More About Coach Lawrence

• Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) applying scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance
• Conducting 1 on 1 training sessions in specific sport lessons including football, basketball, baseball, strength and conditioning and speed and agility
• Cultivating rewarding relationships with thousands of sessions completed
• Praised in written testimonies from clients including, “Larry has been training my son for several months and the change in my son is incredible. In such a short time my son has re-built his confidence within himself… My son has also increased his speed on the football field, catches better than ever before, and can run and remember plays. I recommend Larry to anyone looking to get their child to that next level in their sports.”

Since 2017, I've coached thousands of athletes ranging from 5 years old to collegiate level.

Whether it's an athlete looking for a recreational outlet or a more competitive athlete getting prepared for higher levels (high school or college), I structure my workout programs to be challenging and engaging. I've gained valuable experience to know when an athlete needs to be pushed, when they need additional support, or when they just need rest and a reminder to have fun out there.

I worked in Denver, Colorado from 2018 - 2021 training athletes of all abilities and managed a sports facility called RedLine Athletics. Since moving to Georgia in 2021, I've continued to work with athletes on a one on one and small group basis to improve their athletic development at DASH Performance in Lawrenceville and many neighboring towns in Gwinnett county.

In 2018 I became a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In addition to my bachelor's degree from Yale University, this certification demonstrates my educational knowledge in strength and conditioning, and caters towards athletes and their unique sports specific athletic development needs. Whether it's greater hand eye coordination, running mechanics, footwork, speed and agility, or how to properly lift weights and general nutritional guidance, I have a wealth of knowledge to help athletes reach their potential.

I’ve met plenty of coaches but not one like Lawrence. Although my son has not been training with him long, I already see improvement in not only his skills but his confidence. He is a great coach!

Coach Larry does a great job with my son! My son has gained so much confidence after just one session.

Had our first session with Coach Abare, and it went great! My son is excited to come to our next session, it seems like it will really help him improve!!

Coach Lawrence was great with my son who is 14 years old. Coach is very knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and knows when to push. My son was always looking forward to the coaching sessions. I highly recomend Coach Lawrence.

We had our first session with Coach Lawrence. He was amazing with our son. We can't wait to see how much our son grows under his instruction!

Provided my son great techniques for offense and defense. Helps him to get faster

Coach Lawrence is an amazing coach! My son has improved his game from his one on one sessions. From the start Coach Lawrence has shown a high level of professionalism from being on time and well prepared. He took the time to assess my son’s level of skills and identified areas of improvement. The drills used were tailored to strengthen his weaknesses like shooting and dribbling. I appreciate his positive and encouraging yet firm approach to training. Coach Lawrence’s deep knowledge of basketball is evident during every session. He not only has a passion for the sport but for teaching others as well. He’ll send me YouTube clips to share with my son to further help him understand a specific move or strategy. Coach Lawrence is an exceptional trainer. I highly recommend him for any basketball training!

Coach is great with my son. He is excited to go train each week and is improving with simple yet effective instruction by Coach.

Coach Lawrence has been a great 1/1 basketball skills coach for my son. He is very professional and organized. Love his positive vibe!

I would recommend Coach Lawrence to anyone looking for a basketball skills coaching for their child.

Love his coaching

Understand Thank you for letting me know the coach's name and who he coaches. I can revise the review to include this information:

I recently had the pleasure of working with Coach Larry, who is a one on one football coach that my son Anthony has been training with. From the very first session, I could tell that Coach Larry was knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping my son improve his skills on the field.

Coach Larry has been exceptional in tailoring his instruction to Anthony's individual needs. He took the time to assess Anthony's strengths and weaknesses and developed a personalized training plan that was designed to help him improve in areas where he needed it the most. Throughout their sessions, Coach Larry has been patient, encouraging, and always willing to answer any questions Anthony had.

Coach Larry provides detailed feedback on Anthony's technique and offers practical advice on how to make improvements. His coaching style is positive and supportive, which has helped Anthony stay motivated and focused during each session.

Overall, I would highly recommend Coach Larry to anyone looking for a one on one football coach for their child. His expertise, personalized approach, and positive attitude make him an excellent choice for anyone looking to take their child's game to the next level.

Coach Lawrence is outstanding! His sessions are well planned, organized and most of all challenging. He provides detailed, positive instruction. Each session covers multiple training aspects. My son loves working with him. As a parent, I love seeing my son’s confidence building.

Excellent!

Coach Lawrence is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping my son reach his goals. The one-on-one sessions was customized to my son's specific needs and constantly challenged him to push his limits and improve his skills. The results have been remarkable and I've seen a significant improvement in my son's game. I highly recommend Coach Lawrence to anyone looking to take their basketball skills to the next level.

Coach Abare is extremely knowledgeable and personable and has helped our son gain confidence and skill in a short time. We are excited for more sessions and to see continued growth.

Coach Abare truly knows the game of basketball. He is a great teacher of the fundamentals. I have a 9 year old son… and he loves his sessions with Coach. We are a basketball family and this is the guy you want if you are in our area. He knows the sport and teaches in a positive but effective way.

Coach Lawrence is truly amazing. His love of football shows through. And he has a gift in his ability to teach children what he knows. He is able to explain it in a way children will understand and put to immediate use. In a short time my sons skills have jumped tremendously. He has given my son confidence in his abilities to play football. It has been an enormous change and words can not express the level of my gratitude. Thanks Coach. Jonah & Vines Turner
