In high-school I played defense, attack, and midfield. I was the face off specialist my junior and senior year. I was the captain of the team my junior and senior year and was on the all star team my senior year. I coached youth lacrosse in SWFL from ages of 7 to 15 for 4 years. I coached JV and Varsity lacrosse for 2 years.

My beast coach was Geoff Moore my junior year in high-school. He taught me about dedication and brought a new level of knowledge to the sport for me. He helped me grow into a better player, captain, and person. He made sure we learned something but also had fun.

I truly love the sport and love to teach. If I had the free time and availability I would tech for free as I did for the youth teams and high-school teams I coached. Teaching people about lacrosse and watching them get the most out of them selves and take there experiences off the feel gives me great purpose.

I coached 4 years of youth lacrosse in the local SWFL system with my great friend Cheryl Thirtyacre. Before that I coached on the JV an Varsity lacrosse team at Fort Myers High-school.

I believe I'd can help improve a players knowledge they currently have and bring out a level of fun with hard work that will make them want to keep playing for years to come. Having played every position but goalie I know what to look for and improve on in every position.

Cardio is a must and always first. It's the fastest game on two feet and if you can't keep up with the other players up and down the field it doesn't matter how good you are stamina will win. Light stretching after running. Nothing to evasive just enough to warm you up. Line drills or passing drills. Everyday you have to start by getting used to the feeling of the stick in your hands before getting started. From there it would depend on position. For attack a lot of emphasis on foot work for working around the crease and defenders. Attack men are the top scores and need to be able to create space. Ball control and shooting drills are secondary but important to every position. For defense men footwork and understanding defensive slides would be a key point in training. Making sure they understand when and where to move. Body position compared to the ball and player he's guarding is important. For midfield it's a little bit of both. Being both offensive and defensive you have to know everything. Face offs would be a key practise as midfield usually is in charge of face offs. From there depending on the player and there needs I would have specific training and drills to fine tune to their needs.
