Expertise

I'm a former All-American goalie and have played every position at all levels. I also coached a high school program in Massachusetts for four years where I helped a number of athletes go on to play college ball in all divisions. Currently I spent much of my time between Massachusetts and Calgary, AB Canada where I have had a chance to work with a number of box lacrosse players who have gone on to play field in the US. Currently I run two blogs. www.lacrossegoaltending.blogspot.com for goalies. As well as www.yourbestlacrosse.blogspot.com for field players. I also run the number one lacrosse newsletter for goalies and the number one conditioning newsletter for field players.

Experience in the area

I was a high school All-American who was recruited by a number of Division 1 schools. I have also been a coach and ran a high school program for four years. I have coached at summer camps and also run my own website for goalies as well as a lacrosse fitness site.

Publications

Too numerous to name here.

Education/Credentials

Currently I am the most requested Expert on AllExperts.com in the category of lacrosse. I was an Olympian in the sport of luge. Also attended Stanford University. Former strength and conditioning coach who has helped thousands of athletes world wide improve their game.

Awards and Honors

I was an All-American and an All-League player as well as the MVP of the East West Prep School All Star Game.

What do you like about this subject?

Lacrosse is probably the best sport to play. I'm a bit biased but it is.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I'm just looking forward to educating people about what a great game lacrosse is. I wished that I had someone like me teaching me about the game when I was young. Now I can do that to help others.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Lacrosse was actually played by native Americans to prepare for war on fields that were over two miles long to prepare them for war.

Dylan go check out Joe Defranco's website. Or google "Westside For Skinny Bastards" You should be able to find it. You need to squat and lift heavy and that program is the best template of a program

Flynn any drug store has what is called "athletic tape". It's the stuff you use to tape ankles, wrists, etc. Buy that. Then you just take the end of the tape and rip it lengthwise. It's really easy
