Testimonials

“Coach Mike is very calm and understanding. He encourages you to get better, if you do something incorrect, he will tell you what you did and what to do to fix it. He uses his personal experiences from his lacrosse career to help you get better. I have come a long way over the past few years because of what he has done to shape me into a better player at the game.”

“Coach McDonnell, I’d like to thank you for the past 18 weeks. You’ve helped me improve not only as a player but as a person and my mindset. Both physically and mentally I’ve gone through so much change and I credit it all to you! Thank you so much and I can’t wait to ball out this summer with the knowledge and skill I learned!”

“As a parent, Mike has great rapport with the athletes. My son always enjoys going to training because he knows how Mike can help improve his game. He videos them and shows them immediately which I feel is a great training tool. My son has grown as an athlete and as a person because of Coach Mike.”
– Parent of HS Player

“Coach McDonnell is far more than a basic lacrosse coach. Focusing on both the physical and mental aspects of the game, Coach McDonnell helped me progress in countless ways that I did not expect coming into lessons. His enthusiasm for the sport, shown with 6 A.M pre dawn reps and coaching to fit around our conflicting schedules, always got me prepared on how to approach the game mentally. His professionalism and pure talent in what he does helped to transform me both on and off the field in a mere couple months.“
