Great instruction. drills that take your game to the next level.

Great, insightful coach

Andrew is extremely knowledgable and has a knack for communicating lax fundamentals, mechanics, tips and tricks to students of various ages. He is also creative in how he uses the scheduled time and his other students to maximize the learning for each student.

Coach Andrew was terrific. From the second he arrived for my daughters first lesson he was energetic, motivating and very helpful in his instruction. He was also really proactive about spelling out what she needs to do to improve.

Excellent sessions! My son enjoys the coaches teaching style. My son is 11. His teaching style helps my son to understand the basics and reason for techniques reviewed thus far. After two sessions I’ve already noticed increased confidence and needed aggression on court. Others have commented as well.

Fantastic first session!

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew is an excellent coach! His one on one session was very informative as he shared techniques that will help our grandson achieve success. We look forward to setting up future sessions with coach Andrew.

Andrew is professional and great with kids. He is extremely knowledgeable on football and really helped to build my sons confidence as a first year player. He analyzed what my son needed and made adjustments to meet him where he was. Once, he used boxing to help him learn the proper positioning in a football move. Overall 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend him!

Coach Joyce was very good! Worked on some basics and improved my son's throwing and shooting, which gave him more confidence playing the game. I highly recommend sessions with Coach Joyce.

Great teacher - patient, knowledgeable and motivating

Very patient and skillful.

Coach Andrew is a great coach. They way he teaches keeps my son’s attention at all times. My son is already using the tips he has learned and is doing his practice on his own. I also like how Coach Andrew talks to me during the drills explaining what and why they are doing what they are doing. His experience and love of the game really comes through.

picked the right and only one and worth the money

thanks coach

First training session went well with Coach Andrew and my son. He taught him a lot and gave him homework to keep practicing the drills on his own so he can improve between lessons. He seems very knowledgeable and is very responsive to our questions. Hoping to see improvements in my sons basketball skills as time goes by from these lessons as it’s still early on in the process. Would highly recommend.

He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He makes my son more interested in the sport.

After just one meeting with Coach Andrew, my son’s attitude went from tentative and insecure to exited and confident. He went out the next day and had perhaps his best performance ever! We are booking more sessions right away!

Coach Andrew really is an exceptional coach. I loved how he broke down everything and puts a focus on the how and why of things. I especially loved how he teaches fundamentals, as a ground work/base for everything else. And he is a All around great person to talk to.

"Inch by inch is a sinch yard by yard is to hard"

Coach Joyce has been very thorough with my son, teaching him foundations of playing his position

(no details provided)

Awesome!! Total game changer !!!

Max learned a lot In his first lesson and can’t wait for the next one!

We signed up for a virtual session with Coach Andrew. I was not sure how it would work out virtually but Coach Andrew was very good at giving instructions, ran drills, and correct bad forms. Nothing beats in person but Coach Andrew made it work!

(no details provided)

Andrew was able to identify my daughter needs during her first session and was very direct as what she needs to do to get her game to the next level. My daughter was extremely satisfied with her first session and is looking forward to her next session.

Amazing first lesson with coach Andrew. Great energy and positive vibe throughout. Improvement in throwing and catching was visible on day one thanks to his creative teaching. My son was smiling all day talking about it. Excited to see what Coach Andrew is able to unlock going forward.

Coach Andrew did a really nice job working with my son. This is his first year trying out for quarterback and coach not only worked on the fundamentals, but guided him on being in the right mindset as well as developing his leadership skills.

Coach really helped my son tap into his potential.

Me and my son Derrick love coach Andrew I see my son going far with Andrew help he really is good

Coach Andrew has an incredible ability to connect with our son, even remotely on zoom. Via zoom, he teaches our son new plays and technique. He is very intuitive and has personal experience that is relatable to our son. His focus on both the physical but equally important mental aspect of the game has been helpful to not only my son but my husband and I. He is the perfect next level personal coach my son needs at this time. We intend to continue training with this excellent coach.

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew has been working on football skills with my 14-yo. A lot of kicking but also other positions. He has conditioned him better than anyone I’ve seen. My son is spent after an hour. High energy and good with teens!

