About Me:
I played the game from the age of 5 to 22 years old. I played travel for many of the top programs on Long Island. I was a starting attackman in the 8th grade for JV and tallied 32 points that season. I also was a three-year starter on Varsity and totaled 117 points in my HS career. Winning Two Catholic League Championships and Two All-League Selections as a Junior and Senior. As a senior, I was awarded Offensive Player of the Year by my teammates. Then, I played college ball at SUNY Brockport for four years where I was moved from attack to midfield.
How I can help you improve your game:
My coaching style emphasizes skill development through a mix of structured drills and creative gameplay, allowing athletes to understand both the mechanics of the sport and decision-making skills when the ball is in their stick. Additionally, I would highlight the importance of conditioning and agility training to improve overall athletic performance.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session depends on the age/skill of the athlete. I have coached beginners all the way up to the High School Level. Training someone who is new to the sport. I would have catching, passing, cradling, and groundball drills for a majority of the lesson. Three major mechanics of the game! A higher-level/older offensive athlete would be doing shooting drills for accuracy or dodging drills that can help shake a defender during a game.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Although I'm only 25 years old, I have been around the game my whole life. Playing for a majority and now I have gotten into the coaching scene. I have coached boys ages 6-15 at the travel level. I have also coached girls' lacrosse ages 8-13 privately and through a travel program. I coached down on Long Island for the Long Island Jesters Boys and Girls Program from 2020-2023.
Best coach I ever had:
The best lacrosse coach I've ever had was my dad. He possessed an incredible knowledge of the game, but also because he knew how to inspire and empower each player on the team. Starting with me at the age of 5, he instilled a love for the sport that shaped my childhood and teenage years. His unique blend of patience, enthusiasm, and tough love helped me develop my skills while fostering a sense of teamwork and camaraderie among my teammates. With each practice and game, he made lacrosse a joyous experience, creating a lasting bond between us and a lifetime of cherished memories.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a lacrosse coach, my approach centers on building a strong foundation of trust and communication between myself, the athletes, and their parents. I prioritize creating a positive and inclusive environment where every player feels valued and empowered to give their best effort. I encourage open dialogue, welcoming feedback from parents and players. Ultimately, the goal is to not only cultivate skilled players but also develop strong character and a lifelong passion for lacrosse.

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!
