Breaking Down My Midfield Shooting | GAME IQ Ep. 2

Welcome to episode 2 of our newest channel series, called GAME IQ. Throughout this episode, I'll be breaking down 6 different offensive sets that began with a midfield dodge, a defensive sliding package, and how every player on the field makes a high IQ read that sets up a midfielder’s goal.
This is Midfield Shooting - on the run, time and room, and in transition.
Comment below what you think. Our next GAME IQ episode will be on dodging!

I'd like to see attack clips

[@brandonparry2056]

Go say something on Pannells channel.

[@aidenmcmullen4351]

Bro I had a dream Paul rabil was at my house and my parents let him in and we started playing and there were like lax gloves everywhere and he said good deal every ten seconds .

[@mitchwillphippen6523]

That sounds like a dream that I would like to have.

[@georgephelps7315]

AIDEN mcmullen kinda weird but ok

[@gasshu9095]

*GOOD DEAL*

[@taranjoshi8462]

sounds accurate

[@Mando_9833]

I really hope my freshman season isn’t cancelled... I have been working really hard to improve my midfield plays☹️

[@gasshu9095]

Same man I feel you as a fellow freshman😔

[@heykidswantsomecandyo3077]

Same if we go back we only get 2 games both are home though so I’m happy about that

[@heykidswantsomecandyo3077]

But I doubt I’ll get much playtime as a freshman on varsity

[@gavinrosenberger]

Have you improved

[@jakewilson24]

This is a great series, and would love to see it from the eyes of attackmen like Rambo, Holman, or RP3 once he gets some PLL clips in this summer

[@thomasanderson5835]

Game iq is one of the best videos on the internet!

[@lukasmccrea1871]

Would love to see some plays from x and how the middies at top and player(s) on crease are moving off-ball

[@colestachniak9152]

I’m kinda struggling to play lacrosse outside in Alberta, -18 degrees Celsius

I love how you are still making content during this tough time. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩🤩(You are also my favorite lacrosse player of all time) Edit: Please do a 2020 weapon of choice 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@alexdimassa4092]

I am stuck at home with only my stick, balls, a goal, and a wall. Could you do a video on drills to do while in quarantine?

[@JonathanDesoto]

Totes has done that, a couple vids ago.
Totes auto'd to toes.

[@murch68]

Great content. This type of analysis is very helpful for players and coaches. Hope you'll consider expanding the series to include other players and positions.

[@matthewmainolfi1757]

You should make a vlog every Tuesday and game iq every Thursday

[@jordanvaillancourt25]

Thank you so much for doing this Paul it helps so much

[@matthewsciancalepore21]

Thanks, Paul for doing this. You are a true inspiration!

[@scouts.9206]

This was so helpful!!! Thank you!

[@lungfudo]

This was really enjoyable. Thanks- more of these please!

[@kevinnorris8201]

Paul, need this for every position. Panell from attack. Hartzell reading the passing lanes. Schreiber reading his skip pass

[@vincentfantauzzi8932]

Keep these vids coming... learning so much and makes it easier for my son to understand how to analyze game footage!

[@ghostly2k_501]

idk why but you broke it down so well i could understand it with ease and now i kinda am thinking about how where you are when you dont have the ball is so important and how i really need to pay attention to where i am without the ball

[@meeacid1192]

I’d love to see goalie clips and breakdowns I feel the go unseen or underrated because they are one of the most important positions

[@silver4436]

MeeAcid There can’t be much that film or strategy for a goalie

[@dylanfurnback8989]

@laxgoalierat and @laxgoalienetwork on instagram. Check out their websites too

[@finntastic0055]

3 years later… amazing series

[@bhwksfn32]

Excellent, keep these coming!

[@user-sq3oy4ez7q]

Love this series

[@themcflurry2121]

Love this series. I think it would be dope if you broke down shot decisions based on goalies position/movement and how in game you are able to assess that choice.

[@seankynor6871]

These are great, sharing them with my U15 team. Keep them coming. Would love some attack and D IQ sessions as well.

[@nicholaskumulian5172]

Paul, haven’t watched a lot of your videos so far. But these two episodes really show a lot of the little mechanics that make PLL and lacrosse in general a very difficult game. Would love to see you try and do a full game commentary and break down other positions as well. You do a very good job dissecting the psychology of the keeper and that isn’t always the easiest for field players!

