Book Private Lacrosse Lessons with Coach Trevor

I’m Coach Trevor, originally from Yardley, Pennsylvania. Although lacrosse is my passion, I grew up as a multi-sport athlete—playing baseball, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, and tennis. I attended Princeton Day School for middle and high school, where I competed in soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse, and served as captain of both the Varsity Soccer and Varsity Lacrosse programs my senior year.

This past May, I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder after playing four years of Varsity Club Lacrosse. During my time in Boulder, I earned All-Conference and All-American honors three times as a defensive player. As a senior captain, I found tremendous fulfillment in mentoring and leading a committed group of young men, helping foster a culture built on accountability, effort, and team-first values.

I believe the lessons learned in sports help shape each athlete not only as a competitor but as a person. Through mentoring and coaching, I aim to offer a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed both on and off the field.

I have a deep understanding of lacrosse at all levels. I can help players improve their stick skills, positional awareness, footwork, and game IQ. I also focus on developing smart decision-making, effective communication, and the confidence needed to compete at a higher level and understand the game within the game. Whether an athlete is working on fundamentals or refining advanced techniques, I break down skills in a clear, simple way that makes them easy to apply in real game situations. My goal is to help athletes feel prepared and confident every time they step on the field.

Each session is tailored to the individual player and focused on the specific skills they need most. Depending on the athlete’s age, position, and experience level, sessions often include footwork, stick work, passing, shooting, and positional drills designed to build both confidence and consistency. I also emphasize game IQ, helping players understand spacing, timing, and decision-making in real game situations.

I’m a strong believer in using film as a teaching tool, and I may assign athletes clips to watch before a session. Studying professionals and analyzing game footage helps players visualize concepts, recognize patterns, and understand how skills translate to live play. Film gives athletes a clearer perspective on the game and accelerates their development.

Over the past 10 years, I have not only developed as a player, but also as a coach. In high school, I worked with players aged 8–12 at the Trenton Lacrosse Club who were just starting in the sport. I also coached some JV games at Princeton Day School and worked with 3rd graders at Boulder Valley Lacrosse, helping young athletes build fundamental skills and a love for the game.

With this coaching journey, I strive to grow with each session and bring out the best in my athletes.

My college lacrosse coach is the best coach I’ve ever had because he understood me as an individual, not just another player on the roster. He recognized how I played the game and what brought out the best in me. His first season with the program was my freshman year, and over the next two seasons, we built a strong, trusting relationship. He knew my potential and consistently pushed me to reach it. Whenever I drifted away from my strengths, he reminded me to focus on what I do well.

As a senior captain, he held me to a high standard because he knew my teammates looked to me for leadership. He pushed me to stay accountable and to set the tone for the rest of the team. Our relationship is serious when it needs to be, but more often than not, it’s relaxed, positive, and full of moments where we can share a laugh. What makes him a truly great coach is his balance: he is serious and demanding when it matters, yet still able to keep the game fun and connect with his players on a human level. This is the type of coach I aspire to be.

Athletes and parents should know that I love sports because they shaped me into the person I am today. While they are fun to play, they have also taught me valuable lessons about friendship, teamwork, attitude, and work ethic. My goal is to share my perspective and passion for sports to help develop not only great athletes but also great people.
