Paul Rabil’s Lacrosse Trick Shots with Dude Perfect

It has been a great year for Paul Rabil. After being traded from the Boston Cannons to the New York Lizards in early January, Rabil excelled during the regular season. He scored 24 goals and contributed another 15 assists during the season, and then went on to dominate during the playoffs as well. Rabil and the Lizards would wind up winning the Steinfeld Cup as MLL Champions, and Rabil claimed the Coca-Cola Player of the Game MVP award for the championship.

Through all that success, however, Rabil still found some time away from training to hang out with the guys from Dude Perfect. They filmed and released another epic video, this time centered around Paul Rabil and some incredible lacrosse trick shots.

The Dude Perfect guys also had time to interview Rabil. One of the most interesting things was about his diet. He maintains his peak physical shape by starting his day with a whey protein shake. He’ll also eat 8-10 eggs, mushrooms, spinach and kale for breakfast. For lunch, he’ll eat chicken breast. Rabil adds in two fish per week, usually salmon. He adds that he’ll later eat more chicken, brussel sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, some fruit or berries, and of course lots of water.

Rabil’s hard work and fine tuned eating have paid off in big ways for the lacrosse star. Check out the video below for some of Rabil’s amazing lacrosse trick shots, and a whole lot of awesomeness from Dude Perfect.

High School Lacrosse Goalie Scores on Full Field Shot

Lacrosse goalies aren’t really known for their offensive prowess. Their main duty in the net is to stop goals, not score them.

This, however, was not the case for Bryan Cooper of La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, CA. Cooper and his Mavericks team were playing at the Adrenaline Challenge in Del Mar, CA, when Cooper saw his opportunity.

After collecting a pass from a teammate who was scrambling to get out of traffic, Cooper hurled the ball the entire length of the field and soared it over the opposing goalies head, one hopping into the net.

What an incredible goal and highlight of the tournament for Cooper. The senior goalie is set to graduate this spring, but is still undecided on where he will take his talents at the college level.

For now, check out the video of this incredible goal below. Have you ever seen anything like this before? Leave us your thoughts in the comments!

The Men of Harvard Lacrosse

There are a lot of great lacrosse YouTube videos out there for our viewing pleasure. Many of them will feature highlights, or how-to tips and guides to improve your skill. One of my personal favorites, however, is The Men of Harvard Lacrosse.

This video was published on April 9th, 2012. At the time, the Harvard men’s lacrosse team was finishing up a tough spring where they closed the season with three straight losses. The video, however, would not lead you to believe that this was a struggling team. In fact, the video maintains an element of tremendous power for the Harvard lacrosse team. It was so well done, that I felt obligated to share with everyone.

Keep in mind this video has a running time of about 20 minutes, so make sure you have the time to watch it all. It will definitely be a little motivating for you to get out and train or play, but those are the kind of videos we all love.
