Coaching Philosophy:
As Head Coach, my goal is to mold the most competitive team while always ensuring that we "honor the game". That term is, though not exclusive to, most often associated with the sport of lacrosse. Without getting into too much of a history lesson, in the Native American culture lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, honorable men. To that point, I strive to develop the most competitive, disciplined, honorable team that I can. As you will hear me repeat often, we will get back at teams on the scoreboard NOT by trash talking, cheap shotting or fighting.
I am very eager to pass along my experience in the sport of lacrosse. Throughout my time playing, I was fortunate to play with and learn from a large number of very skilled players. The sport of lacrosse has always had a very tight knit community that is built upon the great love of the game that players, coaches, and fans have. Ultimately my greatest wish would be to have the players of this team go on to help the lacrosse community thrive by passing along the knowledge, fellowship, and love of the sport that we, as coaches, impart upon them to other players in the future.
