Your focus
Elite lacrosse players face repeated failure within a single game. Training attitude under high-volume adversity builds the emotional toughness to stay technically sound when things go wrong.
Player runs 5 consecutive shooting reps under time pressure. Coach counts misses aloud.
After each miss, player must sprint to the end line and back before the next rep.
Player must maintain strong body language (no stick slams, no head drops) throughout.
After all 5 reps, player self-rates attitude 1-5 and sets one specific next-rep intention.
Helpful cues
- Your body language is visible to every teammate
- The rep after a miss is the most important rep
