Athletic Goalie Play

with Ray Finnegan,
U.S. Naval Academy Assistant Lacrosse Coach

Under the guidance of Coach Ray Finnegan, the Naval Academy has manufactured a number of standout goalkeepers. His knowledge and teaching ability produced All-American goalies in 1992, 1999, 2000, and 2004. This DVD will introduce the two cornerstones of goalie play: athleticism and discipline. Coach Finnegan's attention to discipline includes physical and mental preparation. Through this discipline comes aggressive, low-risk goalie play. In addition, Finnegan covers vital techniques such as the readiness position, position in goal relative to the ball, how to hold the pipe, mechanics of a save, defending the bounce shot, defending the feed, and much more. Throughout this disc, he highlights teaching points that are critical to athletic play in the goal. This comprehensive presentation lends insight into championship goalie play from one of America's finest teachers!
