Human Over Athlete and Goalie Mental Health with Madi Weaver – Episode 243
By Coach Damon
August 26, 2024
On this episode of the Lax Goalie Rat podcast, I’m joined by rising high school senior and DII commit Madison Weaver.
Madi is heading into her senior year at Jefferson Forest High School and plays for Valley Select Lacrosse out of Forest, VA.
Madi has committed to the fairly new Emory and Henry College to play Division 2 and pursue her passion for playing lacrosse goalie throughout her time in college.
Madi is a huge advocate of Morgan’s Message, a program that provides mental health resources for athletes. “Human over athlete” is something I always says Madi.
Madi has been playing lacrosse for 10 years and has never given up on her passion for this sport even through obstacles such as broken thumbs, being the only goalie on a team, and people not believing in her.
But even thought all that she never let that stop her from achieving her dream of playing Division 2 lacrosse in college.
Great conversation with this young goalie.

P.S. – Ready to take the next step? Here are 3 powerful ways I can help you:
1.
Join the Lax Goalie Rat Academy

2.
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.

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.
