Are Hey guys.
Jonathan Edwards Coach Edwards
with lacrosse goalie tips
dot.com and lacrosse goalie
University dot.com.
Hope you're having a good time
at the start of school and you
know it's interesting this time
of year because people are
taking a count into account
what it is they've done over
the summer.
New school year starts you
know new goals new dreams.
Those sorts of things which is
really really really cool.
So as I mentioned last week
I've been working on a book
hoping to have that published
pretty soon here.
It's called an athlete's guide
to winning in sports and
life. You can check out over
athlete specific dot.
And while you're over there
sign up for the newsletter.
I've got free audio for you.
And you can check that out.
And and I hope
that when the book is ready
that you'll buy one and you'll
give it to an athlete in your
life not necessarily lacrosse
goalie but any athlete in your
life who is looking
for ways to improve and really
make their athletic dreams
happen. So hey
this week new goalie's
welcome from the newsletter
from Winter Park Florida
Potomac Potomac Maryland
Kings Park New York Birmingham
Michigan sweet and Penfield
New York. Love that the game.
Lacrosse is growing and always
loved here and you know from
people in the traditional you
know neighborhoods like New
York but then Florida Michigan
you know Ontario those
of those more far
away places so it's pretty
cool.
So this week's question comes
from a dad as Dear Coach
Edwards.
While the summer is over my son
has played in two skills based
camps to showcase events
and two tournaments with his
club team. Now what.
He's a sophomore in high school
and has the Division 1 dream
but he's not sure where he
wants to go. What's the next
step.
Great question.
So first answer is
grab a copy of my book
which is a guide
to lacrosse recruiting you'd
find out put the link below.
It's also on the product page
on the Web site.
But in that book you'll find
everything that I tell a young
goalie.
But you know first and foremost
you know when I think about
this question it's
your question is retroactive
right you've done all this work
and now you're wondering if the
work was like the right stuff.
It's better off being proactive
when you pick all these camps.
And one of the things that I
tell a lot of goalies to do is
that you need to take inventory
of your game.
So while your goalie may
have the dream of playing
Division 1 playing lacrosse
Division 1.
Are they worthy of
being a Division 1 lacrosse
goalie and so the first step to
look is like you know yeah are
they the best in their team.
Probably in this case are they
the best in their league.
Are they the best in their
state.
Right. Are they best in their
region.
You know are they the one of
the best in the country you
know the only way you find that
out is
by doing the approach that I
did when I was in high school.
Like my goal was to be the best
goalie on my team.
And when that was done I wanted
to be the best goalie in the
league. And when that was done
I wanted to get away from my
league and go out into these
other areas to test
myself against other goalies.
So if I went to a skills based
camp I while I was learning
lacrosse goalie specific skills
and you know in a multi
position environment right.
There's middies and defense and
all the stuff I
was I wanted to make the
All-Star team at that event.
Right.
And then I wanted to
get around other players other
positions you know get around
better shooters you
know challenge myself at that
next level.
So while you've done all these
things.
OK.
There's a lot of things to
come out of it. One
did your goalie
find out what it is they need
to work on right now.
What's interesting is some of
these events I understand
there's no contact between
coaches and
athletes you know college
coaches and athletes.
But this is where your
coach on your team.
You know if you're on a club
team needs to be telling you
this is what needs
to be worked on and you need to
then take that information
and then improve it.
One of the worst things I see
is when people invest a lot of
money in a showcase event
and they're just trying to get
seen when they have no reason
to be seen yet.
Right. They're just you know
the idea is not to get seen.
The idea is to be seeable.
Right. You want to be good so
good that you're worthy
of being seen and it's in
people flip that around a lot.
It's like they're going to
these events trying to get
seen. Now you've got to be
seeable.
So start there.
You have to be when it comes to
now recruiting from
these events and to kind of
make it to the next level.
You have to be proactive.
Just like what I mentioned to
Kim in last week's
last week's blog post.
You know you have your goalie
has to take the time to know
where they want to go to
school. OK.
One of the worst things I see
is one goalies play what I call
the Match.com game right
where they put up a recruiting
video and or they
you fill out.
They all like lacrosse recruits
truth there's not lacrosse
lacrosse recruits or any of
those services they put up
an ad in hope somebody will
swipe right and like them.
Right.
A goalie needs to be proactive
in where they want to go to
school.
Right so that's you know the
first step is finding a school
that's a good fit.
You know you may come from
a small town and
want to play at Ohio State
and not realize that it's like
60000 people there.
Right. So it's like a city you
know that may not be a good fit
for you. Right so just blindly
wanting to go to a division one
school is really not.
It's really not the approach
you need to take. OK.
So keep that in mind
also have a plan
for your recruiting.
Right so yes you did all these
things this summer.
But what was the plan.
What were you trying to
do. Were you trying you
know did you go to a skills
based camp at a school
that you may want to attend.
You did.
Like when I was growing up I
wanted to go to Cornell so I
went to the Cornell lacrosse
camp learned some of the best
stuff I ever learned and also
got on that campus and had a
chance to see myself and feel
what it was like. Did I like
it. I want to be there you know
and those sorts of things.
That was one thing at the
Syracuse camp.
Why did I go to Syracuse camp.
Well I wanted to play Division
1 and Syracuse was the hot team
at the time so I went to
Syracuse camp but that probably
wasn't the best choice
right. But I did learn that
Syracuse wasn't a school that I
wanted to go to.
Right. So no offense to people
in Syracuse or people who go to
Syracuse. But the point is I
went to that camp to get around
the coaches to get around
a school and see if it was
going to be the right fit for
me as a as a person.
So.
So take inventory of your game.
So your goalie did all these
great events this summer but
what did they
learn like what did you come
out of this summer with.
You know what deficiencies does
your goalie need to work on.
You know are they too slow.
Is there for or bad are there
is their outlet passing not
good.
Do they have trouble reading
the shooter. Like what.
You know what is it.
Are they good.
You know with time and room
shots or shots on the move
you know those types of
questions you have to take
inventory of and decide
what it is we need to work on
so that we can be a
seeable recruit able
across going.
OK. So thanks for the great
question this week.
If you're in you know one of
things I recommend to everybody
is take advantage
of lacrosse goal University
