Vince Catino is the fastest man alive.

moex said:Laxplayer11, good post. Few schools have adopted the off-season regiment which should include weight training, core training, conditioning, and stick work. To be in compliance with OHSLA rules, I understand this would have to be under the direction of the lacrosse team captains or trainers/coaches not affiliated with the lacrosse program. Moeller has, under TK, moved in this direction. Correct me if I am wrong, but I hear Summit has an off-season lacrosse specific core training and conditioning program and Saint Xavier offers weight training. Anyone else?
moex said:Dpole7, I have to agree with xtraman. Speed helps, but it is not the end-all-be-all. No one can out-run the ball. Now if you want to give "speed" a broad definition - speed of shot, quick decisions, fast-pace, fast transitions, efficient personnel changes, fast cuts, clears, and checks, quick hands and reactions - then, yes, lacrosse does become a game of speed. It is much more than just running a fast 40. I think we agree more than we disagree.
If you can run by the person...you win. If you are on defense and your man can't beat you because you are faster...you win again.
Anyways, whats Moeller's defense going to look like for this upcoming year?
moex, i think the point has already been established that the ball moves faster than anyone on the field, but i think what dpole7 was trying to say is that a fast defender would shut down an average speed attackman any day of the week...good ball movement is very good and everything but if you look at strong offenses like UA or Thomas Worthington, they bump the ball around alot but the offense is started by someone with an iso...to score goals on a defense you need fast players to start with a dodge and not just constant ball movement, becasue when ur bumping the ball around the defense doesnt have to move much at all..it is actually very easy to defend. Offenses should involve people cutting and constant movement from every player..ball movement is important but i personally think it can only get you so far

Very true. "Can't outrun the ball" is only useful information if the defender is chasing the ball. If a team is just chucking it around the perimeter (as so many seem wont to do, for some reason), it's easy for the defense to sit back, catch their breath, and wait for an opportunity to jump somebody's pass route.good ball movement is very good and everything but if you look at strong offenses like UA or Thomas Worthington, they bump the ball around alot but the offense is started by someone with an iso...to score goals on a defense you need fast players to start with a dodge and not just constant ball movement, becasue when ur bumping the ball around the defense doesnt have to move much at all..it is actually very easy to defend.
