The Basics of Cutting in Women's Lacrosse - The Art of Cutting (Part 1)
Спорт
The Art of Cutting - Part 1 covers the basics:
1. Why is cutting such an important strategy in women's lacrosse
2. Developing a cutter's mindset
3. Front-door cuts
4. Back-door cuts
5. Curl cuts
6. Change direction
7. Getting outside your defender's view of the ball
This is just to help players get started in understanding the cutting game in lacrosse, and it’s not meant to be comprehensive. If you want to learn more about the mechanics of cutting, I recommend checking out the STX women's series with Amy Appelt:
Midfield Cutting: • Midfield Cutting
How to Cut in the 8 meter: • How to cut in the 8-me...
If you want to go deeper on this, I also suggest checking out the Girls Lacrosse Academy section of Jamie Munro's Player Academy at www.jm3sports.com. His site has the best instructional content I've seen for women's lacrosse. It's not just drills. There's a bunch of excellent game analysis and lacrosse IQ material that's simply brilliant. (This is not a paid endorsement BTW. It's just my opinion.)
If you have any suggestions about how to make the Lacrosse Fluency series video better, future topics, etc., or if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at jfknowles10@gmail.com. Thanks and enjoy.

Thanks for watching. I'm trying to help young players build their lax IQ. I'm concerned about our sport's "leaky bucket" problem. We have a lot of kids who try the sport (because lacrosse incredibly fast and fun), but a lot of those kids (boys and girls) drop out pretty quickly. How do we keep more of them in the sport? Our problem is that it takes a while to learn the stick skills (catching and throwing on the run, for example) that they need. But if a young player can also develop lacrosse fluency (i.e., lax IQ) earlier, my hope is that it will enable that player to enjoy their lacrosse game while their stick skills are developing. Lacrosse IQ also gives an average sized player a way to compete against bigger, faster, stronger opponents. So, why not try to help them learn the cerebral part of the game as early as possible, if that gives them a way to enjoy lacrosse and stops them from quitting early? Sorry for the manifesto. I just hope we, as coaches, realize that our main challenge is to find a way to keep our kids coming back season after season. If the players can't see themselves getting better, they'll probably drop out. It's usually not their fault. It's our fault as coaches.
Thank you so much for your channel!!

Thanks Walt. I'm working on Part 3 now. It's about cutting when your defender turns her head to look at the ball. Hopefully I'll post that in the next day or two.