Coach Andrew is a wonderful person with vast knowledge and great insight in physical, mental and emotional training of young athletes. He is extremely intuitive, with a vast personal experience, knowing exactly where my son needs to keep focusing his attention to improve his abilities. He is the perfect next level personal coach my son needed at this time. We intend to continue training with this excellent coach.

My daughter has only met with Coach Andrew twice and we are already seeing immediate results. Would 100% recommend.

Last week we had our first session with Coach Andrew for my son .My wife ,daughter and myself all stood for the lesson and all of us walked away being blown away by the positive and simplistic approach on the court.My son walked away more confident my wife,daughter and myself took Andrew’s method and implemented them into our daily routine .After coaching my three older daughters and being around different coaches over the years Andrew is one of the most patient and positive coaches I have seen and we are all thrilled to go to the next lesson!!

Coach Andrew seems very enthusiastic and inspirational

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew tailors his training specifically for my daughter. He gets her to comprehend what she needs to do physically and mentally during each drill. Psychologically, he keeps her in the right frame at all times. She is ecstatic with the training so far.

He has connected with my son and made it so enjoyable all the while getting my son to commit to learning a new sport. Can’t wait to see the ongoing progress!

Coach Andrew was excellent with my daughter. She learned a lot in her very first session, came home and put it right into practice all on her own. Very exciting to see.

This coach teaches fundamentals and life lessons while he coaches you. He focuses on your strengths and I think he is one of the best coaches on this site.

Coach Andrew is a fantastic coach. He helped me develop better handles. I highly recommend him for all basketball players who wants to get better.

Coach Andrew is extremely knowledgeable and skilled at lacrosse. If your kid is coachable and willing to work hard then Andrew is the teacher for them. He is direct and does’t accept less than your best. He will definitely make your player better.

Coach Andrew is fantastic !!! He is exactly who we were looking for. Full of skills and tips and great attitude . I would highly recommend him!

Coach Joyce is a great coach that pulls out your greatest potential. His hands on approach is stellar! I would recommend him to anyone looking to take there game to the next level

After just a few lessons with Coach Andrew, my son has made tremendous progress with his core basketball skills (ball handling and footwork). There's a lot I like about how Coach Andrew approaches each session but I find that his focus on process (not outcomes) and incremental progress (easy +1) really seems to work well for my son.
I had originally signed up for only three sessions as I was unsure how well the private lessons would work out. We just finished our third session and will absolutely continue to work with Coach Andrew for the foreseeable future.

Andrew was great to work with!

We are so impressed with Coach Andrew’s ability to demonstrate the fundamentals of lacrosse in a fun and informative way. My only regret is not doing this sooner with Coach Andrew!!

Coach Andrew had a great first session with my daughter who is a beginner and hoping to play JV at her high school. He had a very positive manner and gave her drills that she could practice on her own. We will definitely book again!

Great coach, spent quality time with my daughter showing her new moves and ways of thinking.

My 8th grade daughter just had her first session with Coach Andrew and we're very pleased. Alex's priority was shooting: In short order, Coach identified Alex's deficiencies, made adjustments and had her shooting better than ever before. Coach provided the right balance between talk and making sure Alex got tons of reps. Great session and expect to do more!

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew was great to work with! He helped my son work on several skills and spoke to him about the importance of daily practice. My son feels he learned a lot from Coach Andrew and now enjoys practicing.

Coach Andrew is an excellent coach who really knows the game. I would recommend him to anyone looking to become a better lax player.

Great coach

Coach Joyce has worked with my son for football several times and always has great feedback to give him. Aside from working with my son on a particular skill, Coach Joyce emphasizes all aspects of the game from the mental side to the importance of positive focus and at-home training exercises. I would highly recommend Coach Joyce, particularly if your child is receptive to working on mastering the game from a wholistic point of view.

Excellent coach on every level. Very happy with his approach and personal attitude. Learned a lot on the very first session. Trying to get him to coach my daughter as well, he works with young men and women. My wallet flies open when I get the chance to have someone with this type of drive to spend time with my kids.

