Rachel, we are so grateful to have had you as a mentor, coach, advisor and I will add “shrink” to the list during our lacrosse journey. The gifts that you have passed on to my daughter have helped make her a stronger player in goal and have prepared her well in facing challenging situations on the field, during tryouts and infant of college coaches. The drills and training are truly like no other and the best she has ever experienced. How fortunate we are to have the opportunity to work with you. They say that a good coach is not only one that can set the foundation for success. But one that can help blow the wind into your child’s sails…. You have done not only that. But more.
Thank you for putting her on such a great path forward.
We are all so excited for what lays ahead!

There are no words to describe the love that I have for what I do and who I get to work with, coach and inspire. It’s nothing new that this summer and the past few months did not go as planned for me. But life is full of surprises, and one must learn to roll with punches and deal with the cards you’ve been dealt.
It’s been nothing short of an honor to work alongside some truly amazing people, and to be able to coach and inspire young athletes, who never cease to amaze me.
I am honored to have been able to inspire the next generation of coaches and players. All I could think about while I was in the hospital is when I could get back on the field with my people, and not feel like life and lacrosse had moved on without me.
This weekend, coaching the 2025s for the last time and the 2026s for the second to last year of their club lacrosse life, I felt nothing but love and genuine care. All I can hope for is that the people I have coached and those that I work with, have learned just as much from me as I have from them.
Grateful for the opportunity to grow the game, but more importantly, help grow young people into believing that they can be anything that they dream of becoming, whether lacrosse or sport is involved or not.
To me, that is more important than wins or losses. And it always will be. The wins for life and in life, will always trump those in sport.
I’m grateful for my recent experiences that have continued to put life in perspective. Grateful for the little moments. Grateful for the love. Grateful to do what I love and to inspire others. Grateful to make even a small and positive impact to those around me. Grateful for the happy tears shed today with the squad, but especially with Molly G, whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with since she was in 3rd grade. It’s been one hell of a ride. ❤️

On June 6, 2024, my body decided to take a turn for the worst and I was admitted into White Plains hospital. For two weeks prior, I thought I had a stomach bug, and on again and off again I would continuously get sick. Little did I realize, that I was about to be in a fight for my life. As I came to find out during my 12 day hospital stay, I had sepsis, pneumonia, and a kidney infection. I lost count of the days admitted and instead measured my time by IVs, tests run, medicine administered, blood drawn and visiting hours.
I am so grateful for the staff, techs, nurses, and doctors that took care of me during my stay. And for my friends, family and loved ones that came daily or checked in on me or sent me flowers or goodies. You made the time more bearable to say the least.
Still recovering and getting better, but grateful to be home with family and the puppies, each day getting closer to playing, coaching and getting back to being 100% and doing what I love.
Much Love,
Rachel

Beyond grateful for this past spring season with the fifth grade A-Team from LMYL. To be able to watch them grow, not just as athletes, but as people, has been one of the most amazing experiences that I’ve had as a coach. I am so blessed to be around such amazing humans, and to have even a little bit of an impact on their life. It’s been a great ride, and I’m so excited for what the future brings for this group of Rockstars. We are the Tigers!
