WYC 118 – Goalie Mental Toughness – Damon Wilson - Being a Lax Goalie Rat Damon Wilson is a lacrosse goalie coach. He learned to play goalie from scratch and now he shares everything he's learned along the way at Lax Goalie Rat. His coaching benefits from the fact that he didn't grow up being a lacrosse goalie. In Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath, they talk about something called The Curse of Knowledge. This is the “curse” people have that makes it hard for them to teach something they know to a person who knows nothing about it. It can be tough to gauge and hard to assume how much your student already knows. Since there were some areas of goalie that were new to him, as he did the research, it was easier to translate into something young goalies can understand. |