I signed up for 10 sessions. Each time we worked on more things that I was struggling with. Coach Joyce was great for my confidence and taught me new skills to work on. Looking forward to my freshman year in High School. Being I will be away at Boarding School, when I have breaks and vacation I will for sure reach out to work with Coach when I am in the area. Experiences you can’t learn from games. The 1 on 1 and at times 2 on 2 helped my game greatly. Thanks Coach Joyce.

Coach Andrew really knows how to break the game down into simple to understand steps for any level of player. He used great analogies and metaphors that will motivate your athlete and that they can apply to all areas of life. After one lesson, we noticed a remarkable difference in our son's level of play. I highly recommend Coach Joyce for all levels of players who want to take their game to the next level.

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew did a great job helping my son and quickly assessed what he needed help with. My son really enjoyed working with Coach Andrew and he helped him improve his game.

Coach Joyce was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. He gets to the root of the player and works from there. He truly cares for his students and gives great advice. His life lessons are one of a kind. He is direct to the point, which some may feel he's too blunt, but the truth is what our athletes need in order to grow.

First practice with Coach Andrew and first impression was great. He provides a lot of details on how my daughter can improve her offensive skills and he is blunt and gets to the point with no sugarcoating which is a great quality from a coach if you want to improve your game and see results. He is focused on ensuring that both the player and the coach is getting a return on their investment. Overall great job!

Coach Andrew is great! He is very flexible with time and location of sessions. My son enjoys working on the drills, taking notes on things to practice and Coach’s overall positivity about life and basketball.

(no details provided)

Coach Joyce has extensive knowledge about Lacrosse. From the very first session my child was learning new things our Rec. Program was not teaching.

helpful and teaches me a lot of great new things

Coach Joyce is a true professional. He relates to children of all ages and best off leaves them with homework to better themselves and to get more of out future lessons. His patience, lax iq and philosophy has taken both of my sons to a new level, not only on the field but more importantly their confidence and love of the game.

I really like working with Coach Andrew. He has helped me figure out the things I need to work on to be a better lacrosse player. I feel that my game has improved by working with him. He also points out what I do well, which makes me want to work harder at my game everyday. Thanks Coach!

Coach Andrew is top notch. He gets a lot out of the kids in each session. While his lacrosse skills and knowledge, of both the field game and box game, are clearly exemplary, as a former youth coach myself, I was most impressed with his ability to transfer that knowledge to the players in a productive and meaningful way. It takes more than being a great athlete and former player to be a great "coach". Coach Andrew is both.

Our second session was even better than the first session! My son was totally engaged and I see such an improvement! He has a lot more confidence because he is learning from Coach Joyce!

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew is great. After 3 weeks, we can see big improvements in my son's skills. Not only does Coach Andrew focus on game playing and skills, but also attitude and mental prep. My son loves him.

Coach Joyce truly knows the game of lacrosse. He watched our 14yr old, and automatically knew what needed to be fixed with his shot and footwork. If you are looking for a knowledgable coach, he is the one.

Coach Andew was great, he corrected Mat as many times as needed until Mat was able to perform the drill correctly. His instructions are not only good just for basketball, they are life advises. Mat had a great time and got a lot out of his working, he even got drills to practice on his own until the next session. I would highly recommend coach Andrew if improvement is what you are looking for.

Coach Andrew Joyce came highly recommended by multiple parents and players alike. So much so that our family decided to see what the buzz was all about. For once, the hype was legit!!! Personable, insightful, always offering positive reinforcement during corrective instruction - we have found the coach for my son. Worthy of note is the requirement to bring a notebook within which the players jot down the lesson(s) of the day. What a novel approach. Best of all, my 14 year old son was genuinely thrilled with the experience. If you are looking for a Coach that really "gets it", go no further than Coach Andrew Joyce. 5 stars.

Amazing coach, extensive knowledge of the game, very helpful in terms of fixing flaws, can't wait for my next session.

Coach Andrew was extremely professional and very approachable. I appreciate his "whole child" approach to coaching. My son is looking forward to the next session!

Andrew has been very easy to work with. He has bee accommodating with location and my son has taken his teachings to heart. He writes out his practice notes and practices his stick skills more than ever. We hope to continue working with Andrew!

