Teamwork is putting team success ahead of individual goals. It’s trusting and respecting coaches and teammates, and holding themselves accountable. Teamwork consists of teammates willing to support one another through both successes and failures.

We define success for our program by player development, academic achievement, and fostering a strong team culture. We define success for our athletes on the field when they compete, give their best effort, and exhibit respect for our opponent and the umpires. When we respect the game of baseball and play the game the right way – hustling on and off the field. The program's mission extends beyond the playing field, emphasizing the growth of the student-athlete as a whole person including citizenship and service on our campus and in our community.

Fast paced skill driven intense workouts designed to challenge players to find game speed in practice. Practice is permanent, not perfect. The more uncomfortable you are willing to get, the more progress you will make.

Spring trip to FL for 7-10 days – with 7-8 games. 20-25 games in the fall, full winter training program in state of the art training facility with indoor batting cages, mounds, and a full diamond.

Physicality, mental approach, and game IQ? We envision entry level players to most likely (not definite) be grades 6-9? to help players adjust to playing on 90’ diamond and college/prep level to be grades 10-13.

Teamwork is when everyone works together for as greater common goal. When everyone subscribes to the same values on and of the fencing. Everyone’s success and contribution are celebrated. Teamwork requires cooperation, communication and trust.

Success for student-athletes is multi-facetted. It is our obligation to positively impact the lives of our students to make the better athletes, better students and better members of society. We need to prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead of them - so success comes in many forms.

Our fencing training will be state of the art. It will include competitive fencing, individual lessons, footwork, strength & conditioning, situational bouting, skill development, technical and tactical training and more.

We will compete in local, regional, national (and international) competitions. And we will compete in different age groups. I foresee us competing between 10 and 20 competitions per season.

Fencers will be exposed to competitions at different levels and age categories.

Teamwork is imperative for success in today’s world. Collaboration and effective communication within a team setting is essential to achieve goals. Teamwork fosters skills of interdependence and the ability for a person to manage their own work while contributing to the bigger goal. Each person in the team should have a clear understanding of their role within their team, so there is no confusion as to the responsibilities. This cooperation allows teams to function cooperatively in a timely manner.

Success can be measured in different ways. For some it is a reaching a personal milestone like landing a new jump; while for others it can be earning a degree or meeting long term goals within their field.

At MAI, a successful figure skating athlete will have the confidence to perform at their best, overcome setbacks, and together we will help them set short term as well as long term goals to measure their growth regularly for themselves.

Training sessions will include overall strength and conditioning skills in a group setting, performance training, specialty classes that enhance on ice performance as well as individual learning time focused on individual needs- such as choreography, specific jump technique training, harness lessons, etc..

Competition schedules will vary depending on each student’s individual needs and level taking into account their competitive tracks (e.g. excel track vs championship track). We will encourage our skaters to compete in the various open and qualifying competitions that U.S. Figure Skating offers.

MAI Skaters will continue to represent their home clubs or country in competition unless competing specifically in U.S. Figure Skating’s high school program representing MAI.

If needed, we will provide U.S. Figure Skating membership for any skater as an individual member or Learn to Skate USA.

The athlete pathway for figure skaters is individual. Each skater’s progress is solely dependent on skill progression, competition and test levels. The Figure Skating program at MAI will offer both on and off ice training to develop the whole athlete.

We focus on helping each skater build lifelong skills in addition to the technical skills required for competitive skating that is needed to be successful both on and off the ice. Our students will develop confidence in their ability to properly prepare to ensure consistency in their ability to perform at their best which will be helpful as they prepare for the university and college pathway.

To me, teamwork is about connection, respect, and shared purpose. In skating—even though it’s often seen as an individual sport—success comes from the collective effort of the coaching team, training partners, and families all working toward a common goal. Teamwork means supporting each other through challenges and celebrating each other’s progress. It builds trust, humility, and belonging—qualities that help athletes thrive not only in sport but in life.

Success is not defined only by medals or rankings, but by growth, perseverance, and personal excellence. I want my athletes to feel proud of their discipline, work ethic, and ability to overcome challenges. Off the ice, success means developing confidence, kindness, and integrity—qualities that will serve them far beyond their athletic careers. My greatest reward as a coach is seeing athletes carry these values into adulthood and into everything they do.

