The Jamie Munro Defense Academy Master Course

by Jamie Munro
The Jamie Munro Defense Academy Master Course

Description

Our goal in this course is to develop you into a   "Complete Defender."  The three pillars of the complete defender are 1, On the ball, 2, with the ball  and 3, off the ball.  

 

On Ball:  All college coaches want athletes who have great quickness, change of direction and strength.  Our strength and conditioning course is designed to help you achieve this level of athleticism.   

However, pure athleticism is not enough to be a great" cover guy", you must also be well versed in  technique. The ability to use your feet, stick and body to take good angles, leverage your man, and maintaining ball pressure are skills that must be practiced. Some on-ball skills that will be honed through this course are: 

  • The Five Key Approach scenarios
  • Lead poke
  • Hip turns and drop steps
  • Bump and run 
  • Angles
  • Poke, lift, and leverage
  • V hold
  • Cross check hold

Off Ball: Most of the game your man will not have the ball and to be a Complete Defender, you must be well versed in many fundamental skills and habits while having an solid understanding of team defense which will allow you to process situations quickly and make good decisions and communicate. The skills which you will learn in that respect are: 

  • Communication Multiple scenarios
  • Posture
  • Head Turn
  • Assessing the match up aka "Slide Decisions"
  • Adjacent defense
  • Crease defense
  • 2 away defense
  • Transition defense

With Ball: To be a Complete Defender, you need to have exceptional stick skills with an ability to not just be a proficient clearing defender, but an offensive defenseman who can not only deal with pressure, but can create offense.  The skills involved in scooping, escapes, dodging, passing, shooting and 2 man games which happen in early offense and sub games. You literally need to be skilled enough to be an offensive player.  

These skills and more will be offered to you through this course. There is so much information to be consumed and utilized that this course pays for itself tenfold.

Jamie Munro is the Founder of JM3 Sports. Known as one of the game’s most innovative thinkers, teachers and entrepreneurs, Munro leverages his experiences to provide a service that cannot be found anywhere in the sport. “I’ve coached professional lacrosse, DI lacrosse for 20 years, founded and presided over 3d Lacrosse, and helped hundreds of athletes get recruited. I’ve been a High School and youth coach, I’ve coached club boys and girls teams, and I’ve gone through the recruiting process with two of my three children, one of whom was an early recruit and one a late bloomer. I literally have seen the sport from every angle and I believe I have developed the best model for helping players be the best they can be and getting the looks they deserve”.
