Get to know Coach Joe
About Me:
I was a four-year starter at the collegiate level, serving as team captain for three of those years, after competing at the varsity level in high school. My playing experience has given me a deep understanding of the game, leadership, and teamwork. This background allows me to offer firsthand insights into what it takes to excel on the field, from technical skills to game-day mentality.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help improve your game by tailoring my coaching to your specific needs, focusing on both the technical and mental aspects of lacrosse. Whether it's enhancing stick skills, refining positioning, or developing game strategy, I provide targeted drills and real-time feedback to boost your performance. My experience coaching at all levels allows me to identify areas of improvement and build a personalized plan to strengthen your weaknesses and maximize your strengths.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is high-paced and focused on maximizing repetitions to build muscle memory and skill development. Each session is tailored to the player's specific needs, whether it's sharpening stick work, improving footwork, or developing game IQ. We work through targeted drills that push you to your limits while ensuring you get plenty of reps at game speed. By keeping the intensity high and customizing each practice, you'll see steady improvement in both technique and performance on the field.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With 15 years of experience coaching lacrosse at all levels—college, high school, club, and camps—I offer a comprehensive approach to player development. My coaching focuses on refining fundamentals, enhancing game strategy, and building confidence for athletes at any stage of their journey. Whether you're just starting or playing at an advanced level, I tailor my training to meet your individual needs and help you reach your full potential on the field.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my college coach, Jim Ricardo. He led with a powerful combination of passion, compassion, and intensity that inspired everyone around him. Coach Ricardo's love for the game was contagious, and he pushed us to be our best, not just as athletes, but as individuals. His intensity drove our performance, but it was balanced with genuine care for each player, making us feel valued both on and off the field. His leadership style taught me the importance of balancing high expectations with understanding and support, something I carry into my own coaching today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I am deeply committed to each athlete’s personal and athletic growth. As both a coach and a teacher, I prioritize clear communication, patience, and individualized training plans that build confidence and skills. My experience coaching at all levels and my background in education allow me to adapt to different learning styles, ensuring that athletes feel supported as they work towards their goals. Passionate about the game and dedicated to my athletes, I strive to foster a positive environment that emphasizes both development and enjoyment of the sport.

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!
