    Mitch is the coach I learned the most from in all my lacrosse experience. He is so eager to help his athletes learn and improve and has a way of connecting with his athletes to better their understanding of the game. Not only are his personality and relationship skills amazing, he knows BALL. Super approachable and a great listener.

    Poor Communication

    She only cares about her own success, picks favorites from day 1 on campus. Knows how to diminish your self worth and doesn’t see the bigger picture. Horrible at establishing team culture and very hypocritical

    Very knowledgeable and reasonable coach. Family oriented and it shows in her coaching. Intense, but it always comes from a good place.

    HonestIntensePoor Communication

    Definitely the worst coach I've ever had. Made a huge show of how much he cares about his players but straight up disrespected anyone who wasn't in the starting 11. He will juice you up and say whatever you want to hear during the recruiting process, but the second you get there he makes it abundantly clear how much he doesn't value you as a player or a person. Will yell and make you cry during practice and games, makes injured players play on active injury, doesn't allow for players to do summer internships and jobs, and is just truly a disgusting person all around. Dave and Jason are great people but Danny is so awful that it outweighs them completely.
