Celebrate International Women’s Day With Triple Threat Elite Girls Lacrosse

March 8th is International Women’s Day and Triple Threat Elite Girls Lacrosse is highlighting impactful women in lacrosse. We are so grateful for and proud of our coaching staff and what they do to uplift the women and girls in our community.

Lori Brown- Director & Founder of Triple Threat Elite

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?

People are immediately engaged when you lead with passion. Even if you don’t yet believe you have perfected the best way to share your knowledge or your experiences with the game, embrace any small moments to chip in and express your point of view and expertise. You will be surprised by those that are impacted by what you are able to share!  It doesn’t have to be perfect!  Just jump in and help spread the love of the game in any way you can. 

Julie Featherman- Triple Threat Elite 2029 Coach

How do you empower yourself and the girls/women in the lacrosse community?
I would like to think that as a coach I help girls find their voice. By coaching with compassion and enthusiasm and being open to conversations with my athletes, my hope is that they learn to speak up and advocate for themselves. There is a place for everyone in athletics and lacrosse is a fun way to explore community, competition and a healthy lifestyle. I try to live the concepts that I teach!

Is there a challenge you overcame on your way to the leadership role you currently have that you would like to share with others?
We talk a lot about challenges and to be honest it’s because of the challenges that women faced in the past that I don’t feel like I have overcome significant challenges to be where I am. I feel like athletics and lacrosse have awarded me specific life skills that have allowed me to take a proverbially seat at the table with out having to fight for it. I earned my leadership position from hard work and merit and I wasn’t set back because of my gender. I get to exist, equal to my counterparts, because of the struggles of women in the recent past and also because of the wonderful community that I am a part of.

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?
Be an athlete. Work hard. Practice. Above all, be a good teammate. Once you get these things down you’ll be hard to beat. Being a part of a team or community requires active participation in a positive way. It’s not always easy, but if you do the hard stuff then the rest is fun.

Rosie Lachner- Triple Threat Elite 2025 Steel Coach

How do you empower yourself and the girls/women in the lacrosse community?
In the lacrosse community, I try to make my voice heard with how tough these girls are we take just as much as anyone and I make sure to let my girls know they are more than capable of anything they set their mind to. A big thing I think about as I play and I stand by coaching to is confidence over cockiness if you are confident off the field you are going to be confident coming into every practice, game, etc.

Is there a challenge you overcame on your way to the leadership role you currently have that you would like to share with others?
I think the biggest challenge I’ve overcome is myself. I grew up wearing my heart on my sleeve and beating myself up for everything wrong I do when all I have to think about is the little things and the growth I’ve had as a person, player, teammate, and coach. I like to set little goals for myself in addition to my goals for my team and push myself to the best I can be. I’ve learned to be kind to myself.

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?
There is always a way to get to where you want to be as an athlete and in life overall. Whether there’s 10 stops along the road or 100 nothing is every going to come easy you have to want it for yourself so bad that you will achieve it. The work you put in gives everyone around you a reason to work harder.

Jazzy Cachimbo- Triple Threat Elite Director of Player Development

How do you empower yourself and the girls/women in the lacrosse community?
What a phenomenal question. I empower myself by self positive talk. If it’s looking in the mirror and giving myself positive affirmations or if speaking out loud “you got this”. I empower my community by giving back to young children that don’t have the opportunity to play sports everyday.

Is there a challenge you overcame on your way to the leadership role you currently have that you would like to share with others?

A challenge that I had to overcome was it’s okay to put yourself first even if it makes others or loved ones upset.

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?
Before helping other. Help yourself. Find who you are. Understand yourself and know what makes you happy. Once you have a sense of who you are. You are able to help and impact others. Because you will be confident in what you’re preaching to others.

Jaimie Peterson- Triple Threat Elite 2028 Coach

How do you empower yourself and the girls/women in the lacrosse community?

