that was just the up swing

is there anyone who can help me with the attack position and what main factors i need to put into this

shooting running catching things like that
and if you can help me that would be really nice

Because a golf swing is so specific, but uses so many components, I would suggest doing just a shot if you're doing attack, or a cradle.

Stick with a high to low shot and you have basically same thing as a golf swing

Well if you have a lacrosse team at your college (you might not yet) then you could try to find one of the players and have him tell you some face to face. It seems like you might need the names of the muscles and joints that you use. I can't really even name muscle that is on the bottom of my arm. If you watch some videos you might be able to just guess kinda on what muscles you would use. I think your best bet though would be to be able to watch some kids actually shoot.

This isnt too hard.....you basically listed every muscle in the body though. Give me a motion and I'll help break it down.

I second that. Could also provide vector analysis with physics if needed and disbursement of force in relationship to the movement.

Right now pursuing a degree in Corporate Finance but I have one in nutrition and dietetics. Also have a minor in accounting, minor in economics, and am pursuing CSCS certification. Have held at one point in time or another (some have expired as I haven't done continuing education) NSCA, ISSA, and ACE. Might get a degree sometime later in biomechanics as I truly enjoy it.

[Cburylax]

cbuy?

Degree in Nutritional Science, Minor in Sports medicine, NSCA CSCS for 5 years. Tons of continuing education seminars and lectures.

Now back on topic.....what are we going to break down?

ya....so where are we with this?

[Tehb2]

Shots:
Overhand
side arm
W/e we call a "high-to-low" shot (underhand?)
behind-the-back


A lot of attack shots are closer to the goal, so even though we might use all of the basic muscles in the arm, sometimes the shots are a lot of the wrist and are kind of a hard "flick". From more distance or with the "high-to-low" is when you get a real follow through that involves a lot of the shoulders, core, triceps, and biceps.

Movements would probably be sprints, rolls, shuffles and side steps (lateral?), and jumps.
