If you have ever been to a big lacrosse event with a fan zone, such as a club tournament, a PLL game, or the college lacrosse national championship weekend, there is always one booth that has a line significantly longer than the others… the fastest shot. At first glance you would think that this line tends to be the longest because knowing how fast you shoot is cool, and who wouldn’t want to know that? And in most cases, you would be right. However, there are many benefits to shot speed that can make you a better player when applied.

If you were a youth lacrosse player at any point in your life, you have heard a coach yelling the words "SHOOT OVERHAND!" These two words are constantly repeated, seemingly with the only purpose of keeping you from shooting your sidearm shot to the top corner like your favorite professionals like you practice at home. However, these two words are not empty.

It is no mystery that the best way to improve as a lacrosse player is to get your stick in your hand. However, many players don’t want to put in the time and the effort to practice. The SPAITR Platform tracks reps for accountability, gamifying practice, and allowing for more focused practice.
