Does Your Athlete Want to Score More Goals This Spring?

Today I want to talk about why box-style finishing matters — especially if your athlete is serious about scoring more consistently and confidently this spring.

Then, I’ll share how you can get access to a two-hour Box Finishing Training Program — completely free.

Developing in non-traditional areas like Nashville — where our lacrosse culture is still growing — doesn’t always give athletes the same high-level training and competition opportunities found in established regions.
The reality is, the skill level here is still catching up — and that’s okay.

But if your athlete wants to stand out, whether they’re chasing college recruiting goals or simply building confidence in their middle school or youth years, they need a way to close that gap.

That’s where box-style finishing comes in.
By learning deceptive shooting principles, focusing on quick releases, and refining footwork to match their stickwork, your athlete can develop elite-level habits that make them look and play fundamentally stronger than their peers — even without being in a traditional lacrosse hotbed.

In field lacrosse, most players hear the same advice: “Shoot faster.”
But in box, players learn that it’s not just about speed — it’s about deception, patience, and accuracy under pressure.

In the box environment, goalies are bigger, the nets are smaller, and space is limited. Players are forced to create scoring opportunities, not wait for them. They learn to:

These same principles — patience, deception, and accuracy — form the foundation of the Canadian Path to Success principles, a proven shooting system that has developed some of the most efficient shooters in the world.

By mastering these habits in box, your athlete becomes a more confident and composed shooter on the field.
They stop relying on raw power and start using deception and accuracy along with their power to beat the goalie.
They understand they have the entire net — and with it, the ability to control the outcome of every shot.

This isn’t theory — it’s results.
For over two decades, Team Canada has dominated the international stage, consistently producing the most creative, confident, and efficient finishers in the game.

Their players grew up in box environments where repetition, deception, and patience were ingrained early.
And now, that same model is being used across the U.S. by programs that want to raise their scoring IQ and consistency.

If your athlete wants to build real confidence in front of the cage — to stop hoping shots go in and start knowing they will — box-style finishing is the difference-maker.
It develops the skills, rhythm, and confidence that translate directly to field success.

This winter, I’m opening up a handful of private training sessions — custom-tailored to your athlete’s needs.
