The Jamie Munro Defense Academy Master Course
by Jamie Munro
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:

- 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

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.
