More About Coach Janelle

I have coached lacrosse on and off at Mater Dei High School since graduating from there in 2013. I am currently coaching there as the Varsity Assistant Girls Lacrosse Coach as well as at Pride Lacrosse Club. At Pride we offer youth and high school level clinics, practices, and Fall Ball games and tournaments. I am also a US Lacrosse coach.

I played lacrosse for four years at Mater Dei High School and for four years at the Division II level at Mercyhurst University. While at Mater Dei I was the first player in Women's Lacrosse history to sign a letter of intent to play at the college level. I was named team MVP 3 times, I was an Academic and Athletic All-American, I was named to the Trinity League first team twice , I served as a captain for two years and I was honored in the Orange County Register. At Mercyhurst University I was recruited as a scholarship athlete. I was nominated my junior year to be Athlete of the year and I was a scholar athlete for four years. I also served as a captain my senior year and was given the players choice award. I also earned 3rd team all PSAC honors and was part of the first team in history to ever win a conference title.

In a session with me I want the client to learn what they think they need help on. I can work with goalies, attackers, midfielders, and defenders alike. I always incorporate some kind of footwork and exercise to get our heart rate up before we start and then I can dive into anything specific that you need help with. I played midfield so I have experience all over the field and shooting on some of the best goalies in the country. As a player it is important to recognize your weaknesses and make an effort to turn them into strengths. Let me help you do that.

Janelle has been such a great coach for my 14 year old daughter who just started playing last year. She has not only helped with shooting, cradling, defending, etc but she is also so good with explaining the rules which helped my daughter gain a much better understanding of the overall game. My daughter was able to make key plays and shoot with more confidence this season because of her private’s with Janelle. Most importantly Janelle is fun and has a great attitude! We will definitely continue to use her on CoachUp.

My daughter is new to HS LAX so were looking to get some basic skills in before the season starts. Janelle was quick to respond and flexible with practice times and locations. Janelle has been great at teaching drills, explaining rules, and outlining practice skills to work on in between lessons. We booked the three lesson package but look forward to adding more coaching when school resumes!

Coach Janelle is the best! I enjoy every session I have with her. My lacrosse skills have improved so much in only a few sessions. She is super sweet and knows her stuff. I would definitely recommend her! :)
