PHILOSOPHIES and METHODS

---

Yes, I played at the highest level at Princeton University and was a three-time D1 national champion. Other goalie coaches have impressive playing resumes as well. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTIATOR?  

15 years of teaching hundreds of goalies has sharpened my craft to PROPERLY EDUCATE.  

Proper education is not just "teach drill and perform drill".  We expand into WHY we use certain mechanics and WHAT IS THE PURPOSE of learning certain methods.  This approach has proven to empower our goalies with a deeper understanding of the position. THEY ARE NOW IN CHARGE!!!

Athletes are physically unique in many ways - size, speed, strength, etc.  WE ELEVATE every goalie by teaching them to optimize their space and time in the goal.  The dimensions of the goal are finite. The potential of every goalie is INFINITE. 

Athletes are also unique in how they learn.  The Lacrosse goalie position can sometimes be overwhelming.  We do not overcomplicate the learning experience.  We also modify the learning process for each goalie when necessary - it is important to explore different approaches.

Young athletes have enough pressure as it is - especially Lacrosse goalies.  We foster a competitive, yet welcoming environment.  Our platform creates balance between the stressful rigors of goaltending and a place where it is OK TO MAKE MISTAKES.  

Ultimately, as a goalie learns the mechanics and skills necessary for the position, he or she also needs to develop healthy mental practices.  We explore different approaches, including mental imagery, breathing, positive communication, etc.  We sometimes feel a heavy burden, and this is understandable.  However, every Continuum goalie is a part of family of goalies who understand what it is like.  We got your back!!!