[@broghandaley5594]

I always learn something from these vidoes👍🏼🙏🏼💪🏼

[@sharkyboi3742]

Would love some defense IQ episodes as well Love the first two sooo much it helps me learn and elevate my game a lot more

[@jennifermartin924]

Love this series!!

[@virginialax03]

Gotta feel bad for Max Tuttle at 17:00. Pretty good defense for a SSDM on Fracarro. Just a really good play by Jake

[@jaydencharney1891]

Thanks for this Paul

[@aaronhamilton6390]

Thanks for the vid, learned a lot from it

[@garisonciff]

I love these videos I’m looking forward for more videos like this.

[@zaccrosby5993]

Maybe a vid about team defense? You can definitely read a defense really well so it’d be cool to see you break down when a team is playing good defense as a unit and the decisions each guy makes the way you do offense

[@stefansneck5778]

Game iq is my favorite sports show haha

[@ColeMcIsaac]

Just started junior year and your videos helped me to not look like a idiot on the field. Thanks 😊 🙏

[@jackberkley3295]

Love your vids

[@harrisonv7215]

Nice video
Everyone stay health and safe

[@Smishstudios13331]

Hey Paul! I absolutely love this series but if I have one suggestion to make it even better than it already is, would to have some type of music in the background. For me that holds my attention just a little bit more and I think that will make this series more engaging. Keep up this series! As a coach and player of the game, this series is extremely helpful to myself as a player and helps me with different techniques when it comes to coaching.

[@braydenhorrocks2133]

What up Paul!!!

[@GIANTS91ny]

Can we get some reviews of lsm shots?

[@user-fy3pd5ne7f]

I am currently a high-school lacrosse player. Long pole. I injured my shoulder(dislocation) and cannot play. Can you please show us some of the defense plays? If you have any.

[@peytonanderson8471]

Can u try and do attack next? I love these videos keep it up!!!

[@baxter9305]

Like this series

[@yugiohonabudget3466]

Amazing. Can we do D pole ones in the future?

[@jonlukeduley3016]

Would like to see wall ball and shooting drills for middys again

[@coopypoopy8447]

Awesome

[@anthonyoliva6008]

Hey Paul, love this series especially during this time. Players (including myself) can learn so much from this. Also, is there any certain type of tape you use for your butt end tape job? I can’t seem to get it right

[@the_sauze_gaming8590]

Anthony Oliva I used A&R sports tape

[@charliesullivan7986]

There is a stringking tape that is nice

[@anthonyoliva6008]

Charlie Sullivan ordered some👌🏼

[@myznic5764]

Hi paul, you are my favorite lax player !

[@bib0255]

Just what I needed during Corona Virus

[@sammynelson4583]

You should get other players to do this for defense and attack as well, these are great vids

[@tylerpower1415]

Would really like to see more shooting, maybe more pick game leading into time and room shots.

[@colinspeer8844]

these clips are extremely helpful. as an incoming dodging freshman midfielder, how can I improve my field awareness?

[@samdichristina6612]

Hey Paul could you get some PLL close D guys or LSMs to make Game IQ videos too??

[@emersonkhambatta7064]

If u can please do an episode on D middie iq for 6v6 and man down along with clearing

[@johnmartin4918]

I have a pair of Ryan browns gloves from Charlotte hounds

[@markbiear922]

can you cover handling doubleteams and slides?

[@ericbush7367]

I said this last time but Paul Rabil can you do a defense side too.

[@jamesgilis6029]

I play attack and I learned so much just watching off ball

[@charliesullivan7986]

Paul can you please answer this question. Would you recommend wearing gloves or not when you practice

[@bengeorge8663]

In my opinion its better to practice with gloves cause you'll be using them in a game so best to get comfortable with them.

[@dantevilla6155]

nice vid

[@georgemclaughlin480]

I use this to get better at defense

[@robertlinton1871]

That was really good; I have been a player that has worked on stick skills and shooting, but have struggled with Lacrosse IQ. How have you gained your IQ over time?

[@swisswater_3447]

I'm workin hard to get your jersey for PLL Jersey week

[@aidancharleslee7377]

Make more Rabils kitchen!

[@tylerlangford7568]

Can you go over fast break plays

[@Tagbadger3]

People ask why you (should) shoot low on the run? Its like they've never watched the 2007 championship game! XD
