For the podcast I love talking to all types of goalies. Mostly we’re focused on college and pro but in this episode I had the chance to speak to a young 14 year old goalie Austin Kitces.
I enjoy these types of conversations as I love hearing young goalies stories and offering advice and help where I can.
Austin has about 4-5 years of goalie experience after starting in the 4th grade.
Despite being a little shared of the shots (who isn’t?) he stuck with it as his team needed a goalie. He enjoyed the team support after each save.
Listen to Austin take us through his young goalie career and explore some of the challenges and victories he’s experiences along the way.

Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life. Learn more about Coach Damon.
