Stony Brook Goalie Charlie Campbell – LGR Episode 144
By Coach Damon
April 26, 2022
I gotta say Charlie Campbell is amazing. I think you’ll agree with me after listening to this awesome episode with the current Stony Brook goalie and Long Island native. Definitely one of the most entertaining but also educational episodes I’ve ever recorded.
Growing up she admittedly was never the most athletic kid but when she jumped into goal in the 4th, she knew she had found something special.
“I remember running over to my parents and I went – OMG I was good at something…like genuinely good at something. I was addicted to that feeling – yeah people trust me to protect them!”
As one of 5 siblings she was constantly battling for attention and when she dominated into between she found it. Playing very well in PAL league (even playing injured at times) on Long Island and eventually getting attention from colleges.
Her collegiate career started at the University of Virginia and when all was said and done she had the sixth-most saves in program history with 417.
To complete her grad year she moved closer to play some “Long Island” style lacrosse at Stony Brook, something we discuss in the episode.
As someone who gets flushed with adrenaline she stole a move from the Pittsburgh Steelers kicker to fit into her pregame routine that I encourage all young goalies faced with the same thing to emulate.
She tells a bunch of beautiful stories including one behind the necklace she’s wearing in the headshot seen below.
At the end of the podcast I definitely made a deal with Charlie that if Stony Brook makes the national championship game, I will be in attendance.
