Coach Meade is a very old-fashioned, in your face kind of coach. Not incredibly encouraging in most situations but I believe his hard nosed style of coaching has molded me into the man I am after four years under him. He likes to yell, a lot, and he wont coddle you in the process but in the end he does care about his players and he wants to see a successful program.

He's a great coach. Not only does he focus on making the team as best as it can be, but he is also very interested in his players' lives outside of athletics

Meade is very negative and his coaching style is old-fashioned. He self-contradicts himself all the time and never gives specific pieces of advice to improve your game. Basically, he is the ultimate stater of the obvious. During games, all he does is yell at you instead of coaching you on how to improve how you are playing. He is also very stingy with gear, as I only have been issued a couple of shirts and a couple pairs of shorts. The rest he collects at the end of the year.

He's one of the greatest coaches in college lacrosse and cares about making good men first and foremost.

Coach Meade is very knowledgable in terms of lacrosse but a hardass at times. At times we as players do not like playing for him but at other times he is very enjoyable to play for and learn from. He puts a huge amount of effort trying to not only make us better lacrosse players but also great men.
