Get to know Henry
With 17 years of lacrosse experience, including club, high school, and Division 1 at High Point University, where I was a team captain, I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and passion for lacrosse. I understand both the triumphs and challenges of the sport, from high-level competition to dealing with burnout and injuries. As a recent graduate, I am well-versed in the recruitment process and committed to helping players improve their skills while keeping the game enjoyable. My goal is to support athletes in reaching their highest potential, no matter their level.
How I can help you improve
As someone who has played nearly every position in the game, I am comfortable teaching all aspects of lacrosse. Playing primarily on the defensive end throughout college, I know technique, footwork, and IQ like the back of my hand. I also gained valuable insight into the offensive end, as at that level, you essentially have to learn offense to defend against it.
A typical training session
My training session is based on what we did at HPU for practice and extra work. Each drill has an in-game carryover. I am a believer in "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." I will teach technique and concepts slowly to make sure it is correct and then pick up the pace to make sure that technique can be executed at game speed.
Career & accomplishments
I have coached teams in summer camps and held private lessons while living in Florida over a summer in college.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I have ever had is my college coach, Coach Jon Torpey. Coach Torpey had a unique way of getting the absolute best out of his players every day in practice, while also being a father-like figure to each and every guy on the team. He is someone I can go to for the rest of my life, and he will do anything in his power to help me.
What athletes & parents should know
I am here to be a servant to your game. I have been through it all, so I am comfortable teaching X's and O's, technique, watching film, or being a guide through the recruiting process. My goal is to help each athlete reach their goals, whatever they might be.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
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.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