Something that was instilled in me as a young player is there is always room to grow: we are never at our maximum capacity for learning new things so I try to remind my players that we always have the ability to change, and to create new habits. I think it’s important to set goals and let my kids know that they have a voice and can make decisions for themselves. I can support my players but I want them to feel empowered and advocating for themselves is part one of getting there.

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?

Never stop being a student of the game! Lacrosse has been a part of my life for 21 years (I started playing when I was 7) and to this day I look forward to LAXCON and other resources that allow me to learn what’s new in the sport.

Debra Minzola Jimenez- Triple Threat Elite Parent & Coach, Head Coach North Hunterdon High School Girls Lacrosse

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?
Show your love and passion for this sport through relentless dedication, positive energy and commitment to life long learning of strategies and concepts

Sharla Klaus- Triple Threat Elite 2029 Coach

How do you empower yourself and the girls/women in the lacrosse community?
Always show up for yourself and each other and be kind

Is there a challenge you overcame on your way to the leadership role you currently have that you would like to share with others?
Coaching skills (vs observing lacrosse as a parent) really developed through relationships with several great coach mentors and a lot of academic learning, to truly evolve

What advice would you give to girls and women who want to be impactful in the girl’s/women’s lacrosse community?
No one knows everything and that’s ok. Ask questions, observe and apply. There are a lot of great coaches out there who are always willing to share their perspective and give tips. Try, adjust and make it your own.

Triple Threat Elite Lacrosse Mission, History, & Partnerships

Lacrosse Injury Recovery: What Parents Need to Know

Parents, especially those of athletes, have the extremely tough job of looking out for the best interest of their child on and off the playing field. At a moment’s notice, a parent can go from their child’s best friend to their worst enemy. As if this job isn’t hard enough, dealing with the emotions of an injured athlete can make navigating this job even more difficult and that is why it is important that parents remember to stay calm, listen and be supportive. 

Stay Calm

Sustaining an injury and realizing the length of time needed for recovery in order to return to a sport is a very stressful time for an athlete. If we then include the daily stressors placed on the athlete such as schoolwork and maintenance of social relationships and eliminate the physical activity which they may use to release stress, we may find that this athlete is completely overwhelmed. As a healthcare professional, I sometimes see parents who place additional stress on an athlete by not believing the extent of their child’s injury or by pushing their child to return to the playing field quicker than advised by their doctor, physical therapist, or certified athletic trainer. Parents need to remember that their child is not playing in a professional league and that missing one practice, game or tournament is not going to ruin their career. Most importantly parents must remember that their child is going to look to lean on them for support during this difficult time, so it is imperative that they remain positive, calm and their biggest fan throughout the recovery process. 

Be Supportive

Athletes go through a range of emotions to include shock, anger, fear, frustration, and isolation following sustaining an injury. During this difficult time, athletes often feel that their coach has stopped caring about them, that their teammates have no time to spend with them, that friends are no longer around and that their social life consists only of rehabilitation. Although this may not be the intentions of their coach, friends, and teammates these feelings, and fears are real for the athlete and the parent must be able to recognize these emotions and continually reassure the athlete that they are on the road to recovery and every day that passes is one day closer to getting back on the field.

Be a Great Listener

Does it seem like your child is always getting hurt or that your athlete can’t seem to recover from a past injury? If so, it is time to dig deeper to try and find the root cause. What we mean by this is sometimes the injury is deeper than surface level and recovery times are being hindered by the 

athlete’s emotions and we must be able to detect this. Athletes, especially in today’s world, are being pushed by coaches, parents, and friends to be faster and stronger and sometimes this means playing the same sport 365 days a year for multiple hours each day. Keeping up with this pace can only last so long before the athlete experiences burnout, staleness, overuse injuries and ultimately a decreased likeness of the sport in which they are involved. These signs of symptoms of overtraining can be detrimental to an athlete’s career and therefore parents should monitor and look to prevent this from happening by allowing the athlete to take a season off or encouraging them to play a different sport altogether just for fun during one season.

