Book Private Strength-and-speed Lessons with Coach Kadri

I’ve played lacrosse since 5th grade, starting on one of the earliest teams in Forsyth County. My playing career spans middle school, high school, travel, and collegiate levels (D3, ODAC conference), with experience in multiple positions, including middie, attack, and LSM. I’ve been a leader on the field, excelling in ground balls and game IQ. As a coach, I’ve guided U13 and U15 teams and privately trained high school athletes, helping them refine their skills and achieve their goals. My passion for lacrosse, combined with my experience as both a player and coach, has allowed me to positively impact the growth of young athletes both on and off the field.

I focus on developing a player’s fundamentals, game IQ, and confidence. Through tailored drills and personalized feedback, I help athletes refine their skills, improve field awareness, and understand strategic aspects of the game. Whether it’s perfecting stick skills, enhancing footwork, or building mental toughness, my coaching is designed to address specific areas for growth. Beyond the technical side, I also emphasize teamwork, leadership, and discipline to help players not only excel on the field but also grow as individuals.

In addition to skill development, I integrate strength and conditioning training to help athletes improve their physical performance. I focus on building endurance, speed, agility, and core strength to ensure players can maintain peak performance throughout the game. This training is essential for injury prevention, boosting overall athleticism, and giving players the stamina and power they need to outlast their competition.

Each session is tailored to the athlete’s needs and goals, but a typical training starts with a dynamic warm-up to improve mobility and prevent injuries. We then focus on skill development—this could include stick work, dodging, shooting, or defensive positioning. Next, we incorporate situational drills to simulate game scenarios and build field awareness. Depending on the player’s position, we may work on specific strategies like clearing, rides, or faceoffs. The session ends with conditioning and a recap of key takeaways to track progress and set goals for the next session. My goal is to create a challenging yet supportive environment to help players grow.

Coach Dan was by far my best coach. He was the one that convinced me I could play at the next level which helped pay for my college. Before I met him, the sport was more of a hobby, but afterwards, starting my junior year, I received multiple contacts from D1, D2, and D3 schools.

I’m passionate about lacrosse and giving back to the sport that shaped who I am today. With over a decade of experience as a player and coach, I’ve competed at the middle school, high school, travel, and collegiate levels (D3, ODAC conference). I’ve coached U13, U15, and high school players, tailoring my approach to each athlete’s needs. My focus is on building strong fundamentals, game IQ, and confidence on the field, while also teaching life skills like discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.

I’m driven by a love for lacrosse and a desire to help the next generation of players succeed. While my main career is as a Data Analytics Engineer, I coach as a way to give back to the sport and community that have given me so much. Lacrosse has taught me invaluable lessons, and my goal is to pass those on to young athletes, helping them grow both on and off the field.
