Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:24:00 +0000 http://laxallstars.com/?p=27798#comment-9967 I absolutely agree with all comments contained in this article. Both my sons play Lacrosse in So. Orange County Ca. We see too many helmet to helmet hits. This is not, I repeat not toughness. This is just plain & blatant dispregard for the sport! Toughness is a light switch that some are born with. Game time arrives & that light switch should be flipped to ON! Play hard, try hard and if you loose, loose playing hard!

They are working hard to drive the defense to the offense while following the ball at all times. A tough player listens to the Gaolie after a score to see what they can do better. That being said, the goalie should still feel like the ball is their responsiblity and not listen to people saying a 50% save ratio is good enough. Anyone, including the goalie, not striving for 100% from himself and his team is not helping either.

Great point that attackmen become defenders as soon as the ball is turned over. If offense starts with the goalie, then defense should start with the attack. Same principles apply: positioning and discipline (no sloppy checks or careless penalties).

Fantastic article might as well get young kids doing this too.

I coach hs varsity and see style becoming far more important than substance to many young players, especially in non-hotbed regions.I forwarded this to as many young laxers as I could. Thank you for posting this.

Nothing said “welcome to the mcla” (although it was the usl-mdia back then, same thing though) like having to match up with him as a true freshman with little to no experience. great article.

That is some SERIOUS old school steez right there. well done!

Great article, I love the point about “defense wins championships and attackman become defenders when the ball switches possesion” and about tough kids being great teammates. Our sport needs a lot more tough guys than the fashion models we have running around now.
