I have years of experience coaching lacrosse at various levels, including U13 and U15 youth teams and private training for high school athletes. Combining my collegiate playing experience (D3, ODAC) and multi-position expertise (middie, attack, LSM), I create personalized training plans to help players of all skill levels excel on and off the field. I’ve coached for Team Crease, Atlanta Stampede and Walton Youth Lacrosse.

I played lacrosse from middle school through high school at South Forsyth. I then went on to compete at the Division 3 level at Randolph College.

Each session is tailored to the athlete’s needs and goals, but a typical training starts with a dynamic warm-up to improve mobility and prevent injuries. We then focus on skill development—this could include stick work, dodging, shooting, or defensive positioning. Next, we incorporate situational drills to simulate game scenarios and build field awareness. Depending on the player’s position, we may work on specific strategies like clearing, rides, or faceoffs. The session ends with conditioning and a recap of key takeaways to track progress and set goals for the next session. My goal is to create a challenging yet supportive environment to help players grow.

Depending on what the client plays, I would tailor the practice session to that, ie. Defense, goalie, attack or midfielder. Midfield would be a combination mix of defense and attack, with footwork, positioning, shooting, and ground balls. While with goalies; I would primarily be covering passing/catching, stopping shots, coaching up how to lead a defense and be a captain. For footwork, I use a ladder and cones, for shooting it’s a bucket of balls, a goal, and cones. For positioning, I use a whiteboard and have them run it live so they know where to go. As well as after sessions, giving the client homework and videos to watch and learn from.
