We’re back for season 2 of the Lax Goalie Rat podcast! I ended up taking no weeks off as I’ve been having such great conversations with goalies that I can’t wait for you all to hear them.

Liz Hogan from Team USA and the Boston Storm joins me for the next episode of the Lax Goalie Rat podcast.

Liz is a badass goalie. The shoulder shrug after she “shallacks” this UNC player might be one of my favorite things ever.

Taking on Monday’s. 🚨 PSA 🚨 : This is lacrosse. This is a sport and a contact sport at that. We’re females, but we’re athletes that go hard. Don’t confuse the shallow pocket or the kilt for being soft. When we cross that line onto the field, we are warriors out to defend our team. While that doesn’t excuse us from actions on the field, it also doesn’t define us as a human or a person. Here’s to silencing the haters and letting our competitive self out. Keep going hard. Keep pushing limits. #attacktheweek #comeatme #gohardorgohome #mondays #wlax #womenslax #womenslacrosse #glax #girlslax #girlslacrosse

Athletic Greens – It’s tough to eat a perfect diet so luckily there is the Athletic Greens all natural, whole food supplement to make sure you get all the nutrients and vitamins that our goalie’s bodies need for optimal performance. Free grass-fed whey protein pack when you use that link.

Show Sponsor #2

Lexi Shield – Concussions for lacrosse goalies are a real problem. Unfortunately standard helmets do not provide enough protection against concussions. Enter the Lexi Shield – a post-market device that attaches to the helmet and drastically reduces a goalie’s chance at getting a concussion. At $25 this thing is really a no-brainer for practice.
