Why you became a Coach:
I am a teacher by trade so the skills acquired dovetail nicely with the experience I have in lacrosse.
Key people in my lacrosse life have been coaches; I know the impact good coaches can have on players of all skills, motivation and ambition levels.
Coaching Philosophies:
Catch players doing the ‘right’ thing and acknowledge it rather than wait for mistakes to pounce on.
Have high, but realistic expectations of players and yourself.
Patience & compassion
