Interview with Coach Marty Ward: Florida Southern Head Coach and Former Team Iroquois Goalie – LGR Episode #92
By Coach Damon
Last updated: February 6, 2022
I remember about 10 years ago searching YouTube looking for every single lacrosse goalie training video I could find.
I came across this one from IMG Academy featuring one Marty Ward:
I didn’t know who Marty Ward was at the time but this video series was pretty good. Very well explained and covered the basics of the position perfectly.
Fast forward 10 years and now Marty Ward joins me on the Lax Goalie Rat podcast to discuss his lacrosse goalie career. And oh yeah, I definitely know who he is now.
He spent several World Games playing with the Iroquois national team including 2006 when he was the starting goalie. He’s currently the head coach at Florida Southern D2 program and has been doing that for 11 years!
Prior to joining Florida Southern, Ward was a standout goalkeeper at Division II powerhouse Limestone College, where he helped lead the Saints to a record of 55-9 in his four years. Ward was a two-time team captain and three-time all-conference selection at Limestone.

Being a goalie parent is harder than playing the position. That’s why I created the Lacrosse Goalie Super Mom/Dad course — designed for parents with zero lacrosse experience who still want to support their goalie.
