Deemer Class

Some players are extremely "easy" to play with, and some players are very "difficult" to play with. What makes a lacrosse player "easy" to play with?

Heard a great podcast from @YouthInc early last week and we had to discuss it more on the latest pod!

𝟯𝘃𝟮 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 ⚽ Works on soft hands, spacing, quick decisions, etc. This is a juice drill. Get your players excited and loud. We have found that it’s a great drill to get practice rolling or cap off the day. 📺From our webinar with Steve Koudelka.

@emacSNY @drewbrennan77 @NCAALAX Right down Charles street

Dear @NCAALAX, there should be a good matchup during Friday happy hour every week of the season.

Andre Agassi was one of the most talented tennis players in the world... and it was killing his career. How? He was trying to be perfect, when in reality that rarely exists. 🧵👇

"Lacrosse is complicated... but the truth is the game of lacrosse can be distilled to one key principle: 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆." 🎯 Excited to drop our newest YouTube video that has been in the works for a while! 📺"Everything in Lacrosse Comes Down to This One Thing": youtu.be/KSvQYveBxDA

@MTSchreiber7 Absolutely - great point here

@22classy You’re not wrong, but what I loved about what Bernhardt said was that he gives his athletes a reason to trust his process. That trust isn’t expected or assumed. He is clearly a class act.

Players need to trust and believe that their coaches are invested in their development, even if they aren’t hitting the field right away Some of the biggest impact players on championship teams are the juniors and seniors whom earn roles over time

🤔Looking for some new 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 drills this spring? Deemer Class has you covered in our latest "Coaches Corner" newsletter 🤝 Breaking down Deemer's five favorite drills from our Coaches Community. 🧵👇

These are my favorite goals: throw it forward, look inside Beautiful backside spacing from Palumbo Burns always hunts inside Great “forward” from the freshman, drawing the adjacent hedge. @TigerLacrosse

As a young coach, I used to get roasted in the comments for posting swim moves on our socials. And every year, there proves to be situations where a swim is highly effective.

.@BigTenPlus get with the program! It's lacrosse season... and your "More Sports" dropdown doesn't click. C'mon now!

@KyleHarrison18 Nearside low looks tasty here on a Monday morning

Hop v UVA tomorrow. One of the crazier plays of our rivalry during our 4 years - Dixon making a save (shot was buns), and Tilman squaring up w/ no stick in goal and actually tracking that joint! If that’s on cage he actually may have punched it, which is wild. Not sure folks talk about how damn good he was. Anyway, Go Jays!

Pump and look back… S Dodge… slick finish He’s got all the tools 🧰

@PaulRabil @JakeRichard27 Love to the burners + steak & athletic brew shoutout is real 💪😂

starting tmrw night some of the best mens and womens lacrosse players in the world will be competing in olympic sixes (and yes, some of the best pros in the world are also playing in the nll right now and I would encourage you watch that, too). stepping back for a sec…i think in speaking with lacrosse fans. you guys. i keep coming back to the common denominator. we all just love the game. even if we prefer one discipline over another…or if you hate one discipline altogether. there’s one you might love. we've all played the game. most of us. it’s part of what makes being a lacrosse fan cool. btw the caliber of athlete who plays doesn’t get the credit he and she deserves. it’s a rly hard game to play. and that’s why a lot of people can’t. those of you who follow hs lacrosse, watch college, root your players and universities on...there’s more. the players who we've been following...they're even better in their 20's. actually ridiculous. the talent in lacrosse right now is insane. ive heard from people who played college lax in the 80s, moved west for work, didn’t see the game for 30 years, and have come back watching a pll game on abc and just go…wtf happened to these players??? i tell them it started at the youth level and has accelerated. 8th graders are shooting 100mph. here’s good news. if you watch hs or college lacrosse, you might have an espn subscription. the entire championship series tournament. both pll and wll. will be live on espn unlimited...with an all star broadcast crew of anish, ryan and dana.
 i'll be there. as a fan. because lacrosse is lacrosse. from a faceoff to offense and defense and goaltending. i know i promote lax in the olympics all the time and you’re probably rolling your eyes but 3 billion people around the world watched the last summer games in paris and over 20 million americans woke up at 8am last sunday to watch usa canada hockey on nbc. I just care about more people seeing this amazing sport. america’s first game. more people will watch it in a couple summers from now than ever before in history. yes, it’s sixes. but at least give it a shot…i think more people, more brands and more support will head towards all formats of the game as a result of la28. from men to women to 10s to box to sixes. and you are leading us in that charge. so i owe you a thank you. even to everyone at nocontext rbrowny and ghettogarygait. i’m not exclusively beyond meat btw i had a 52 oz tomahawk steak last night w my athletic brew and thought of how much I get made fun of for this and various things. so I washed it down with a whiskey. being a small part of a game much bigger than me is the honor of a lifetime. hope you enjoy the champ series.

@SpiderMLAX @atlantic10 Because he does smart things like this off ball
