 2019- The hip is the biggest joint in the body and therefore the most important. It is a joint that we want to be mobile as tight hips is what leads to a sore back or tight hamstrings/groin. Most athletes present in what’s called Anterior Pelvic Tilt. As you can see from the […]…
-August 29th, 2019- Here is a stretch that I do with every lacrosse player I train before every single workout, practice, or game.

By Sean Holmes -January 15th, 2016- Another mobility drill that you should be doing before every lacrosse workout, game, and practice to have you moving better and ready to perform at your best.

By Wayne Burke -December 29th, 2015- I love the holiday season. Lax players everywhere are posting on social media all their new heads, mesh kits and other gear they got for Christmas talking about how sick their stick is or how they can’t wait to get back playing. The new year means there is only […]…
By Sean Holmes -December 10th, 2015- Reducing the likelihood of injury of my lacrosse players is my number 1 job. It may be by increasing strength, teaching proper movement mechanics, or by improving flexibility and joint mobility.
