Program Outline:

As lacrosse continues to grow, so does the pool of competition. To excel, an athlete needs to improve technique and mechanics on multiple fronts. It is not possible to master or see real improvements on skills by simply seeing it done correctly. To truly improve any skill, the athlete must practice skill sets at a level slightly above their current abilities. By slowing movement patterns down to teach the small details, then speeding them up once a technique is corrected, the athlete can learn and improve at an accelerated pace. This is called deep practice. Deep Practice is the foundation of this program.

Athletes will be in groups no larger than 6. Groups will be formed based on gender, position, age, and skill level. Small group training is beneficial to all athletes involved. Athletes feed off of each other’s energy, the small group setting is the best way to learn and hone new skills.

Goal Setting: First, we must define what it is we are working towards. Each athlete will set realistic long and short term goals. This process includes a self evaluation where the athlete will reflect upon their strengths and weaknesses.

Skill Development: Each athlete possesses different physical and mental attributes that contribute to who they are as an athlete. This program teaches athletes to maintain a growth mindset when approaching any given skill. It’s not just about repetitions, it’s about repetitions in a state of deep practice.
