Favorite Part of Coaching Youth Lacrosse:
For me, lacrosse is so much more than just a game—it’s the perfect vehicle for kids to learn vital life skills. What I love most about coaching is helping players unite to chase a common goal, encouraging them to grow a little bit every day, and teaching them the lifelong value of belonging to something bigger than themselves.
