🚨New Podcast Episode Alert 🚨

Talking shop with Richmond goalie Connor Knight.

This season he was top 10 in save percentage but ask him about it and he keeps coming back to one thing: keep it simple.

In Ep. 297, Connor breaks down:
→ The “never too high, never too low” mindset
→ Why he trusts fundamentals over guessing shooter tendencies
→ His counterclockwise crease walk as a full mental reset
→ What he learned backing up Zach Vigue
→ Playing goalie in a 10-man ride

Awesome episode with this goalie from Dallas, Texas.

A save isn’t a save until you clear the ball successfully!

During Lacrosse Goalie Summit 18, Shea Dolce shared this mental framework to emphasize the importance of clearing.

She’s been telling herself that for six years. It’s her own little stat book in her head: — did I make the save? ✅ Check. Did I clear it? ✅ Check.

This season with BC she had the least amount of turnovers in her career.

Her checklist 👇
→ Be decisive
→ See the field
→ Control the tempo
→ Move your feet
→ Trust your unit

Remember the 2 checkboxes (not 1).
