-March 13th, 2012- It’s widely known that Off-Season training is when you can make the most gains. You can dedicate all your time and energy into training to improve for the coming season. You don’t have practices or games that interfere with your training schedule. All lacrosse players at the highest levels spend countless hours […]…
-February 29th, 2012- There are 2 types of injuries in lacrosse: contact injuries (which are a result of a check or collision) and non-contact injuries (like a muscle pull or sprained ankle). There is no injury in lacrosse that is 100% preventable, but you can reduce the risk of injury based on your training. Contact […]…
-February 27th, 2012- Last week it was reported in Sports Illustrated that San Francisco Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong would be out 10 days after injuring himself lifting weights. The #1 Rule I have as a Strength Coach (that I adopted from top Strength Coach Mike Boyle) is Do No Harm. Nothing I do or program […]…
-February 23rd, 2012- Yesterday I came across a blog on LaxAllStars.com about the 10 ways to become a college ready lacrosse player. I was quickly skimming the list as I was reading it on my phone so I just read the 10 points and not the breakdown that was written on each topic. The list […]…
-February 21st, 2012- This past weekend I was interviewed for the NLL Tonight! Some of the topics covered were about how I got started training lacrosse players, what’s the most important part of training, and how programs are individualized for my athletes.

-February 14th, 2012- I have worked with a lot of High School Lacrosse players, and I would say that every single one of them had aspirations of playing at a higher level. That higher level is the NCAA, and more Canadians than ever are playing south of the border. Skill wise I am sure the […]…
-February 6th, 2012- Those that know me will tell you I am not a fan of CrossFit. I have posted as much on Twitter and included some CrossFit videos of things I find utterly ridiculous previously. My thought on Crossfit has always been that it includes some great exercises, just applied horribly. I stand by […]…
-February 3rd, 2012- I hate training in a Commercial Gym. However I also love it! I see some of the greatest things happen there, like someone doing Curls in a Squat Rack. Today’s Friday, so I’m positive when I head to the gym later today that 90% of the guys there will only be training […]…
-February 1st, 2012- Yesterday InsideLacrosse.com posted a GREAT Fitness article. It was about Unilateral Training and it’s importance to the sport of lacrosse. I have long preached the importance of Unilateral Training, specifically mentioning it in my article Train Movements, Not Muscles. Unilateral Training is basically single arm or single leg training. Meaning instead of […]…
-January 24th, 2012- The Agility Ladder (some call it a Speed Ladder) is a tool that you can use to help develop quickness. Overall, I think people place too much value on the use of Ladder Drills. There is no need to spend 20 minutes performing every ladder drill you know in a single training […]…
