See What We Did in October [2020]
It's safe to say we had a great October.
Below you'll see all of the drills, strategy, trainings and resources we added this month.
New Coaching Classroom
Have you seen our new Coaching Classroom ? We updated so many things!
💚 NEW Member Hub - The new Member Hub hosts the NEW Introduction Assessment (you can complete that!), your Account Information and the NEW Coaching Spotlight Form (complete that, too!).
💚 Drills: In addition to the new icons for each drill, we added a “Sticky Navigation” with new categories, tags and a search bar that will help you search for and find exactly what you need. The Sticky Navigation will be on every drill page for ease of use!
💚 Guest Coaching Sessions: Each Session got an upgrade! We added more resources inside of each session & will continue to do so!
💚 Practice Plans: Katrina added sample practice plans to use as a guide to build your own. (Yes, please!)
💚 Coaching Tools: Pretty new icons & the Sticky Navigation to access Drills.
💚 NEW Strategy: This growing section will host all of our Strategy talks - Attack Plays, Defensive Sets and more!

Welcome Party Recap
💚 This month we welcomed Katrina Dowd to the WLD team.
💚 We gave away 2x Michelle Tumolo Shirts, Ladder & Cones & a Custom dyed and strung head by Laxtractive. Congrats to our winners!
💚 Katrina ended our call with a new Attack Play: Pick the Picker
This attack play is perfect for faceguard, getting a shot on goal when you need one, a close game, or a way to get into your motion.
It is a great play for all teams to have in their pocket and I highly recommend you watch Katrina's training!

🥍 Coaching Spotlight 🥍
Meet: Cori Conner
From coaching youth to coaching the Under Armour All America West Region Highlight Select Team & from running her Dying and Stringing business to reffing lacrosse (US Lacrosse Level 3), it's safe to say Cori has done it all!
When I say that Cori has done it all, she really has! She knows lacrosse from every aspect of the game: Stringer & Dyer, Ref, Coach, Player, and even as a League Commissioner (Northern California Junior Lacrosse Association). Cori can look at coaching from a very unique perspective to greatly serve her players.
We are thrilled to have Cori in our community!