Coach Joyce not only teaches my son the stick skills but gets to know him and understand how he processes and learns things. He is positive, supportive and provides constructive criticism for my son to learn and build on - great coach and teacher.

Coach Andrew was great, he took the time to get to know me as a person and an athlete. He was patient when teaching me new techniques. Coach Andrew is a great coach and I would recommend him to anyone.

Andrew is an amazing coach.... he's been working with my son the last few weeks, and in even one session we saw huge improvement. He's been great with working with our schedule, and my son really respects him. Would highly recommend booking lessons with him.... we'll definitely be booking more!

Coach Andrew did a great job teaching my son new techniques and moves. I would definitely recommend this Coach .

Total awesomeness!!!! Ryan is now officially in love with lacrosse!!!

My son is in 5th grade and coach Joyce breaks everything down so it's simple to process for him. Gives homework and holds him to it ( feels guilty when he doesn't do it now). Accommodating to your schedule. Looking forward to more sessions.

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew is a high energy, friendly, knowledgeable and effective coach. After just one session, my son is already working on new skills that no other coaches have taught him in 7 plus years of playing lacrosse. We will definitely be continuing with him.

My son had his first lesson with Coach Andrew Joyce, it will not be his last!
He came out of the lesson with an extremely positive attitude based on the
skills that he was instructed on. He used this instruction in his LAX game the following
weekend and we saw a very positive improvement.

Coach Andrew told me before my son's first session that he would teach him more in one hour than he has learned playing lacrosse in the four years he has played. He was absolutely right! Coach Andrew started out teaching essential building blocks and techniques that no one had ever shown my son and he saw instant returns in his game a day later with a goal and an assist in his first shift. Coach Andrew challenged my son to learn, take notes, and practice. This discipline is essential for any skill and essential for developing as a person. My son is already looking forward to his next session(s) and we are thrilled to watch him develop as a lacrosse player. Thank you Coach!

My son has played lacrosse since he was in kindergarten and learned new shooting techniques in just his first session with coach Andrew. I didn't want to hire someone to just perform repetitions and toss the ball around with my son. I wanted real instruction that could help bring his game to the next level. I think I found the right person!
My son is looking forward to working with Coach Andrew.

Great sessions with Coach Joyce. We are really learning the "correct" fundamentals and mechanics of Lacrosse. Marked improvement with each session. Coach Joyce is wonderful and patient with his approach and instills just the right amount of mental and physical drive that is "tailor made" to his students needs to ensure success in the sport. Thanks Coach!

Takes each opportunity to teach! Our son really looks up to you Coach Andrew! Thank you!!!

As the first reviewer said, Coach Andrew knows how to connect with kids and we saw results after one session as well. My son has gained confidence in his throwing and says he is looking forward to football season even though it's only February. A big, positive change.

Coach Andrew is a great coach. I would recommend him to anyone. His ability to connect and teach is remarkable. You will see results in just one session.

Jake loved his first basketball lesson with Coach Andrew. Jake couldn't wait to show me what he learned. He told me he received great he instruction, and a plan to work with between lessons.

Coach Andrew is a great coach! He is very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. He is willing to travel to meet with you. He knows how to motivate and is very patient. It is very clear that he is passionate about teaching Lacrosse and cares about his students. Some coaches forget about their students after their first session... Coach Andrew took the initiative to reach out to me to see if we wanted to schedule a few more sessions! ! I highly recommend Coach Andrew for anyone who is looking for a coach in LaCrosse!!

Andrew covered all the right topics. Andrew was kind enough to follow up and make sure he met our expectations

(no details provided)

Good session - hard work, identified some opportunities to improve, looking forward to next one

Great job. Great attitude. Very creative. Very patient.

(no details provided)

Top notch all the way- We're a few lessons in with Coach Andrew and already noticing improvement. He blends mental and physical and boosts confidence as much as skills. Our nine-year-old is on the town travel team and his confidence goes up and down. After the first session, he went 6-6 in his first game :) He loves the game more, going to the sessions, and even the "homework" assignments.

Lots of good follow-up after the session and plenty of "homework" for the athlete to do on his time!

