Bridgeport's Dan Denihan Tips: How an attackman can improve his game

I can't remember a time when I was younger that I didn't have my lacrosse stick in my hand. I mainly focused on stick protection and keeeping my head up when I was dodging.

One drill that I found that helped was cradling in front of any thing with a reflection like a house window, car door, or store window to make sure that no part of my stick was showing. I would practice changing direction in the mirror, making sure my stick wasn't exposed. If the defender can't check the ball from you then that gives you a great advantage over him.

Keeping your head up while dodging will help you to see the whole field and feed your middies when they cut to you. Practice all year round and have a catch with a friend whenever possible. My brother Conor and I would play whenever we had the chance.
