 Best Recruiting Advice Ever!
 
I always tell my JM3 Athletes that if they can learn how to master off ball 2man game, not only will their offensive production / their team's offensive production improve, but they can prove to college coaches that they have as skill that most prospects do not have.  
 
Why is this the best recruiting advice ever?  Because the best thing you can do for your recruiting chances is to get better at lacrosse.  And the easiest way to get better is to scale your knowledge and usage of off ball 2man games!
 
College recruiters will always covet the player who can breakdown...

Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast

Scotty Marr, Head Coach University of Albany: Scotty is one of my favorite people in the sport and it was a blast to have this conversation about a myriad of topics: his practice set lists (lots of Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam!),  thoughts on the power of box lacrosse and how it shapes Canadian and Native lacrosse players, the brilliance of Blaze Riorden and that UAlbany, known for it's scoring, could be known as "Goalie U" with three players in the PLL, and finally a great discussion on what Coach Marr is looking for in recruiting.  I think you will love this podcast, click here to listen!

Mindset Skill of the Week | S.T.O.P

Mikey Thompson, Head Coach at Christopher Newport works with me and JM3 Sports and is a regular contributor to this blog.  One of Mikey's passions is teaching and practicing "Mindfulness."  I hope you enjoy! 
 
The informal practice of mindfulness is when we choose to be mindful in everyday moments throughout the course of the day. Examples: washing our hands, doing the dishes, going for a walk. There are limitless opportunities! 
 
 
STOP
  • Stop present moment and cultivate our pause button. Building these, "stops" into our day can move us away from habitual reactions and towards more graceful ...

Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcasts

Andrew Gvozden, Co-Founder GoalieSmith, I loved this podcast!  GoalieSmith has become the premier goalie training outfit in the world and they train most of the best, if not all the best goalies around. Andrew shared his journey from Severna Park, Maryland up to Hofstra where he became an All-American goalie, through the genesis of GoalieSmith.  We got into details about his philosophy on training goalies, stance, arc, the importance of reading situations, "Dictating" (his word for baiting), goalies need to be great lacrosse players, and finally college lacrosse recruiting!  Find out what college coaches want in a goalie!

Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast with Stu Armstrong, The Talent Equation

I started listening to Talent Equation Podcasts several years ago and have found Stu Armstrong's guests to be some of the most impactful I've ever come across.  Since Stu and I both have a podcast, we sort of interviewed each other to set the stage and then just had what Stu called a "Coaches Jam Session" of sorts.

This is one of the few podcasts that I've done...

High Performance Thought Leader Erik Korum

In this podcast, I have a fascinating conversation with High Performance Thought Leader Dr. Erik Korem. Below is a quote from Erik High Performance:

"High performance synchronizes the physical, psychological, technical, and tactical components to improve performance outcomes. When I was coaching, our mission statement was, "To develop the most resilient and adaptable student-athletes that consistently obtain their performance potential."

Korem was the first High Performance coach in the USA and has spent his career working with college, pro, and olympic athletes.  Dr Korem has a PHD in how sleep...

Michigan Head Coach Kevin Conry joined me for a podcast this week which will be posted later this weekend / early next week!  It was a great lacrosse conversation!  We chatted about summer recruiting, PLL Lacrosse, and then took a deep dive into how Michigan uses analytics and data to make the best possible decisions.  Coach Conry and I talk 2man games, defending 2man games, how he uses Free Play to encourage competitiveness and creativity,  and much more!

Podcast This Week

Mike Murphy, Head Coach UPenn

In this podcast, I talk to Coach Murphy about how excited he is for the return of Penn Lacrosse after not competing since early 2020.  They had one of the best teams in the nation and were coming off a heartbreaking 2019 quarterfinal loss to eventual champion Yale. Penn was a top 10 team in 2020 before the pandemic set in, and he's poised to get the Quakers back up to the top of the rankings in 2022.

Despite the fact Penn couldn't compete in 2021, Murph was excited that his team made huge improvements in many areas of team and individual skills AND had fun.   The Penn staff creating a highly...

Pete Milliman, Head Coach Johns Hopkins

In the first podcast of season 4, I talk to Johns Hopkins Head Coach Pete Milliman about his lacrosse journey from growing up in Rochester, NY to becoming the head coach at Johns Hopkins last year. Milliman also discusses his offensive philosophies, what Hopkins likes to do on the defensive side of the ball, as well as what he looks for in recruits!

One of the most interesting parts of the conversation was before the podcast officially started when we were talking about Jeff Teat.  Coach Milliman described him as like a "Bounce back" that made the offense go by simply moving the ball to someone else as much or...