Coach Andrew was a great coach. In the session he worked with my son on technique that immediately made a difference. Then he provided him with daily practice tips and exercises to improve his overall skills. Can't wait for the next session!

Coach Andrew is Great!!!!! He is focused and knows his stuff. After each Session I always walk away feeling like I learned a lot. After just a fews sessions I feel I have gained a lot of skills I will be using. I highly recommend Coach Andrew.

After just two sessions, Coach Andrew's advice on defensive moves that our son had not learned in his 7 years of playing, and the importance of attitude, made a big difference in his next game. So grateful that we found him!

Coach Andrew is amazing and I am so impressed with his knowledge and his teaching skills in just one session my son learned so much which will help him greatly with his game, we will definitely be booking more sessions

Andrew is an excellent coach. He meets athletes where their skill level is, celebrates their strengths, and helps them move forward quickly! My son is much more confident and has made great progress on his skills in just 2 sessions!

(no details provided)

I believe Andrew has the right philosophy going forward. My son mentioned that he LOVED the fact that the coach had a goalie come to the practice. I believe that this idea of pairing with other players to work on the skills is a fantastic Idea. Also, My son took a dodging course from BBL, he learned more in talking with Andrew for 15 min than he learned in the 4 week BBL class.

Session was useful, informative and fun.

My 8th Grade Son spent 90 minutes with Andrew and learned a lot! He did a great job breaking down his game and pointing out areas to improve. A ton of reps in a short time. Can't wait to see him use what he learned in competition!

(no details provided)

Coach Andrew is clearly a life-changing teacher of lacrosse. My 15-year-old son, after just one session, was more clear and excited about what he had learned and what he needed to do to improve, than he has ever been. He said again and again, "Coach Andrew's just a really great teacher. I feel like a better lacrosse player today than I did an hour ago. I wish we had him at home in California with us. My team could learn so much." We are three sessions in and totally agree. We are trying to add more sessions now before we head home, and really appreciate that Val has notes to bring home with him. Thank you so much! We'll be back as much as we can.

Coach Andrew was great. He is patient and helps my son build skills he can not learn in a large group. We will continue to have him to help me son grow as a lax player.

Coach continues to inspire my children .... 3 of them now... My insecure daughter is now sure she will be able to dominate lax too!!

Coach Andrew is a top notch coach! He has a great way of approaching the athlete and makes you really think about the game, yourself as a player and your role in the game/team . His technique is extremely helpful. I am looking forward to my next session. - Simone, lax goalie

Coach Andrew immediately saw where my son could gain improvement in his game. Any player willing to apply the skills Coach Andrew teaches will surely benefit. Coach Andrew knows the game, his knowledge is reliable, and he brings a true love of lacrosse to every session. Coordinating session times and locations can be a little tricky and it is always good to be clear about what to expect session by session if you book more than one. I would gladly work with him in the future.

My daughter and I recently had our first training session with Coach Joyce and left impressed with his lacrosse acumen, attention to details and a natural ability to convey instructions.

At our subsequent lesson Coach accessed specific need improvement areas and presented them in a clear direct fashion. The fruits of his lessons and my daughters hard work payed dividends at her most recent showcase where she effectfully used Coach's dodging techniques drawing praise from several D1 coaches.

I would without reservation recommend Coach Joyce to any player looking to take their game to the next level

he was good

Andrew is a great trainer. He really digs in, finds the area that needs attention, and works that spot to get you to new levels.

After working with coach Andrew for 3 sessions, our son's team won their semi-final game. He played tremendously. 5 or 6 great saves. One goal let in from a shooter right on the crease. He was aggressive getting balls just outside the crease. Intercepted a pass. Made a couple of great outlets. Andrew's work with him really has made a difference. On to the finals!

My boys just had their first session with Coach Andrew!! Great experience!!! They learned alot and are really looking forward to their next session with him! I received a review from Coach Andrew regarding their strengths and weaknesses. I too am looking forward to having them work with him again! I will definitely be referring Coach Andrew to everyone I know!!

Coach Andrew has done a fantastic job helping my son with his goalie skills. He has learned so much and is more confident in his position. Thanks Coach! I highly recommend Coach Andrew.

