Thank you for #2 as well. I like and want the "TM" with the use of the words Soft Hands.
Interesting night last night - little sleep but lots of clarifying thoughts. The below info is intended to help clarify so you can build upon the concepts.
* our service is for boys and girls, male and female - boys lacrosse traditionally uses white balls, girl's lacrosse traditionally uses yellow balls.
* girls are just as athletic as guys (one of the girls showed up last week with a tee shirt "Girls Train - Boys Complain") - so you see, there is competitive edge in all of this.
* our training provides all of its participants an extreme competitive edge.
* fingertip control - is something that we teach from the git go. I like the encircled hand in #2 with thumb up and fingers exaggerated - it is kind of how a stick is held AND approval of Soft Hands, all in one expression. Good stuff. We need the same kind of a thing to impart approval/success of the power training as well.
* soft hands system - is unique - mechanics in sports are always necessary, but in lacrosse, mechanics are often ignored, which lead to bad habits, which leads to failure and departure from the game. Through the use of proper mechanics, we 'uniquely' teach AND combine 1) HOW to develop stickhandling skills - we break each mechanic down to develop good habits, and 2) HOW to run & develop the correct athletic skills to be successful as an athlete - we break each mechanic down to develop good habits. MOST KIDS FAIL because they are never taught what to do, in either area. We change that.
* we build proper mechanics into memory, develop them into habits, through 'reps'
* we supervise all activity daily through email communication - meet weekly. Everyone stays engaged.
* emphasis of Soft Hands, then, I can see in 2 areas for 2 distinct groups . We offer Training ... the area of stickhandling skills, and the area of athletic skills, and we do it together. The 2 distinct groups are 1) male, and 2) female.
* we make all training in both areas fun ... the kids can't wait to come back and are faithful to their "at home" training
* we develop self-esteem. You see it in the kids' approach as they gain personal self worth - walk proudly (not cockey), handle their sticks with confidence, have much more success in the game, which leads to 'long-term' involvement in the game instead of a short-lived, poor experience with the game.
These thoughts of excellence are the concepts I's like our logo, and collateral material, to engender, the moment you see it.
Tough job, I know. I appreciate ALL efforts.
Thanks a million.

Another thought. What SoftHands develops is great stickwork and a conditioned athlete ... we develop stickwork and athletic power ... we develop stickwork and Speed/power/agility ... what is unique is that we combine the two. What is also unique is that we get the job done, or at least well under way and highly motivated, in 21 days.
What we provide is science based stickwork training and science based power training. Thank you.

Thank you. I like the connection to lacrosse. And it is the Soft Hands that hold the stick that gives it its power. Sounds contradictory, I know. I am sorry if it causes confusion. Soft hands requires a balance. It is kind of 'fingertip control' of the stick. The language, Soft, implies femininity, but Soft Hands are needed to be successful by the toughest of male and femaie players alike. We teach players how to develop extraordinary "Soft Hands" in a short 21 days. Kind of unheard of. I know it is really tough to get an image to put all of those thoughts into someone's mind. I guess the collateral and supportive material help accomplish that?
Thank you for your effort. I hope you find these thoughts helpful in your development.
