ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Deemer Class and Matt Dunn host Jamie Munro, former Brown player, longtime college coach (including Yale as an assistant and Denver’s first Division I head coach), founder of 3d Lacrosse, and current head of JM3 Lacrosse. Munro recounts discovering lacrosse as a child, favoring soccer and pickup sports before choosing lacrosse late in high school, and stumbling into coaching through Australia, Colorado, and then Yale. He discusses Dom Starsia’s player-development emphasis and freer play models, plus the influence of Dave Huntley and box lacrosse on his box-field hybrid philosophy. Munro defines the constraints-led approach (ecological dynamics) as intentional, variable, game-context training that develops lacrosse IQ through reading “what are we doing, what are they doing,” using constraints, accountability scoring, and co-design, while balancing limited practice time and isolated skill work.
