-February 25th, 2019- Too many lacrosse players are still training like bodybuilders. All over twitter I see updates from pro players saying they are going to crush chest and back today. Or even worse that they are really looking forward to training their arms that day, which always seems to be a Friday oddly enough!! […]…
-February 22nd, 2019- I recently wrote a blog titled ‘The Worst Fitness Test For Lacrosse” where I stated my dislike of the 2 Mile Run test. It is the least specific test to lacrosse that is used by way too many teams and programs as a means to measure their players Conditioning. Never in lacrosse […]…
-February 20th, 2019- I make my living as a Strength Coach, which means that I’m all for physical testing for lacrosse. I think it’s important for athletes to know how much they can Hang Clean or how many Chin Ups they can do. Single Leg Strength: Test It! Bench Press, which is my least favorite […]…
-February 15th, 2019- The Stability Ball Push Up is a great exercise that I find myself prescribing much more lately for my athletes. I got away from it for awhile but have since returned to using it more frequently and am wondering why I ever stopped. I may make it look easy in the video […]…
-February 12th, 2019- 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 […]…

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 […]…
-January 31st, 2019- Tom Schreiber is arguably the best lacrosse player on the planet today and luckily for me he plays in the NLL for the Toronto Rock. He just released the 1st instalment of a series he is doing with Sideline Swap titled “On the Road”. Check it out below. You don’t need super […]…
-October 25th, 2017- Last week I posted a blog that included a video by Paul Rabil describing the various levels of training for lacrosse and what the goals should be. Here is another video with some good descriptions of what a training program should look like or include for a young lacrosse player by Jay […]…
-October 16th, 2017- I don’t need to add anything to this video. Paul Rabil is the biggest name in lacrosse and also one of the best athletes in lacrosse. Take his advice! And if you’re an older lacrosse player and interested in business or personal development I highly recommend his Podcast “Suiting Up” where […]…
-October 4th, 2017- Like always I was surfing the internet yesterday and like always I find something that I just don’t agree with. It was a video of a guy squatting while standing on a Stability Ball and it reminded me of just how stupid some things are. I’ve had talks before with lacrosse players […]…
