On this week of the Lax Goalie Rat podcast, I am joined by a high school sophomore and North Carolina native Jackson Runkle.
Growing up and playing youth lacrosse Jackson never played goalie until he joined a new team in middle school and his coach asked if any other players would like to step up and take the 3rd goalie spot on the team. Having played soccer goalie previously Jackson reached at the opportunity and decided to take it.
While Jackson may have had some ups and downs in his time as a goalie he always found a way to overcome the bumps whether it was playing with a stance not very suitable for his height, getting a later start to his goalie career, or being a perfectionist in the cage.
On this episode of the podcast Jackson preaches the ways of the goldfish mentality and sometimes just being able to forget one part so you can move on and make the next save.

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.

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.
