“ I started lifting with meghan my sophmore year of high school and it was the best decision I made regarding my sport and my health. after about 2 months of lifting, i immediately felt more confident on the field and was in the best shape of my life. along with lifting weights, i was doing conditioning and agility with her. That also tremendously improved how i competed on the field because i was faster and more conditioned than i have ever been. i learned how to push myself and realized how much my body could handle and how strong i was.

with having expierence in the weight room for so long, it made my transition to college sports so much easier. I was confident in the weight room and in my agility knowing that I had been working for the past 3 years to improve. I can’t thAnk Meghan enough for how invested she is in each of her athletes and how much she cares about their wellbeing. Along with caring about us, she is able to push each person every day in order for them to reach the next level. She is hard on us which creates a hardworking enviroment. I couldn’t ask for a better, more balanced strength coach than Meghan.”

Training for Lacrosse

When I started my career 15 years ago, ALL female athletes, whether it was field hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, or soccer, were being grouped into the same programming as their male counterparts. That is the point where I decided I wanted to change the landscape of training female athletes.

For the past 10 years of my 15 years in the business, I have focused on primarily female athletes Even today, there are very few, if any (in the area), trainers that work with female athletes. My programs are sports specific with individual athlete training plans. I strive to improve the individual players’ game while training them in a team environment.

Not only do I work with field hockey players, but I also work with other sports as well. Volleyball, soccer, and lacrosse have been a great importance in my career as well. The training for these sports and the female athletes are just as important and the same detailed programming is needed.

Lacrosse athletes need overall general strength with a focus on muscle building as well as power output. With lacrosse being a contact sport, muscle and strength play a big role in pushing off defenders and defenders pushing off offensive players that are advancing toward the net.

Power output is key as well for strikers to be able to engage the core and have that torso rotation to help produce a powerful shot. It is also key for first step quickness and to be able to power through defenders and for the defenders to stay in front of their opponent.

key components for Lacrosse Players

  • Hip strength

  • Core Strength and Torso Rotation

  • Lower body strengthening

  • Upper Body Strength

  • Shoulder stability and mobility

  • Speed Work

  • Change of direction

Lacrosse Program

For other sports, the programs are 90 minutes in length. I offer 2, 3 or 4 day/ week sessions. Here is more information regarding each:

2-Day a week program

The two day a week program is the most popular program amongst yearlong playing athletes and off-season athletes.

3-Day a week program

For advanced athletes or those not participating in any other sport. Also, for athletes who are preparing to play in college.

4-day a week program

The four- day a week program is reserved for high school and college athletes’ home on break and for the summer periods.
