-August 30th, 2012- Here’s a great new Core exercise I’ve been using lately. It’s called a TRX Whack-A-Mole because it reminded me of playing that game at arcades or amusement parks (I was never in to it, more of a Galaga guy myself). This exercise trains both anti-rotation and anti-flexion of the core (for more […]…
-August 16th, 2012- As a lacrosse player you need to move extremely well. Whether it’s how fast you run, change directions, or just range of motion when shooting, how you move is extremely important. One reason many people don’t move as well as they could is due to a lack of mobility in their joints. […]…
-August 2nd, 2012- The Olympics are in full swing and I have been watching the Olympic Weightlifting competition as much as possible. I am a fan of these lifts, and use variations of them in all my lacrosse training programs that I create for my athletes. However today these lifts are coming under fire by […]…
-July 20th, 2012- You have to love how a website can try to shape a story to say something it doesn’t when it benefits it’s Corporate Sponsor/Partner! I hope everyone is aware that Inside Lacrosse has a relationship with Reebok and therefore has to promote it. I found an article on ILGear.com titled CrossFit Rehab […]…
-July 17th, 2012- I can’t tell you how many times a day I tell athletes to flex their butt. It’s not just for looking good in a pair of jeans (although that’s a nice little side effect!). It’s by far the most important muscle you have to improve your sports performance. Here’s a great article […]…
-July 10th, 2012- You’ve been told for years that you always need to be on your toes. Being on your toes is being ready. Like Sergeant Frank Drebin famously said in the movie The Naked Gun 33 1/3, ‘like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes!’ (I […]…
-July 6th, 2012- This week I was lucky enough to spend a day working at Dan Dawson’s Revival Lacrosse Camp in Oakville. I work with the kids for an hour, going through a proper warm up then do some agility training, finishing with some ladder work and a competition for prizes. And it reminded me […]…
-June 27th, 2012- I’m at a local establishment here in Guelph right now watching the Portugal-Spain Euro Cup Semi-Final match. It reminded me that years ago when I was first looking for Lacrosse Training programs for myself I would often find suggestions that I just find a Soccer Training program and complete that. After all, […]…
-June 22nd, 2012- A few weeks ago IL Gear had a great article by Mike Mejia about how ‘bootcamp’ style training isn’t the best option for lacrosse players. Yesterday he posted Part 2 of the series and I highly recommend you check it out here: Unhappy Campers Part 2 In the article Mike provides an […]…
-June 19th, 2012- Speed Kills! Whether it’s winning the race for a ball or sprinting past your opponent, speed is extremely important for playing at the highest level of lacrosse. Acceleration is a skill. It can be taught and improved through strength and technique training. However if you really want to be fast in game […]…
