Published 11 months ago
Description
Columbia College goalie Finn Landy joins the show to talk about his journey in the crease, from Raleigh youth lacrosse to South Carolina MCLA champ to NAIA starter and coach. Finn shares lessons on confidence, flow state, communication, clearing, film work, and developing young goalies. He also opens up about managing bipolar, staying even, and rediscovering joy in the game.
We dig into:
- How Finn first jumped into goal and never left
- Growing up around the UNC and Duke lacrosse scene
- Using film to read shooters and sharpen reactions
- Balancing reading the play vs reacting in the moment
- Why swagger matters for goalies
- Teaching confidence and communication to young keepers

- Returning to college lacrosse and leading a first year program
Plus, the power of coaching to understand the game on a deeper level, and how to love playing the position again.