Parents of athletes must remember that sports, in this case, lacrosse, are supposed to be FUN! Lacrosse should be utilized as a way for their child to release negative stress and energy and also as a way for them to build new social circles. Creating negative energy around injuries, or sports, in general, will only deter your child from wanting to participate and can lead to more frequent injuries with lengthened recovery times.

Importance of Sleep From JAG-One Physical Therapy

School is back in session and that means busy schedules are back on the calendar.

How important is sleep for an athlete? 

Although sleep is most times overlooked when planning out a training regimen, it should be considered as equally important as nutrition and physical conditioning. Sleep experts have been studying the effects of sleep deprivation for many years and have determined that the lack of sleep affects the athlete greatly in the following ways:

• Slowed Reaction Times- A slowed reaction time of even one second due to mental fatigue from sleep deprivation can make all the difference on a lacrosse field. Sleep studies on athletes have shown that a single “all-nighter” has decreased reaction times by up to 300%. With that in mind, imagine standing in front of a goal when the lacrosse ball comes flying at you! Slowed reaction times lead not only to missed pass or goal opportunities, but can result in injuries as well.
• Increased Injury Rates- While we sleep our bodies use this time to repair, regenerate and re-energize. After a long practice or game, when an athlete has fatigued their body and mind, sleep becomes crucial. Muscle fatigue and breakdown, which occurs after strenuous activity, needs adequate time to heal for the muscles to repair and regenerate before the next activity in order to refrain from injury. Elevated levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, has also been shown to interfere negatively with tissue repair and growth  As discussed above, sleep deprivation can also lead to slowed down reaction times which can lead to injury in the form of a collision with another player or being hit by a ball you didn’t see coming your way. 
• Energy Storage- Glucose and glycogen (stored glucose) are the main sources of energy for athletes. In a healthy athlete, glucose is stored in the muscle and is released as the body is put under physical stress. Those who are sleep deprived may experience lower energy storage levels, which is needed to perform at peak levels in endurance events like lacrosse. 

With busy schedules, often sleep suffers and no one really thinks about the lack of sleep impacting peak performance.  Does it? 

In today’s fast-paced world sleep is thought of as a luxury as opposed to a necessity. This way of thinking needs to change, especially in the athletic population if a peak performance is expected out of the body every time it touches the lacrosse field. Please see above for negative effects of sleep deprivation. 

What are the recommended hours of sleep for youth and adult athletes/lacrosse players?

This is a hard question to answer because like with most things in the human body, number of hours of sleep needed is individually based, especially when we are talking about athletes. Sleep experts for many years have recommended 9-10 hours of sleep for the average adolescent or teen and 7-9 hours for the average adult, but those hours may need to be increased for the athletic population. Heightened physical demands are placed on an athlete’s body due to increased energy expenditures and fatigue of muscles following a workout and the proper sleep allotment will allow the body the time it needs to recover and re-energize. See below for a simple way to see if you are giving your body the right amount of sleep time. 

Is it curative? Or is it that our bodies just need sleep to function – and think clearly on the field?

As mentioned above sleep is when our bodies and mind take the time to rest and recover. Muscular fatigue is repaired, and cells are regenerated, our immune systems are strengthened, and our body and brains are re-energized to prepare for the next day’s events. 

Any recommendation for athletes training at an elite level? 

We always tell athletes, no matter what level they are performing at that they need to listen to their own individual bodies. It is great to read over how Michael Phelps prepares for his days in the pool or how Hope Solo prepares for the stress filled 90 minutes defending the goal, but their preparation and recovery tactics may not work for everyone. When preparing for a physically demanding game or practice it is important to ensure that you are hydrated before, during and after, are well fed and have given your body the proper nutrition to supply the body with energy throughout the game and are well rested not only the night before and after the event but for a few weeks prior and after. 

How do you know if you need more sleep? How would you know if you are sleep deprived?