Coach Andrew had a great session with our son. That one hour of individual attention was more learning then he would get in 10 practices. Went back to the basics of form, and technique something that is not focused on enough in practice with the whole team. Looking forward to watching their next session.

Coach Andrew really knows his stuff. My son was very impressed with his knowledge and the drills that were taught to him

Coach Andrew did a terrific job with my two boys in just one session. I already see a difference in the level of play. Coach Andrew is extremely knowledgable in the sport of lacrosse, would definetly recommend.

Coach Joyce is fantastic, he is clearly an expert at lacrosse and dedicated to my son's improvement. I highly recommend him!

Coach Andrew packed the session with new techniques and new drills that my son hasn't seen before in his Rec, Middle School or travel program. He used great analogies and "teenage language" that made it easy to understand and remember for a teenage boy. He was motivating and gave positive feedback as well as consecutive tips. It's obvious he has a great knowledge of lacrosse and of coaching. Money well spent!

Coach Andrew is fantastic! He was on time, enthusiastic and encouraging. My son can't wait for his next session and hasn't put down the lacrosse stick since his last session.

Coach Andrew is great to deal with. My son after one session has been taught a lot and has more confidence. I would definitely recommend Coach Andrew

My daughter had her first session with Andrew yesterday. She was a little reluctant at first because all the athletes she knows who have worked with Andrew are guys. But Andrew was fantastic. She learned a lot in just the one hour she spent with him and is looking forward to continuing with future sessions. She's also a D1 commit so she she was eager for some top level instruction and Andrew did not disappoint.

My son's session with Coach Andrew was great. He feels more confident and is ready to improve his skills. It's definitely worth our time and energy to work with Coach Andrew.

Coach Andrew is a very strong motivational coach who seems to be able to pull the best out of his students. He is very strong technically and I loved the discussions about the mental aspect of the game and how to play with energy and confidence. Life lessons combined with great lacrosse ! We will be doing more sessions. Well worth the time

Absolutely the best decision we have made to help our son expnad both his mental and physical skills as he embarks upon his D1 lax career. His confidence has soared, his skills have sharped more in the 10+ workouts than over 6 years of high level Club, elite camps and invitational and High school events. Not only does he treat him with respect, Coach Andrew's motivatational skills are terrific life skills as well. We are glad he crossed our path.

Hi, Coach Andrew,'

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but my husband had knee surgery and it's been a hectic week. Frank thoroughly enjoyed his lesson with you and walked away learning a great deal. He has been practicing the skills you taught him and looks forward to meeting with you again. Let me know when you will be available for the next lesson so we can coordinate our schedules. Again thank you for giving Frank a very great experience and knowledgeable lesson.

Coach Andrew was great with my son. He only had one lesson so far but have seen improvement. He wants to work harder and do all the moves the coach taught him. I would highly recommend Coach Andrew!

I already see improvement in my son after only a few lessons. He enjoys practice and is learning new techniques he can immediately use in games. I like the idea of using a notebook so he can practice plays at home. I highly recommend Coach Joyce for anyone looking for serious skill development.

Andrew is great. Has a lot of patience. He's sees the good in the kids he works with. Andrew pushes his students while helping them to stay mentally tough.

Coach Andrew was on time and very professional but most of all the seal of approval came from my daughter saying she had a great lesson and wanted to get another lesson soon! Coach Andrew also gave her some homework skills to work on in practice !

Coach Andrew has only been with my son 3 times - and I can honestly say that I have seen some improvement already. With only 2 years of lacrosse and being 12, (seems these days the lax kids are starting at birth !). I knew that Andrew would have his work cut out for him to get my son caught up with his peers. With his patient coaching style and fundamental approach - Coach Andrew is a teacher of the game. (My son actually has a lacrosse notebook that Coach has him keep) But more importantly my son loves playing and being taught by him !! You can't ask for anything more than that. The kids have to enjoy it and Andrew does that - well worth the fee. We have signed up for at least 10 more lessons - I am excited to see how my son progresses by this summer.

