S2 E12. Chemotti's Web: The Spider's 2X Conference COY & His Iron Lattice of Consistency, Part III.

In this third and final installment of our interview series with 2X ASUN COY, the Richmond Spiders Head Coach, Dan Chemotti, we hear of Coach's pillars of success for building a powerfully consistent program.

After over fifty interviews with top college coaches and skills trainers, Chemotti unearths a concept we have not heard before on the show and it makes absolute sense as to why it is a must for any lacrosse player to implement if they'd like to achieve high levels of excellence. Listen in and learn from this grand lax master!

And we don’t stop there. Having led the Spiders to the conference championship game in all eleven of his seasons at the helm, we delve into how recruiting the “right” players, not simply the most talented, is essential to Richmond’s success. Learn what ingredients top college coaches are looking for out on the recruiting trail as they gather the ingredients for a stew that must be tasty and yet pack a punch.

And finally, our roving reporter, Steve Gresalfi, hops on board to deliver some intriguing and quite questionable listener questions. In particular he delves into how Richmond became the Spiders and what the breakfast food options were like in Hanover, N.H. compared to Queens, NY. This is another jam packed episode that you won’t want to miss. Sit back, enjoy, and take it all in!
