We try to tune into Coach K’s games at her new school Capital, mostly because we are anxious to see how her new players especially who have never played are growing under her and we are quite frankly lacrosse nuts. We just so happened to turn in on Saturday. A parent who became a friend, and daughter who would “run through a brick wall” for Kara. The beauty of what we have seen from the stands over multiple seasons was the exact opposite of what some anonymous comment suggest after a great win from her girls. Pathetic person trying to dim her light. I watched many of our games both in person and through livestreams even when she took new positions, and Coach Concheck consistently showed deep care for her players. She celebrated them, hugged them after big moments (we saw this yesterday on stream!) and tough losses, and constantly encouraged them from the sideline. I have seen her carry players off the field who were hurt and stand with them for comfort. Yes, she is intense, but it’s the kind of intensity that great coaches bring because they believe in their athletes and expect them to reach their potential. During games, she was always engaged, calling plays, teaching in real time, and helping players see the field better. Her voice was one of instruction, accountability, and belief. She challenged the team, but always in a way that pushed them to grow stronger, not just as athletes, but as young ladies. “Period.” What stood out most to me as a parent was how she modeled strength and confidence for the players. She handled difficult moments with composure and conviction. She showed these young women that leadership means standing tall, communicating clearly, and supporting your teammates. My daughter left the Bulldog program not only a better lacrosse player, but a more confident and resilient person. Coach Concheck didn’t just coach a sport, she helped shape strong, capable women who learned how to face challenges head-on. As a parent, I will always be grateful for the example she set and the impact she had on so many athletes.
