“My passion for coaching comes from the joy I receive in watching the players improve over time. I like to teach the girls that the weakest ‘muscle’ in their body is their brains, helping them build the confidence to step out of their comfort zone and achieve things they didn’t believe they could do. Recreational lacrosse is intended to teach the love of the game and help players of every skill level find a way to contribute.”

  • Navy 3 years and FL Army National Guard 5 years

“I love coaching and just being on the fields. I like to teach the boys to have commitment, heart, and hustle. My focus is: ‘hustle beats talent’ and ‘ground balls win games’. I believe in teaching kids the importance of being committed to a team, being open to learning, and listening. The least experienced players are as important to me as the best players on my team. Each player has their own place on our team.”
