Eastern University Lacrosse

Hello from sunny San Diego California. I know it has been a long time since I last posted. Fall Ball has kept me real busy and now that it has ended I wanted to check in. We finished Fall Ball on Sunday at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. It was really nice heading back to Dickinson and getting to see some great people. I was pleased with our team’s effort and excited to see some great individual efforts. To get where we want to go, we must get better as a team. My message to the team after the game was clear HARD WORK! Our guys will be working hard this off season and I am excited about the spring season.

Immediately following the game, I was on a flight to San Diego for some recruiting. I have been actively recruiting the west coast since I arrived in St. David’s and this trip was much needed. I have been enjoying the sunshine and have met with some great families. Most importantly I have been able to get away and really break down our team’s effort this fall. Free from distractions and chores around the house, I have been able to really break down our four weeks together as a team.

With that being said, I can’t wait to get back home and to get to work with some of the new things we are looking to implement for the spring season. This west coast “retreat” as been such a useful trip and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to get away and be alone with nothing but time to work on further developing our program. I have watched our film at least 5 times and have taken countless pages of notes. I wish the spring season started tomorrow.

I have also spent a lot of time out here thanking God for his wonderful creation. Southern California provides a wonderful glimpse of how BIG our creator is! This place is unreal! I am really anxious to get home and to spend some time with my bride and get back to “my boys” (the team)

Lastly, Happy 99^th birthday to Coach John Wooden. Coach Wooden is the best Coach this world has ever known and his passion for his team, his family, and his faith is an example for all of us.

I will leave you on a quote from Coach Wooden I read on the plane out here.  “Loyalty is the force that FORGES individuals into a team.”

Be loyal to one another!
