LGR 282: Goalie Gold with Adelphi Brick Wall Dylan Renner

Dylan Renner joins the show to unpack his journey from a kid on Long Island getting “sold” into the crease, to LIU, to Adelphi national champion, and finally a mid-week call up to the Archers. 

We cover the early struggles, the coach who gave him his first mental tools, and the technical tweaks that changed his off-stick game. Dylan shares how he learned different leadership styles from the crease, why he warms up with a short stick, what “aim small, miss small” did for his consistency, and how he stayed calm in overtime of the national championship. 

We finish with his PLL experience, training ideas you can steal, and advice for young goalies navigating recruiting and development.

Topics:

• Getting recruited into the crease and falling in love with goalie
• Mental game lessons that stuck for life
• Stance changes, foot angle fixes, and throwing the body low
• Short-stick TNT warmups and precision training
• Leadership from the crease without being the loudest guy
• Overtime national championship mindset
• The 9:30 pm Archers phone call
• Advice for recruits and young goalies today

If you coach or play goalie, this episode is loaded with takeaways you can use the next time you step on the field.
