Through Boyle’s Eyes: Scouting
Watching game film has been a constant practice throughout Ryan Boyle’s career, and in part one of this two part YouTube series, Ryan explains how to scout an opponent.
Quick Release Shooting
When the ball moves, the goalie moves with it, so I want to get the ball in and out of my stick quickly to catch the goalie out of position. It’s imperative that my body and stick are pre set.
Ground Balls With A Long Stick
Scooping up groundballs with a pole is becoming more and more important at every level of the game. Effectively throwing takeaway checks is ultimately ineffective if you cannot then pick the ball up and push transition.
The All Important Split Dodge
When I was twelve years old I went to my first lacrosse camp. One of the all time greats —Mark Millon—was a coach there. He spoke in front of the entire camp one afternoon in an old gymnasium because it was raining outside. What he told us: “If you’re gonna learn one dodge in your lacrosse life, make it a split dodge.”
