Zachary F.

I have been a part of coaching lacrosse for over ten years in the greater Houston area! I have been giving personal lessons for over five years with a specialty in offensive mechanics and overall strength and conditioning. I have been a youth head coach with the Katy Cavaliers as well as a high school varsity head coach with the 7 Lakes Lacrosse Club. Since 2016 I have been the varsity head coach at The Emery Weiner School where I also coach middle school football.

In high school I was a 4 year letter-man and was recognized as an all state lacrosse player. I played lacrosse at Sam Houston State where I was a 3x MCLA All American. An ankle injury and surgery complication brought my hopes of a potential professional career to an end.

Clients can expect to be put through a series of different lacrosse specific skills, movements, and drills at different tempos. High tempo and high repetition drills will lead to quicker muscle memory acquisition, improving skill at an accelerated rate. Clients can expect consistent well articulated and thoughtful feedback. We will begin or session with a warm-up of muscles after a summary of any nagging injuries. We will then warm our stick skills up with a variety of different passing drills including 1 on 1 passing, wall ball, bounce back passing, and more. After our passing is warmed up we will quickly go through a shooting exercise to activate our more explosive muscles and soft tissue. Now we will go into our skill specific training; split dodges to shooting on the run, time and room shots, catching the ball and finishing on the crease.... gearing the drills to where the player can make the most improvements in our time allotted. We finish up our session with a more fun and rewarding drill; typically a skill that hasn't been highlighted throughout the session. We use a "burn-out" method here where we continue the drill until exhaustion and then our session is over!
