Podcast appearances and mentions of Dave Pietramala

Son of legendary coach Dave Pietramala, Dom joins the podcast to talk with Quint about the Carolina Tar Heels season and some of his training rituals.

Dave Pietramala is the only person in the history of college lacrosse to win a Division I national championship as both a player and a head coach. His accomplishments also include 2X defenseman of the year, most outstanding player of the year, most wins in Johns Hopkins history and National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. What really separates him is his love for competing and his focus on the fundamentals, discipline and relationships. His mindset is to “be great at the things that don't take any talent.” He is successful because he was well trained on knowledge, delivery and transparency.

Legendary Coach Dave Pietramala (Syracuse Lacrosse) sits down with Quint as they take a deep dive into the quaterfinal matchups. They discuss matchups, tactics, and potential weaknesses of each of the 8 remaining teams. Tune in for this high level breakdown. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lax-all-stars/message

D-Fly and Dixie preview this weekend's biggest games, including three Top 20 matchups and Dave Pietramala's return to Homewood Field as the Syracuse Orange take on the Blue Jays.

(NOTE: This game has been moved to Friday at 6 p.m. due to pending inclement weather on Saturday.) They also talk about the return of D-Fly's all-time favorite Netflix series, The Last Kingdom, a fun afternoon of lacrosse in Georgetown, Inside Lacrosse's new Fantasy Lacrosse games and much, much more.  In this week's fantasy sports-inspired Give & Go, D-Fly asks Dixie what are the least interesting topics to bring up to co-workers at the proverbial “water cooler.”

New Syracuse men's lacrosse defensive coordinator, Dave Pietramala joins the show to talk about the impact he will be bringing to the Orange defense.

New Syracuse men's lacrosse defensive coordinator, Dave Pietramala joins the show to talk about the impact he will be bringing to the Orange defense.

OK, so news first, Gary Gait, Syracuse's new head coach, only the 5th in the programs history, wasted no time making headlines in hiring Dave Pietramala, former adversary, and long time head coach at Cuse rival Johns Hopkins. Pietramala is one of the most storied players and coaches in the game. Largely considered the greatest defensive lacrosse player in the history of the sport, Petro has won national titles as both a player at Hopkins and as a coach (2005 and 2007). So this hire is huge news. Potentially huge because it's possible both of Pietramala's sons could end up ditching North Carolina for Syracuse as well now that this change has been made. My sources are telling me it's pretty much a done deal, but we'll see. And it's also time to put the 2021 NCAA season to rest with our end of the year player awards, so here is the "LaxFactor All NCAA Lacrosse Squad" as well as my player of the year awards...

It's #WouldYouRatherWednesday here on GCR (brought to you by Glory Days Grill)-would you rather the Ravens have to pay a 1st and 3rd round pick for Julio Jones or the Chiefs get him for a 2nd?

Dave Pietramala and Johns Hopkins have agreed to part ways and Petro is out as the head coach for the Bluejays. A national search for a new head coach is now underway at Hopkins. Petro went 207-93 with 18 NCAA Tournament appearances between 2002 and 2019. He won titles in 2005 and 2007. It's a sad day for all of us lacrosse fans, even those that had been calling for his head the last 4 or 5 seasons.

Hosted by former Virginia attackman Joe Yevoli, the GameChanger podcast dives deep into the life and outlook of Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala.

Dave Pietramala is widely regarded as the greatest defenseman in lacrosse history. As a member of the U.S. National Hall of Fame, he’s the only person to have won an NCAA national championship as both a player and coach, and the only person to be named both the NCAA player and coach of the year. Incredible. Pietramala – "Coach Petro" – recruited me to play under him at Johns Hopkins University in 2005, where we competed in three NCAA national championships, and winning two. Coach taught me how to work hard, compete, be humble, and respectful. He always harped on “the little things” – like keeping a clean locker room, hustling in between reps, being the first in line, and making eye contact. Each of these learned tactics translate into professional sports, business, and relationships. On the show, we take a drive down memory lane, revisiting learning moments and major adjustments from my freshman year in college. I was fortunate to step onto the field with one of the best senior classes our sport has ever seen, and one that completed an undefeated season, going 16-0. Coach Petro shares with us his origin story, why he chose to play at Johns Hopkins, and what the one-on-one battles were like with our sport’s greatest player, Gary Gait. In 1990, Pietramala’s coaching career began, taking his first coaching gig as an assistant coach for Gilman high school. From there, he earned a part-time collegiate assistant coaching position that paid him $3,000. To supplement his lower wage, Pietramala worked at an aluminum extrusion factory from 6am to 2pm. His subsequent coaching positions took him through the University of Pennsylvania, Loyola College, and Cornell, where he was named the NCAA Coach of the Year. In 2001, Pietramala took the head coaching position at his alma mater, where he’s helped revitalize the Hopkins program. He’s won two national championships, been to seven Final Fours, sixteen NCAA tournaments, and winner of the 2015 Big 10 conference championship. Other topics from our conversation include: -       What makes a high performance competitor -       The importance of feedback -       Pietramala’s biggest regret -       Recruiting: what Pietramala is looking for in a young lacrosse player -       I teach him how to use Twitter Enjoy the show.
