I'm excited to announce that Evolve Lacrosse and Salt Lax City, led by Tim McDermott, Assistant Coach at the University of Utah, are joining forces to deliver a more complete training experience for lacrosse players committed to taking their game to the next level. Our philosophy is simple: Develop the complete player—physically, technically, and mentally.  If you are playing on a club team, this is a supplement — not a replacement. Join when you can, pay month to month, and choose your experience. For boys and girls who love the game, want to learn, and want to become better — on and off the field.

 

I once heard a coach say something that has stuck with me: "When talent meets talent, talent is no longer enough." Think about that for a moment. As players progress in lacrosse, they will eventually reach a level where everyone is taented. Everyone has skills. Everyone is athletic. Everyone can compete. So what separates the good players from the great ones? It's their mindset. It's how they prepare when nobody is watching. It's how they respond to adversity, handle pressure, embrace challenges, and hold themselves accountable. It's their willingness to put in the work, even when it's difficult.

 

That's what we're building together. By combining high-level, on-field lacrosse instruction with intentional mindset development, Evolve Lacrosse and Salt Lax City will help athletes develop not just the skills to compete, but the mindset to succeed. Because talent might get you in the game, but your mindset determines how far you go.

 

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: create a fun, challenging environment where boys and girls of all ages and skill levels can develop their lacrosse skills, learn the game, and build the life skills that come from committing to something and working to improve.

​

Players learn skills, build their lacrosse IQ, compete, solve problems, and gain the mental tools to become more confident, focused, resilient—and comfortable with the process of getting better. Whether your child is picking up a stick for the first time or already competing at a high level, we’ll meet them where they are and help them take the next step.

 

Beyond the Game: Developing the Complete Athlete. 

Great players aren't developed through physical skills alone. They're built through preparation, discipline, resilience, and the right mindset. We believe developing the complete athlete means training both the body and the mind. Our approach combines high-level, on-field lacrosse instruction with intentional mindset training to help players build the skills, confidence, mental toughness, and habits necessary to reach their full potential.

Through our partnership with Salt Lax City, we focus on more than just improving stick skills, shooting, and game IQ. We teach athletes how to prepare with purpose, respond to adversity, embrace challenges, and take ownership of their development. Because when talent meets talent, talent is no longer enough. Mindset makes the difference.

​

Tim created an app (dojodecision.com) that lets players set their own goals and the daily habits behind them. Every time they open the app, it reminds them of their goals, and a coach can see who is doing the work, so you can hold them to the goals they chose.