An easy way to estimate number of hours of sleep needed can be determined by experimenting with your sleep schedule for a week or so. It can be assumed that you are getting the appropriate number of hours of sleep if you fall asleep gradually within 20 minutes of hitting the pillow and awake in the morning without the need for the snooze button or blaring alarm. On the opposite side of the spectrum, if you are finding yourself asleep before you even hit the pillow, yawning throughout the day and need to hit the snooze button three times or sleep through your alarm, you are not getting enough sleep.

Tournament Season Advice From JAG-One Physical Therapy

Tournament season is kicking off across America which means that our young athletes will be physically and mentally taxing their bodies by playing multiple games per day in the hot, summer sun. Therefore, it is our job as coaches and parents to give them the proper tools they need to stay healthy and performing at their best throughout this short, competitive season. 

1. Start the day off with a well-balanced meal. Tournament days can be long days. Fuel the athlete’s body with the appropriate nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, good fats) so it can sustain the stressors placed upon it throughout the day! Remember to stay away from any greasy or heavy meals as this will slow the athlete down during play.
   • Before Exercise: It is best to eat 1-2 hours before beginning exercise and the meal should consist of healthy carbohydrates. Examples include oatmeal, bananas, whole wheat toast, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 
   • After Exercise: It is best to eat 20-60 minutes following exercise so that your body can use the nutrients for recovery. The meal or snack should include a mixture of proteins and healthy carbohydrates. Examples include grilled chicken, yogurt, protein bar or shake. 
2. Complete a proper warm-up and cool- down. Be sure to run through a proper warm-up and cool-down of dynamic and static stretches, as well as plyometrics, before and after playing each game. These routines can help prevent injuries during the game and will prepare the body for the next game.
3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. Our bodies crave water! This becomes especially true during periods of high intensity activity or extended heat exposure.  Water consumption should begin 72 hours before activity by drinking six to eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day. During activity, one should drink six ounces of fluid (preferably water) every 15 minutes and should then rehydrate following activity with 32 ounces of liquid per 1 pound of fluid loss.
4. Find a shady spot– Heat related illness, such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat syncope are all brought about with exertion- even with proper hydration- and can be dangerous for the athlete if not recognized and treated early. In an attempt to reduce onset of these heat illnesses, reduce sun exposure as much as possible by placing the sideline bench in the shade and remaining in the shade in between games. Although it may be hot outside, reducing the amount of sun exposure can aid in cooling down one’s body as well as reduces the risk of sun burn.   
5. Be prepared. Check the weather report and pack sunscreen, umbrellas or a change or clothes.  Pack extra snacks for a quick bite on- the- go.  Check the tournament schedule and plan accordingly. Of course there are always unforeseen events that can take place, but being prepared for the day ahead leaves a smaller chance for mishaps and added stressors. 
6. Utilize breaks wisely. We don’t see professional or even college level teams playing two to three games in a day or five to six games over the course of a weekend simply because it is very stressful on the body and leaves little to no time to recover. Due to time restrictions however, our youth athletes are subjected to this type of play over the course of tournament season so parents and coaches should be aware of breaks in the schedule and should utilize this time wisely. Have the athlete relax in a cooler climate or shady area, re-hydrate, fuel up, and ice down any aches and pains.
7. HAVE FUN! The most important thing to remember is that sports are supposed to be fun and winning the game, or scoring the most goals, shouldn’t be the only goal! Lacing up those cleats, getting some exercise and building team camaraderie should be considered a win in anybody’s book.

Tournament season can be a fun experience for our youth lacrosse players but we must remember the above in order to minimize risk of injury and maximize their level of play!

Our goal is to help build self-confidence and teamwork skills using a positive instructional approach in the programs we create. We emphasize that a strong work ethic leads to long term success. We help players to understand that the effort that they put in benefits not only themselves but the team as well. Lacrosse is a game that builds life skills for young girls. Everything that we do is designed with the goal of making a lasting impact on players.
