Daniel M.

Have been coaching and training goalies ever since high school. I'm the founder and operator of the New England Lacrosse Collective. My passions is training and developing some of the best men's and women's lacrosse goalies in New England. I have coached goalies at every level all over the nation understand high-level concepts. I have learned many different ways to play the position from some of the games best players and coaches, so my ability to work with a variety of goalies to understand and communicate their strengths and weaknesses in Lehmans terms and give them a multitude of options on how to better their game is something I'm strong at. Always having access to great coaching has made me want to stay involved and pay my knowledge forward to the younger generation.

A standout goalie at UVa from 2013–2016, he made a record-setting collegiate debut with 15 saves against Drexel, started multiple games as a freshman, totaled key performances vs. Syracuse and Cornell, and finished with notable appearances in 2014–2015. In high school he was a top recruit—Inside Lacrosse’s No. 1 incoming goalie and No. 8 recruit—an Under Armour All-American, Nassau County Goalie of the Year, and helped Garden City win the 2012 New York State title while posting a 4.3 GAA and 125 saves.

Fundamentals First: Mastering stance, positioning, hand placement, and footwork builds a reliable foundation.
Repetition with Purpose: Goalie training is highly rep-driven, but every rep must be performed with focus and feedback.
Confidence Through Competence: When goalies understand their technique and roles, confidence grows naturally.
Our coaches facilitate learning by providing cues, feedback, and challenges—not just answers.
Fun and Competitive Spirit: We build sessions that are high-energy, competitive, and confidence-building.
