More About Coach Nelson

I have trained youth age 7-10 through a lacrosse program in Somerset, NJ. I currently am training high school student athletes looking to play in the college level in Westfield, NJ. I mainly train kids age 12-18 year old who are looking to be prepared to play on there high school team or trying to take their game to the next level and play in college at any division. I am certified through US Lacrosse and U.S center for SafeSport

Some of my athletic accomplishments I played as a four-year varsity starter during my high school career. Right now, I compete at the college level as I play Division III Lacrosse. I play lacrosse at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut were I was a freshman starting midfielder and now am going into sophomore season. In high school, I was a 2x All-GMC 2nd team Defense player during my Junior and Senior year.

A client can expect from me improvement in body position, footwork, speed/agility and stick technique for defenders since I have played pole down low and up top with a long stick and now since I play midfield I can teach middies to play the ball aggressively without having the fear of getting beat. I mainly focus on stick technique and footwork when it come to showing middies and defensemen key tricks and technique to stay with your opponent and to get takeaways more effectively (when you have the offense-men where you want him) through the lifting philosophy. I will be breaking down these specifics in 3-4 sessions for 75-90 minutes to first get down the specifics and build on speed, timing and persistence. I will be working with them on drills from behind at X from the top of the restraining box to working on how to play a middie coming down the alley and preventing them from getting a clear shot on goal. Clearing the ball whether it is picking up a ground ball or throwing a pass down field is very important at the high school and college level. Finally, footwork/balance is most important thing in the game of lacrosse and we would be working one the ladder drill and straight up reaction time drills to get your feet moving and keep in front of an offense-man running straight at you, and we will end most likely with a shooting drill consisting on give and go's , shooting on the run and three point shooting starting from the crease and increase until you are shooting 15-20 yards out. Ending with stretching.

Coach Nelson is amazing. My daughter really enjoys her sessions and is learning so much. Nelson is high energy and it rubs off on whoever he is coaching. Not only is Nelson a great coach, but he is an all around a nice person with a great personality. Couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommended.

He is excellent with my son. My son loves him and is learning a lot.

Coach Nelson is working with my 11yr old daughter on taking her to the next level.

Most recently we began working on game play tactics and scenarios, and we're seeing her carry that into game day.

He's has a great coaching style and my daughter is really happy with him. Looking to continuing into the summer!
