  • This January, I presented on the main demo field at LaxCon. We've decided to give you the full, only slightly edited demo. It's filled with valuable drills, lessons, and insights that you can apply to your game. It's also the longest edit we've ever uploaded on my channel.

    I loved how you got the focus of the crowd by tossing lacrosse balls at them while you spoke. Such an underrated and super important part of coaching. Making sure you have their undivided attention before you speak, because you might be giving them the best coaching talk in the world, but it doesn't have any effect unless they are listening.

    Paul your the only athlete I've ever looked up to. I love lacrosse. I've played for 8 years and I know that lacrosse isn't as big as football in the majors, but you make lax so much better. Everyone All ways talks about foot ball and all the other sports. Wile I'm talking about lacrosse. 😂I am looking into going go one of you camps.

    Paul, I’ve played lacrosse for about 20 of my 37yrs of life. From youth to JuCo and then the All Marine team & now the Md police & Fire team. I wish i was as talented and driven as you are. What you are doing for the sport and for these young players is nothing short of admirable. You really are a class act sir! Truly top notch! Keep doing it pal!!!! Thank you!!

    Saw you in the dude perfect video. Never played lacrosse, was never even interested in lacrosse, grew up living breathing soccer... but your energy, your advice, your willingness to help others be the best is very inspiring. The passion for what you do is incredible. The kids that learn from you are lucky and posting your knowledge online for all to see is awesome

    That's a great way to look at it. Practice is for team planning and strategy and cohesiveness not getting better fundamentally. Now young teams obviously its both. But you get better and progress on your own time. I had coaches that were strict on what I could and could not do in all sports, and after awhile I showed I could do certain things. A whole summer I trained on basketball skills, dribbling, shooting, speed and it showed. I was a strong forward/center and proved to be an outside forward that could drive and was a ball handler instead of just a rebounder. Practice makes permanent. Start slow and get it perfect slowly and progress from their.

    Paul: I just saw your March LaxCon video. Really enjoyed it! I highly recommend that you contact Mr. Thomas House who I met many years ago when he was the Pitching Coach for the San Diego Padres and a part of the San Diego School of Baseball. He was (and still is) a visionary in the baseball world, and I believe that the "theory" you discussed in the video is very similar to what Mr. House discussed in 1983 when talking about the art and science of pitching.
    What I specifically remember him discussing was the overhand pitch versus the sidearm pitch. The shoulder position is the same in both instances: overhand, the shoulders are parallel to the ground and sidearm they are vertical to the ground (as best I can remember as that was 35 years ago). The throwing techniques are the same. ...Bottom line is that I really think that you need to have a conversation with Mr. House about comparing pitching and what he knows to LAX and what you know. I believe that this discussion will lead to some very interesting discoveries.

    Thank you so much I have always hated the fact that my shot was never hard even after years of practice, but that was because I was just shooting not focusing on the mechanics. So thank you for this video it has tremendously helped me out

  • @hscoach55
    @hscoach55 Před 3 lety

    Nice video Paul... but could explain arm distance and elbow angles. You explain wrist and shoulder action. But a lot of younger players have their elbows down, the stick is to far or to close from their bodies...great job...

    @chriskerwin3904 Před 6 lety

    Paul, have you moved your butt end down over time as you have gotten stronger from highschool to pro? It seems like a lot of kids are tripped up by the typical shaft length when they're young and do better with the but end taped higher up at least when they're younger.

    Hey Paul, I’m a new player to lacrosse and I don’t know a whole lot about the sport, (other than basic rules). I have been having issues with passing and shooting. For me, I always seem to either spike the ball to the ground, send it towards the ceiling, or make a decent leveled pass that just doesn’t have any distance. My teammates and coach tell me to follow through, but if I do that, I just spike it again. Do you have any tips for me on how to improve this aspect of my game?

    • @MrRawr-wk6md
      @MrRawr-wk6md Před 6 lety

      Your pocket probably hooks, roll a lacrosse ball through it by hand, if it catches then just tighten the bottom string (the one closest to the shaft) and see if that helps.

Give him a snazzy warp so what do you say Paul is it time to let bygones be bygones? #askpaul #beafreind
