I'm a women's/girl's lacrosse goalie coach and an avid stick stringer! I was an accomplished four-year starting goalie for SCSU in the NE10 at the Division II level and am now coaching collegiate players. I have a passion for lacrosse and love sharing that with players eager to learn. Outside of lacrosse I'm an avid outdoors person who loves a variety of activities outside and loves animals!
I'm a coach that emphasizes fundamentals and having a strong mental game for goaltenders and all players.
Warmups will include my favorite training tool, the agility ladder, along with reaction balls. Then we'll do drills focusing on good goalie technique and muscle memory based on the players experience level, and ending with fun drills and other training methods that improve hand-eye coordination and overall athleticism, juggling is a fan favorite.
I was an accomplished 4 year starter at SCSU in the NE10, winning multiple awards and a consistent top conference leader in saves. Coached Girls' Varsity Lacrosse at Choate Rosemary Hall and Women's Lacrosse at Post University.
Two coached that were my favorite and both made a significant impact on my life, my goalie coach as a teenager, April Pollock, and my head coach at SCSU Kevin Siedlecki. Coach April inspired me to pursue my education in Sports Management and to be the best goalie I could, while Coach Kevin supported me throughout my education and playing career, providing me with invaluable knowledge and how to build a positive and winning program culture.
I have a strong passion for lacrosse and sports and I love to express that with players, I coach with positivity and resilience at the forefront for player development and to instill a foundation for being a good person.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
