Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
The best coach I ever had was a college assistant who transformed my experience as a transfer student. Coming into a new team can be daunting, but she immediately recognized my potential, work ethic, IQ, and leadership abilities. She helped me find my voice and confidence despite injuries, and she encouraged me to step into the leadership role I aspired to. She nurtured my creativity on the field and was incredibly knowledgeable about lacrosse. More importantly, she was an amazing person who genuinely cared about her athletes, making her influence invaluable in my journey.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
What athletes and parents should know about me is that my passion for lacrosse runs deep, and I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge of the game. My goal is to help create great players while focusing on the athlete as a whole. Having faced adversity and injuries myself, I understand the importance of nurturing both the physical and mental aspects of the sport. I am committed to supporting each athlete's growth and development on and off the field.
Coaching Background
Summary of Coaching Background
My coaching journey began in 2020 with private training, where I’ve worked both one-on-one and in small groups. Over the past two years, I’ve served as an assistant high school lacrosse coach, gaining valuable experience in team dynamics and individual player development. Additionally, I’ve been part of running and working at numerous camps. These varied experiences have helped me grow as a coach, deepening my understanding of athletes' needs and refining my coaching style.
How can you help someone improve their game?
I can help athletes improve their game by focusing on the details, both big and small, ensuring they are always a step ahead of their peers. I emphasize the importance of shooting drills to enhance accuracy and power, and I work on improving lacrosse IQ by using specific terminology and encouraging open discussions. Early on, I prioritize stick skills, regardless of the player’s level, to build a strong foundation. My approach is holistic, aiming to develop well-rounded athletes who excel in every aspect of the game.
What does a typical training session look like?
A typical training session with me begins with assessing the athlete's level of play through a detailed discussion before we even hit the field. Based on this, I create a customized plan for the day, targeting areas that need the most improvement while keeping the session engaging and dynamic. I ensure drills are varied and don't drag on, maintaining the athlete's interest and energy. At the end of each session, I always ask if they have any questions, make sure they understand what we covered, and invite them to share one thing they liked and one thing they want to continue learning about.
