Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
Jonathan Montes is the best Coach/Mentor I have worked for. He has provided me countless opportunities in the lacrosse world and ultimately set up my career at an early age. He is an offensive Guru and naps on the bench before away games as a form of mental warfare.

How can you help someone improve their game?
If you love lacrosse and enjoy the goalie position, specifically training and learning about the position I am the coach for you. My intention is to offer value.
What does a typical training session look like?
An hour to an hour and a half. We will warm the hands and eyes up followed by some footwork. A new goalie should expect a longer warm up with shots to every spot. We will be looking for any deficiencies to work on specifically for the rest of the time we have together. You will always go home with a few drills specific to reinforcing the techniques we go over on any given day.
