More About Coach Chris
I have been coaching High School Lacrosse, and giving private instruction in Texas for the past 4 years. I played Midfield at Texas State University from 2003-06, and was Vice President from 04'-06'. My coaching philosophy is that no one is born with any special talent, you are only born with opportunities, and it is how you use those opportunities. Hard work will beat talent every time.
I am a certified Strength Coach and Personal trainer, and believe that the best conditioned bodies perform better. Strength, endurance, flexibility, nutrition, and mental toughness should be the root of any athlete, and neglecting any of these will cause inconsistencies in your game.
I focus specifically on transferring resistance training movements to the movements we make on the field. Practicing explosive movements constantly will improve your ability to replicate those movements during a game.
I work repeatedly on stick skills, and shooting drills for every player. As soon as you can handle the ball confidently, and shoot the ball hard in any direction, you will become an immediate IMPACT player.
The primary session will focus on identifying the atheletes weakness, and developing a game plan to target and fix those areas. Then we will exclusively study the atheletes fundamentals for any inconsistancies, and work on a homework program that will change the problems with repetition and muscle memory.
Shooters will practice shooting and dodgeing exclusively. Performing a great deal of repetitions focused on creating a replicable movement pattern that holds up under pressure.
Poles will practice escaping with low ground balls, walk the dog cradling, foot work, and understanding space infront of the cage. We will then discuss aggressive behavior, and how to channel energy to be more effective in game time situations.
Goalies will practice ground balls, fakes and dodges, and tons of hand-eye games to improve reaction time.

Client Reviews
Bill (CoachUp client)
Chris was great with my son, who is a 9 year old first year player. He took the time to explain each technique and provided constructive on the spot feedback as they worked on each skill. I'd recommend Chris to players of all skill levels.
Newton (CoachUp client)

Kristi (CoachUp client)
My son (10) had no previous experience and had gotten discouraged trying to learn the sport on his own. After one session with Chris my son was so excited and felt very confident that he could learn the game. Chris motivated him to practice everyday, being so excited about the next training session. Chris is thorough, provides "home work" for at home practice and encouraged him the entire time they were together. We've had two trainings so far and will definitely book more with Chris!
Lisa (CoachUp client)
Chris was great! He worked with my daughter to get her ready for an elite camp in California. By the time he finished just 3 sessions - her skills and confidence had improved dramatically. Will definitely work with him again.
Karen (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris was great! He was very knowledgeable and positive. He was able to introduce the sport and develop skills and confidence quickly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for Lacrosse coaching.
Jennilee (CoachUp client)
Chris was great. Only had one session with him so far, but the boys loved it and said they got a lot out of it. Chris is very friendly and easy to work with.
