How I can help you improve your game:
I am focused on developing a lacrosse player's fundamentals and getting "back to the basics". Much of the lacrosse world has changed over the years, and it's important to continue developing players from the ground up.
For an offensive player - learning how to play within a system is just as important as being able to shoot the ball fast. Smart players get the most playing time.
For a defensive player - playing 1 on 1 defense the proper way - unselfishly.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Basics: Bonding, Stickwork (passing and catching), Footwork, mental reps and learning the game.
Defense - stickwork 2.0, defensive positioning, defending picks, how to throw checks properly
Offense - stickwork 2.0, shooting mechanics, picking, dodging
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached NXT Lacrosse, a club team locally in the area, for several years.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Mike Keating - Malvern Prep - Freshman and Sophomore Year
Although only working with Coach Keating for a short time, he instilled the fundaments into my game that stuck with me through my lacrosse playing days. Practices were not fun, but Mike was genuinely interested in our improvement. I give him credit for most of my successes.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I only started playing lacrosse my 8th grade year and was the first commitment in my class (in the Phiadelphia region) to a big time lacrosse school. I'm a prime example that quality teaching and hard work can lead to tremendous improvement and succes on the lacrosse field, even in a short period of time.
Outside of lacrosse, I am a driven hard working professional. I work in investment management outside of coaching lacrosse. I am passionate about all sports including football which bleeds into my style of lacrosse teaching. I have a lovely wife and black labradoodle named Whels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
