The Secret to Becoming a Great Lacrosse Player (SURPRISING!) 

The first ingredient is the one you are born with: ability. Great lacrosse players have that 6th sense, that great 360 degree vision, great players use their ears, they listen, they hear. In short, great players can be formed, but great players do things never seen before, and most importantly, they love lacrosse. I grew up watching Jimmy Lewis play. He went to the Wall and perfected his game. I would follow him like some stalker, down to Uniondale High School. He would play all kinds of games against the Wall. I became a Wall devotee, playing with both hands and a wooden stick. I made myself a great stick handler. The hours at the Wall gave me ultra-stong hands, arms and wrists. My favorite drill was shooting the ball as hard as I could and catching it behind my ear. Jump rope, go to the Wall, and most importantly, get the job done in the classroom, I forgot to mention, lacrosse players are smarter.

As I said before, this channel needs a major blowup

I totally agree, I was a 4 spot a year guy. Won 13 Championships in 5 different spot and went pro in 1. I’m 45 now, and having my first training of of a lax player. You need the other spots also to understand the spot your Focusing on better. And it helps you in way just doing one spot can never do alone.

Either play basketball or hockey aside with lacrosse

This channel is sooooo underrated, it deserves way more attention! The videos are put together so well

Chris Hogan played as well, NFL player now. You should do a piece on Bill Bellichick and his love for LAX.

I think an alternative idea to those that really wanna expand on their lax game would be to branch out to other athletes that play in other positions, figure out how their minds work, how they play lacrosse. Figure out new ways to play the game. Dont just keep playing the same game of lacrosse because im sure theres players out there that did only play lacrosse. But like for me, i play chess, soccer, lax. Soccer helps with my footwork and positioning, motion, agility and stuff like that. Chess with strategy. Theres so many more things in life you can apply to sports and such. You just have to learn to be creative. While yeah sure playing a sport will help you, so can other things. Videogames are very competitive and strategic. They can require mechanical skill too. Weightlifting alone teaches technique.

Started playing lacrosse for the first time this year in college. Prior to this I’ve played soccer basketball tennis baseball and football and they have helped me tremendously compete at a higher level

I absolutely agree with you bro,I'm 14 years old right now,and I started to play lacrrose this year and expect lacrrose I play hockey and basketball and it's very helping me to get better at lacrrose

Started playing lacrosse this year as a sophomore in highschool playing basketball and soccer before helped be tremendously learning slides like aj etc, and Switches and zone defense.

thanks for the tips, doing a few lacrosse camps this summer and maybe a season next opening so these videos are helpful. (going into 8th grade).

Hey thanks dude, your videos are really motivating. Keep up the good work!

I think this is a great video and you covered everything very well, I also agree with what you're saying. Although, there's definitely the one-off single Specialty athlete who excels only given one sport training. I excelled in every sport I played at every single level of the sport because I played multiple Sports my entire life from a very young age. I played soccer and baseball since i could walk. I picked up my first lacrosse stick at grade 6 and walked straight to varsity my freshman year of HighSchool.

Love the vids

I play hockey and lacrosse

My son wrestles in the winter and football in the fall. Wrestling has helped his explosiveness and endurance. Also has helped his mental game. Football honestly has helped his Dodge and vision of the field and reading what defenders are doing. I wish more wrestlers here played lacrosse because those kids are all gas no brakes.

I’ve played baseball(10 years 4-12) football( 13 and 16) and soccer(1 year 10)…but now I’m a junior in highschool and tbh I can’t play multiple sports I just don’t have the time…so I’m just focusing on lacrosse.

what is I play lacrosse year round? Like I play club in the summer then I play fall ball then box and then the regular seasom

well its a good thing that i all ready play soccar

Yooooooooooo I was the 1000th like!!

This is great advice but I already play a lot of sports so what do u recommend

You say many studies have shown way too often for not even including one source in the description

Fax

I’m in high school and I want to play lacrosse but I’ve never had the opportunity to play but I applied to a school that has lacrosse will I be able to start my lacrosse career in high school

What if you're unable to play another competitive team sport?

I wanna play other sports but don’t know where to start, I’ve never played anything other than lacrosse and am not good at other sports. I’m at the age where you have to try out for everything and don’t think I’ll make any of the school teams

Hustle

Cool

would playing cross country help with lacrosse? i play cross country in fall and lacrosse in spring

3:30 me doing lacrosse, boxing, and powerlifting...literally just injury

Does swimming count as another sport because I do lacrosse and swimming and was thinking about getting in to golf but idk

Cardio and Confidence. You should aspire to run the whole game and be that “go to” player that everyone wants to pass to and every opposing coach wants to double team.

If I have a lacrosse practice every day do I still do another sport?

What about football in volleyball

Well that’s great because I’ve played over 5 different sports!

another thing it does is speed and rexlexes

I think skiing has the same benifits as basketball

Funny I clicked because I play for the school on the thumbnail

I hope that lacrosse will make my kids better hockey players and their hockey skills will make them better lacrosse players. 😂

The secret is being a fucking savage

Good video, doesn't apply to soccer though. Cross training develops athleticism but that's not an equal advantage across all sports.

So don’t practice alot

Fact: baseball doesn’t help you improve at any other sports

You want to be great at lacrosse, watch this video haha.....from someone who clearly isn't good at lacrosse. This kid is a donk
