It was really only a matter of time before Coach Rat joined the Lax Goalie Rat podcast.
Scott Ratliff isn’t a goalie, currently an LSM on the PLL Archers, but this dude knows a ton about mental toughness.
That is the topic of our conversation – Coach Rat’s 3 main tips for mental toughness.
These tips apply to defensemen, LSM, just like they apply to goalies. In fact, goalie is such a mental battle they might be even more important for us goalies.
I also get to pick a defender’s brain and ask him who’s the best goalie he ever played with and what exactly do defenders like from their goalie.
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.

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. Learn more about Coach Damon.
