On this episode of the Lax Goalie Rat podcast, I’m joined by goalie Coach Arvak Marshall.
Arvak was the Head Coach at Southern High School from 2006 to 2020 as well as an M&D goalie coach for over 20 years!
Marshall is also the Commissioner for SCYA Rec club in Anne Arundel County, MD.
While his time as a youth started a little late in 7th grade he played a little goalie but mostly played attack he didn’t truly start his time as a goalie until his coaching days started and his kids needed someone to shoot on so he courageously jumped in cage with no fear.
Arvak says that part of the reason he was so comfortable in goal is because he would be hit by defenders so often when playing attack that the ball in goal wasn’t much different which helped him get right into it.
With that stay tuned for this great conversation with this amazing goalie coach Arvak Marshall.

Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life.
