  • Off to a strong start

    As much as I enjoy the IL podcasts from recruiting to tailgates and more, I have much respect for BEST IN CLASS as a parent of a club player. We benefit enormously from the enewsletters with so many insightful tips. In this podcast debut, Coach Danowski is so authentic and shares some excellent info about goal setting, metrics they focus on to win and improve plus suggestions for student athletes and parents that go well beyond lax. Really enjoyed it and going to subscribe. Go Hawks!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Galloway: From Championship Goalie To A Decade Of Jacksonville Lacrosse
Q: What advice would you have for goalies now, maybe going through the recruiting process, about other ways to stand out?
Goalies should distinguish themselves as 60-minute contributors by communicating, directing and affirming defenders, helping with ground balls and clears, and developing skills beyond shot-stopping.
John Galloway: From Championship Goalie To A Decade Of Jacksonville Lacrosse
Q: What makes the West Genesee program so special and what made Coach Messier so special?
Galloway recalls the high standards, personal accountability and mentors who invested in players. He remembers Coach Messier's approval and lessons about commitment more than specific lacrosse instruction.
Tim McCormack: Growing Up A Goalie To Hopkins WLAX Coach
Q: What were the key priorities and sessions like after returning from COVID to ASU?
We focused on decision-making, creating environments that maximize decisions, and tailoring practice to the strongest outcomes while recognizing there is no single right way to teach it.
Tim McCormack: Growing Up A Goalie To Hopkins WLAX Coach
Q: How did the combination of Scotty's perspective and Kelly's help guide you into becoming a women's coach?
They let me be authentic and gave me freedom to coach the way I would in any other setting, emphasizing relationships and emotional intelligence, which shaped my approach.
Tim McCormack: Growing Up A Goalie To Hopkins WLAX Coach
Q: Looking at your background, a men's goalie walks into a Women's Lacrosse staff meeting at Northwestern in 2014. What does day one look like there?
From day one to year six, it was about learning, soaking up knowledge from the best, and gradually building confidence and a coaching identity that fit the women's game, focusing on authenticity and relationships.
