📘 A Parent’s Guide to Raising a Lacrosse Goalie

Raising a goalie is different.

Every goal feels personal. Every mistake is magnified. And as a parent, you ride that rollercoaster right alongside your child. You want to support them, but it’s not always clear how — when to speak, when to stay quiet, when to push, and when to just be present.

That’s why I created A Parent’s Guide to Raising a Lacrosse Goalie.

This isn’t a book about drills or technique. It’s about you — the parent. Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Handle the unique pressures of the goalie position — for your child and yourself

• Master the “car ride home” so it becomes a safe space, not an interrogation

• Tune out the noise of stats, highlight reels, and sideline chatter

• Build trust in the coaching process without second-guessing every move

• Support your child’s confidence, resilience, and love for the game

This guide gives you practical tools, honest insights, and a clear framework for showing up as the calm, steady presence your goalie needs — on game day and beyond.

Because behind every great goalie is a parent who believes in them, supports them, and helps them grow through the highs and lows.

🎯 If you want to give your child the confidence to thrive in the crease — and enjoy the journey along the way — this guide is for you.
