"Being involved with lacrosse for 6 years, has given me the knowledge of the game and have the ability to help the team by having a keen eye to notice the good and bad things that they do. I can help them change habits and become better all around players. The best way to learn sometimes is by watching what others do, and that is also the best way to teach sometimes. This is my philosophy of coaching and how I can help bring the best out of the girls by teaching them to observe and then apply yourself."
