What others have said regarding Blue Dog Lax Club!
Jen,
Thanks so much for such a wonderful weekend. You are hilarious girl!!!
Even more importantly thank you for being so good to our daughter and guiding her in lacrosse. I really think she has improved so much with you. We feel blessed that you are a part of her life (and our other daughter's too, of course :) )
The Claremont Coach, Miles just called Morgan on the phone a few minutes ago and talked with her. Also the Whittier coaches contacted her via e-mail yesterday and said they really hope she goes to their school.
We'll keep you posted....
Judging from the improved skills that some of the FHS players have this year I think your club is clearly making a difference in lacrosse in the area, good for you. I also think there's plenty of demand in the area to accommodate multiple clubs, which is great for local tournaments.

I can safely say that you taught me everything I needed to know so I could grow (including a work ethic) into a player recruitable to a D1 school. I verbally committed yesterday. Now can I come this summer and help you teach other, younger kids the game you taught me?
SL
I signed my NLI with -------- and it is official, I will be playing lacrosse at -------! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for all your help in getting me there. I would not be the player I am without your training!
KC
I can say with certainty that you are an excellent lacrosse trainer and both of my daughters have learned a ton from you – that is why they have been so successful at the sport.
EC
I just want to thank you! My daughter made varsity, and I think it is largely due to the hard work you put into her over the summer and fall!
ML
Just so you know, all your Blue Dog players made varsity at our high school. My daughter and her buddy are starting! As freshman!
CK
I keep telling all the kids that you have more kids in D1 programs than any other coach around here… I really hope your club is a success, and that these kids really “get” you…
MP
My daughter just loves playing with your daughter and her crew! It is amazing the energy your girls bring to the field! Such intensity!
DH
Sign my daughter up, again, and again, and again! She loves club season playing with you! After 6 years with you, she doesn’t care if she never plays for another coach!
SM
Thank you so much for the leadership and inspiration, Jen. I would NOT be here if it weren’t for your coaching!
DM
My kid just LOVES playing for you…
EW
I just think the skills and intensity you teach your players serves them to play at a higher level. I think the college coaches will start recruiting more in this area… which is great! Thank you for your hard work and commitment to us!

What others have said regarding “Your Stickwork will Save You!”
Thanks for recommending that book, “Talent is overrated!” It really made sense of why you have us do these drills so much! That practice/alone time with the stick and ball now makes so much sense!”
-AM“…all those 1-12 stick moves you taught me, tell the girls to do them! Some of those moves were the first things the coaches taught us during stickwork day, and I was ahead of the game and looking sharp because of you!”

“I love it! Love it! Love it! Now how do I get all the Monte Vista girls to do it?”

A great way for girls to advance from a beginner level to an advanced level. It really teaches girls how to 'feel' the ball in their stick!!! Mandatory for every player....what a great learning tool!!!!

“I've been teaching stick rudiments for 25 years - both goalies and field players. I think this is such an important aspect of teaching the game fundamentals - so many players and coaches teach only one way - maybe two. Perhaps you've taken them to the extreme with having 12 (I teach 4......8 if you consider each side). But, still, there is extreme value in your teaching these. The value is basically in getting the players to understand the importance of being able to manipulate their sticks with ease - and the more ways they can manipulate it the better. HENCE - YOUR STICK WORK WILL SAVE YOU! I used to say to the players that your stick should become the mechanical and mental extension of your arm…. All in all - greatvideo … just the way it is. There is real value in what you've put together here so very nice job! Alexa too!!!!!!!
-Coach Bob
Watched it last nite and it was fantastic!! Great way to get girls to improve their skills, but on a step by step basis. Very effective teaching techniques to get the girls to get comfortable with the stick and ball.

"I learned more in an hour from the DVD than I had in 4 years of lacrosse. There was such a noticeable difference in my stickwork it was amazing. If you want to succeed as a player you should really try 1-12."
-A.R., varsity player
Many thanks for sending me this wonderful Dvd you made. It is excellent. I loved it and will watch it over and over. It was very professionally done.
E.R., Coach
“Great production quality! Great material! I will use this tool over and over! Thanks for all you do, Coach Jen!”
-Coach Stephanie F.
“That’s funny, now I know why kids who play for Jen have such great stickwork!”
-S.G., parent
“This is a roadmap to stickwork success! I have improved so much with this stuff!”
-A.M. player
“I liked it. I thought it was all good. I think it was a lot of information, though….”
-Coach Pete
“Coach Jen! I learned more about how to keep the ball in my stick in the past few weeks than using any other set of drills or stick tricks I have ever used! It’s fun, and your instructions are so clear and easy to follow!!!”
-JA
“Thank you so much for your stick drills! My team loves them, and they are catching and controlling the ball much better. I’ll tell you, though, teaching it to them uses a lot of time. Next year, I’m having them all get their own DVD and workbook!!!