Before I started lessons with Coach Joyce I was unsure of my playing ability. I felt like I couldn’t compete with players who were “better” than me. I didn’t have the mentality to get out the rut I was in. After lessons with Coach Joyce I’ve made great strides in my playing ability and I have a winning mentality. I’ve improved my game from the combination of great coaching and building my skill set against other players. I’ve never had a lesson were I didn’t learn something new and improve my techniques.
That was a great lesson… I’ve been doing the fake step for hours walking around my house… I learned sooooooo much to improve my game. I’m very happy we found a way to add a whole other half to improving my game…. Thank you so much for training me today!!!! I am very excited to expand my game… I feel like I have developed 1/3 of my potential and I can grow the next 2/3 from you… Let’s go to work!....This will work out very well if I continue hard work driving me to success and keep training with you!! This will be great… thanks for all the help and encouragement… love everything about the sport and the mental side of learning… I am also very excited… can’t wait… thanks again! There is a lot involving training but I think there is more importance involving the motivation to learn and grow which I learned from you all last season.
Throughout my years of playing lacrosse I have trained with a countless number of coaches and personal trainers. This being said, Coach Joyce is by far one of the best coaches I've had. Coach Joyce's knowledge of the game combined with his energetic personality allows him to develop lacrosse players with remarkable efficiency. Coach Joyce has a lacrosse background that is second to none, playing at Syracuse with some of the best lacrosse players to ever live. By training with Coach Joyce I have developed not only as a lacrosse player but also as an athlete and I am confident that he can replicate these results with just about any player in the country.
As a parent I have been extremely impressed with the three lessons James has had with you. My goal for James tactically has been for him to improve his dodging and passing skills as an attackman. We had been unable to schedule your "Ultimate Attackman" course, and I wanted training that would be more specific to his skills and needs. Strategically, I expected you to challenge him with more "grown up"/"black belt" expectations; e.g., note-taking, "homework". To me skills like preparation, concentration, and exertion are even more valuable long term than the lacrosse skills. In the three sessions my expectations have been very pleasantly exceeded. From the beginning, you have spoken to him with respect and strong, but clear, demands. James knows that he must be completely engaged mentally and physically from the first minute to the last. I appreciate your attention to detail - James repeats the skills over and over, and you correct even minor deviations until he does it right. Only when he does it right do you move on to another skill. I like that you are teaching him how to think as player as well - he must recognize the situation and adjust rather than simply apply a move regardless of what the defender does. I was skeptical about being outdoors in early January, but we have been lucky with the weather, and the sessions are better for being on a field. I also like how you have made efficient use of available resources; e.g., Mitchell and me. I am grateful for your efforts to teach me so that I can reinforce the lessons as part of James's homework, and I also appreciate how you are able to use me as defender, feeder, or ball boy to maximize the time on task and the repetitions.
I credit Coach Joyce as being one of the most influential coaches in my 18 years of athletics. I also credit him with helping to give me the self-confidence to excel as an athlete and a person and to move from being the last cut on the varsity squad to one of the first to be selected for Division-I collegiate lacrosse. To me a good coach would make for a great mentor. Coach Joyce is the reason I came up with this philosophy.
I don't know if you know this already, but someone by the name of Andrew Joyce has sent in his resume for lacrosse coach at Morristown-Beard. I just wanted to take the time out to email you telling you that he is one of the greatest coaches I have ever met. He joined the coaching staff at my club team, Building Blocks Elite (BBL), and I have had the chance to get to know him pretty well. I first met him at a leadership course that he was teaching for the players on BBL. I thought it was amazing how he intertwined leadership with the mental and physical game of lacrosse. I felt like just that course helped me improve and I didn't even pick up my stick. Since I was so impressed with his methods, I came in contact with him about doing some lessons. I have done one hour lesson so far, and I feel like I have learned as much in the one lesson than I have since I started playing lacrosse. Not only did I learn new physical moves that would work, but I also learned mental strategies that will improve my game. I definitely think he would make a great coach for our team, or any team because he specializes in making teams grow stronger as a whole. College programs from all over ask him to come in and do a class for them. Colleges like, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Canisius, Goucher College, and his alma mater, Syracuse University. Sincerely,
