Thank you, Luise. Yes, I've been working on a new video about cutting tactics against zone defense. I've been working on it for a while, and I hope to finish it in the coming weeks. Thanks again.

Thanks Sally! I’m trying to get inspired to make some more.

Please do!!

Thank you, Walt. I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks Walt. I'm working on Part 3 now. It's about cutting when your defender turns her head to look at the ball. Hopefully I'll post that in the next day or two.

Thanks for watching. I'm trying to help young players build their lax IQ. I'm concerned about our sport's "leaky bucket" problem. We have a lot of kids who try the sport (because lacrosse incredibly fast and fun), but a lot of those kids (boys and girls) drop out pretty quickly. How do we keep more of them in the sport? Our problem is that it takes a while to learn the stick skills (catching and throwing on the run, for example) that they need. But if a young player can also develop lacrosse fluency (i.e., lax IQ) earlier, my hope is that it will enable that player to enjoy their lacrosse game while their stick skills are developing. Lacrosse IQ also gives an average sized player a way to compete against bigger, faster, stronger opponents. So, why not try to help them learn the cerebral part of the game as early as possible, if that gives them a way to enjoy lacrosse and stops them from quitting early? Sorry for the manifesto. I just hope we, as coaches, realize that our main challenge is to find a way to keep our kids coming back season after season. If the players can't see themselves getting better, they'll probably drop out. It's usually not their fault. It's our fault as coaches.
