Our Methodology
“You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”
We separates the level of play in any sport is the soundness of fundamentals. The primary emphasis of Top Tech Lacrosse is on technical development of the player. The more consistently a player executes the fundamentals, the higher level player they become. Every NCAA Championship game is won or lost on fundamentals and the same can be said about any lacrosse game regardless of level.
"Grow the game" is a catchphrase we've heard regularly for several years now. There are two very different modes of possible "growth", however - growth in number of participants and then growth in quality experiences of the sport. The first has resulted in an overabundance of leagues, "select" teams (that aren't so 'select'), and showcase events that lack any part of developmental or technical component. Yes, it's human nature to want to play games; it's also human nature to find motivation in things we excel at and lack motivation for that which we fail at. The result has been a watering down of good lacrosse and influx of bad lacrosse.
Top Tech Lacrosse grows quality experiences and proper representations of the sport through the most effective teaching and coaching methods available. Our staff has decades of experience playing and coaching lacrosse at the highest levels. We also have studied coaching methods and sport psychology at a graduate level. Coaching is teaching, and teaching is coaching. Therefore, many of our staff have careers in both coaching and education.
We understand the challenges of developing the skills of the individual in the group setting, and use our experience and knowledge to facilitate players' success. Not only that, we deliver quality content by position with a high level of specificity so players are competent to assume greater roles of impact on their teams immediately. When players are coached by Top Tech Lacrosse, they are set up for success in the sport and will be motivated to work harder and fall more and more in love with the sport. THAT is how we "grow the game".
In an age where player complacency is rampant due to the effects of early recruiting, preoccupation with gear and uniforms, and lack of quality coaching proportionate to the vast increase in participation, Top Tech Lacrosse gives players the tools they need to get better every play, every day.
