Installing the 141 Offense - JM3 YouTube Channel

When I launched the JM3 Sports Coaches Training Program in 2018 my goal was to create content that was both cutting edge and practical: a Division I coach would take something away from a presentation and a high school or Youth coach could apply the concepts for their teams.  I'm excited to share some of my favorite all time content like this 141 breakdown with the world on our JM3 YouTube Channel!

One of the revelations I had while producing this webinar is that the 141 and it's "Hot Spots" are the foundation of every modern dodging / spacing offense.  Therefore mastering and understanding...

Ryan Danehy Podcast

This week I had a great conversation with new Mercer Head Coach Ryan Danehy about his lacrosse journey, his mentors, what he learned from each one of them and how he wants to play now that he's a first time head coach!

RD's 16 year journey includes coaching stops (in reverse chronological order) at: Bucknell as Offensive Coordinator, NY Lizards, Penn Volunteer, 3d Lacrosse Director of Methodology, The University of Michigan, and Dartmouth where he coached for both Bill Wilson and PLL Chaos Head coach Andy Towers.  Ryan's knowledge of the game through years of experiences with great coaches around comes out loud and clear!

Ryan is a...

How To Teach Multiple Hitching

Over the four and a half years of writing this blog, I have written about the power of multiple hitches many times.  it's a skill that Canadian and Native box lacrosse players employ regularly, whereas US players generally do not.  The reason is simple, In the US, kids are taught to catch it loaded, release a shot as quickly as humanly possible and this is repped endlessly in just about every shooting drill.  Whereas In...

Thoughts on 2man Game

2man game is an incredibly powerful tool for any offense, but is misunderstood by many coaches and players which creates frustration when it doesn't seem to work.  This blog will attempt to provide a simple and practical explanation as to why 2man game is important and how players can change their paradigm to make 2man game exceedingly effective. 

Let's start with some analytics: 2man game has higher offensive efficiencies than isolation. Joe Keegan, PLL writer and Director of Analytics along with the late great Dave Huntley have documented this fact through MLL and PLL stats over the past seven years.  2man game creates more...

The Greatest Drill Ever

4v4 Double Team is arguably the greatest drill in the history of drills!  This drill will have a huge impact on your team on both sides of the ball!
