Many consider Brian “Doc” Dougherty to be one of the greatest goalies of all time! He certainly dominated his era and now has also coached multiple current MLL stars like Austin Kaut and Nico Amato.
He created a lot of the best goalie drills that I use today, including the one that bears his name – the Doc Drill (camp members: check it out here – not a member yet? more info here).
In this episode, we discuss many topics including –
The PHLOW system
Baiting shooters
Drills he uses to training goalies
How he overcomes going through slumps
His approach to mental toughness
His trash talking methods and whether he recommends youth do it
The Lax Goalie Rat Camp – The premier online camp for coaching lacrosse goalies. Everything you need to learn this position and take your goalie to the next level physically, mentally, and technically.
Unlock your full potential inside the premier training program for lacrosse goalies. Get exclusive access to technique tutorials, drills, mental game strategies, lacrosse IQ development, and direct coaching from Coach Damon. Join 400+ goalies who are leveling up their skills and confidence.
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. You’ll learn how to train them (yes, really), but more importantly, how to guide them through the emotional highs and lows of the game.
Promote your brand, product, or service by sponsoring the Lax Goalie Rat newsletter. It's the easiest way to get noticed by a passionate and highly targeted community of lacrosse goalies and coaches.
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.
