Bottom Hand Technique With Coach Ted Bergman – LGR Podcast 46
By Coach Damon
April 19, 2019
During his college days at Wesleyan University Ted Bergman was one of the top goalies in the league earning the accolade of goalie of the year – the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award.
He’s now puts all his goalie knowledge to work coaching the goalies at Cleveland St.
Coming up on my 20th anniversary since I switched to the goalie position and it amazes that I still learn new things. And Ted is responsible for that.
In this amazing episode we break down the goalie position and discuss his approach to teaching the elite lacrosse goalie triad.
Among the topics covered:
- Pre game routine
- Post goal routine
- Hip Flexibility and Strength
- Yoga
- Bottom hand save technique
- Finish w/ a horizontal stick
- Use two hands on the drills
- Coaching overseas
- The bottom hand save technique which I first heard of when Ted gave a great webinar at Jamie Munro Lacrosse Virtual Summit.

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.
