Read this only if you decided NOT to shorten the learning curve between you and being the best lacrosse player you could be.

I don’t blame you for being skeptical. There is so much junk on the Internet that it’s hard to decide what is real and what isn’t.

I encourage you to look at the results other people just like you have gotten by using our formula. They simply got positive results by putting simple techniques into action. Look at what others have said that looked at and used our product: Testimonials

You may already be doing OK playing on your team, but do you know the stickwork drills to make it over the top to be the best player you can be? How much time have you wasted so far being mediocre?

Many believe it takes quite a while to get firmly entrenched in the process of learning to be a great lacrosse player. That’s only if you don’t have the skills to know what you’re doing. The longer you wait, the further behind you’ll be and you may never catch your competition. The time to start learning is now. Each day you delay is costing you valuable time. Girls Lacrosse can be so frustrating- the shallow pocket, the apparent variation of skill levels- especially when you are not on the top of the heap!

That’s the reason for this program and that’s the reason my players jump right over JV to Varsity. That could be you. Do you want this badly enough to do the work?

Your Stickwork Will Save You!

Girls (Women’s) Lacrosse, much more so than boys (men’s), is a game of finesse. Catching the ball in a stick with a very shallow pocket is much more difficult than it looks. Keeping the ball in the stick is all fun and games in junior lacrosse. But it becomes more challenging when real checking is allowed- as in high school/college. The slightest tap on the stick can break its cradle motion, and jostle it just enough to knock the ball from the sweet spot. This can make it difficult to throw on target. Or worse, it can make a player drop the ball. This causes turnovers, lost opportunities, and frustration for the player.

Ball Control!

The better your stick work, the more control you have over the ball. The more control you have, the more opportunities you will have to dodge, pass, and shoot. The problem as I see it is, youth lacrosse players are taught to cradle loose, high and in front of their face. This works at the youth level because the rules prohibit checking at first, then checking above the shoulder. This leads to cradles that are far too checkable by high school rules, and a need to a complete re-working of stick work upon entering high school.

What's the Solution?

The solution is to develop a strong, more check-proof cradle. This cradle needs to be strong, tight, and well controlled; all within 12 inches of the head of the handler. It needs to be strong in every plane conceivable and quickly moveable in order that the stick head be hidden from any defender within a stick’s length. Left and Right!

How to Develop Such a Cradle...Left and Right!

The Cerebellum (base of the brain) is the area at the back, bottom of the skull. It is the area that controls coordination and balance. Great coordination and balance go hand in hand with agility and an increased awareness of where the body is space. All of these together, developed properly, plus a lot of hard work and dedication, make a worthwhile end product: great stick work and an amazing lacrosse player.

The way to develop coordination at any repetitive task is first to break it down to the very basics, perfect the technique, then build slowly in difficulty. Each exercise must be practiced on the left and the right hand equally as coordination builds. This slow, directed increase of challenge to the Cerebellum increases its function over time. The results are amazing!

Sports Specific Training

Performance enhancement and injury prevention are goal of any serious coach. Enhancement simply allows us to be better. We can become bigger, stronger, faster and more resistant to injury through effective cross training and a variety of other means. Improved performance can be attained through nutrition, agility training, psychological training, weight training, and specific drills/tasks aimed at challenging the brain’s coordination center- the Cerebellum.

Sports Specificity in Women's Lacrosse

I choose to use proprioceptive training for the development of stickwork improvement in lacrosse players. Proprioception is the knowledge of where your body is in space. The increase in the subconscious awareness leads to an increase in the brain’s ability to take in other information about your surroundings. In Women’s Lacrosse, this knowledge is extremely important. It helps us know where exactly our stick is in space in relation to our head, shoulder, and another players stick or body. Equally important in Women’s Lacrosse is the development of a sense of light touch. The shallow pocket and resultant undetected dropping of the ball is something that can be prevented with the proper training. Further, this training can prove to make your stickwork and cradle more resistant to other players’ checks so you can keep possession when you wouldn’t have otherwise.

I have worked with athletes since 1985: treatment, rehab, prevention and performance enhancement. That’s 22 years. I have been a team doctor for many area sports teams, and worked with everything from agility training to taping, bracing, and acute on the field injuries. I have worked with almost every musculo-skeletal injury you could imagine. What I like the best is preventing them by training the athletes to make movements that lend themselves to success at well as physical integrity.

Over the years, I have studied a ton of information. It’s in my brain. I can’t pretend to remember where I learned some things, or where I learned others. My brain stops at what’s important, I guess, not the year, volume, and page of the medical journal or periodical I read the information in. I just know some things to be true at this point. You’d have to know me to know why I say: take the leap of faith, and trust me on this one. This is my life, and I know I can help you get where you want to be… if you are willing to do what it takes. I have spent my life learning this stuff so I could get creative and help you be the very best you can be.

Six Weeks ‘till Lax Season!

A Sports Specific Training Plan for Female Lacrosse Players age 10-18

90 pages filled with information from Coach Jen (Dr. Milus) on how you can get ready for the coming lacrosse season in just 6-7 weeks!

I have been in sports performance enhancement and injury rehab since 1985 and private practice as a sports med specialist for 13 years. These years have been largely dedicated to helping athletes perform at peak levels, as well as preventing and treating sports related injuries. In those years, I have been a team doctor to several bay area sports teams, attending to a wide range of sports injuries.

When training athletes of any level, having an understanding of what an athlete is going through both physically and mentally is paramount. Due to my participation in many and various athletic endeavors, I have developed just that understanding. I am a Palmer College of Chiropractic Alumni. My post doctoral work included study for certified chiropractic sports physician, in muscle balance and function, strength and conditioning. I have competed at elite levels as a distance and ultra distance runner. I have also competed in triathlons, mountain biking, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, softball, obstacle course racing, racquetball, volleyball, golf and body building.

I have been a coach for girls for 10 years. I have coached softball, soccer, and am currently a lacrosse coach. I have worked with all levels of young athletes from beginners to collegiate and Olympic level phenoms. I have trained men, women, and children to enhance their power, agility and strength while preventing and treating their injuries. Empowering an athlete gives confidence which spans to other areas of their life. This empowerment helps fulfill dreams through positive physical and psychological momentum.

I hope to use all that I have learned in all of these years to help your daughter achieve dreams she has not even yet conceived of. It is my goal to provide her with as much knowledge, self confidence, inner and outer strength and skill to aid her as I possibly can in the time that I have with her. I have made 2 versions of this training plan that will come with your purchase. The first version is for girls who have a gym to work out in, and who have already started menstruating. The second version is for younger girls, and or those who need to workout at home or anyplace besides a gym.

Remember: any exercise you do is at your own risk. Anyone can get hurt at any time doing any exercise. This applies to parents taking responsibility for their children, and the inherent risks involved in such an undertaking.
