Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast with BU Head Coach Ryan Polley
This week I had a great conversation with BU Head Men's Coach, Ryan Polley. Ryan was a terrific interview and shared his unlikely path to being a Division I Head Coach. Ryan started playing lacrosse late! Polley was a QB and point guard at Malverne Prep in Philly and switched over from baseball in his sophomore year. Recruited and offered by Notre Dame and other schools, he chose Merrimack College in New Hampshire to play basketball. After two years of hoops, he switched over to lacrosse to finish out his college career.
Just out of college, Polley was an accountant and had the option of being the JV coach at Andover HS or the Head Coach of the girls team of a first year program. For three years he coached girls HS...

One of my favorite activities is talking lacrosse with coaches. I've been doing this regularly for my whole adult life, but it's only been the last 18 months that I've been recording them on my Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast! This week's pod with Coach Cannella was awesome! We talk about Greg's mentors:

College Lacrosse Recruiting
This week I did a Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast with Ty Xanders, Director of Recruiting and HS content for Inside Lacrosse and one of the foremost experts on college lacrosse recruiting.

Unlike in years past, coaches really didn't start paying attention to the 21's until last fall (which is .
Even more challenging is the fact that many programs actually try to see everyone! Watching first half on this field, 2nd half on that field and check the boxes...
