Goalie Coaching Tips with Maryland Goalie JJ Suriano – Episode 247
By Coach Damon
October 8, 2024
On this episode of the Lax Goalie Rat podcast, I am joined by a redshirt sophomore attending the University of Maryland, JJ Suriano.
JJ Suriano came from arguably the biggest hotbed for lacrosse, Baltimore, Maryland. She attended Bryn Mawr School where she was a four-year varsity starter. She was 2021, 2022, and 2023 IAAM A-Conference All-Conference Team.
On September 1st of her Junior year, her phone was buzzing receiving multiple calls from college coaches. One college stuck out to her, Maryland.
She had a visit scheduled for the 8th of September. At that visit, she recalls it was everything she wanted academically, socially, and from lacrosse. She felt the team was very connected and close and knew she wanted to become a Terrapin.
She was advised by her college coaches not to commit so quickly, but she knew where her heart was set and committed to The University of Maryland on September 9th, 2021, and never looked back.
JJ is also a coach and an attendee of Goaliesmith. JJ loves to coach other goalies because she believes that she will be able to see the game better by doing so.
Enjoy this conversation with JJ Suriano.

Master the Goalie Parent Role
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.