Students can expect an environment that is supportive, structured, and inspiring. Every session is built around discipline, technical mastery, and individualized attention, balanced with positivity and encouragement. I believe in challenging athletes to step outside their comfort zone while helping them feel valued, seen, and capable. My goal is that every skater leaves practice feeling both accomplished and motivated to keep growing.

Competition in my program is viewed as both a goal and a learning opportunity. Athletes participate in local, regional, and national-level events based on their readiness and personal development plan. We prepare with intention—focusing not only on performance results but on the process, mindset, and sportsmanship that competition teaches. Every event becomes a chance to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

The athlete pathway in figure skating begins with building a strong foundation in basic skills, edge quality, and coordination, before progressing into more advanced jumps, spins, and artistry. As skaters advance through U.S. Figure Skating’s test structure, they move toward competition readiness and high-performance development. My role is to guide each athlete at their own pace—whether their goal is to pass Gold Tests, compete nationally, or continue their athletic journey into collegiate or professional skating. Every step is about steady progress, balance, and self-belief.

Being 100% committed to an objective for the benefit of the team. Be someone teammates want to be like. Embracing a role that helps the team even if not’s the one you envisioned for yourself and understanding that doing a great job with that role can and often times does lead you back to the role you wanted all along.

Every players starting point is different yet most young athletes all have the same couple goals. Play in the NHL, play Division I. Success for me is getting them to go from those 30,000 feet goals to in the moment tangible goals that put them on a path to getting the most out of their natural born abilities. Develop habits. Be consistent and committed to working at the little things everyday.

Accountability and information. Learn the when and why of the skills you’re working on developing. Being a smart hockey player, being a hockey player that has a consistent identity and understands how to mentally process information at a high level. These are translatable skills that they will absolutely have to have as they move up levels and they need to be instilled, coached and repeatedly worked on at younger ages.

I believe in constantly finding challenging and adverse situations because that’s where growth and development opportunities live. So, we intend to play a challenging schedule that both showcase our athletes to the folks who will be evaluating them at higher levels and pushes them outside their comfort zones so they continue to focus on getting a little bit better and improving their details.

In our current landscape as you approach your 15u year you need to be working on your cognitive skills, honing in details such as proper compete level, learning what it means to be selfless and buy into the process of committing to your personal development. When 15u year rolls around the eyes on you increase and we want our players ready to be at their best. Development never stops. Teaching, coaching, encouraging never stops. Those skills are worked on every day. Make sure in all of this we remember to stop and enjoy it. You only go on this journey once. Committing to something, setting a goal and chasing it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun along the way.

Teamwork means putting the collective goals ahead of individual accomplishments. It’s about trust, accountability, and communication — knowing that every player, coach, and staff member contributes to the group’s success. True teamwork creates an environment where athletes push each other to improve, celebrate shared achievements, and learn how to handle challenges together both on and off the ice.

Success isn’t measured solely by wins or statistics. For me, it’s about athletes reaching their potential, developing confidence, and learning the discipline and habits that lead to long-term growth. Off the ice, success is reflected in how they carry themselves — their integrity, work ethic, and ability to lead and support others.

Athletes can expect high-energy, detail-oriented sessions that emphasize skill development, pace, and decision-making. Every drill has purpose — designed to challenge players both technically and mentally. My goal is to create a competitive, fun environment where players are pushed outside their comfort zones and leave the rink each day a little better than when they arrived.

Our program competes at the highest level available for each age group. Players are exposed to elite competition through a mix of league play, national showcases, and major tournaments across North America. We believe that testing yourself against top opponents is the best way to measure growth and prepare for the next level.

Athletes typically begin at the local or regional level before advancing to elite development programs like the Junior Bruins. From there, players have opportunities to move on to prep schools, junior programs, and eventually college hockey. Our mission is to provide a clear and supportive pathway — helping every athlete find the right environment to reach their goals on and off the ice.

Trust. Building an environment where players feel comfortable to be themselves, confident to challenge one another, but ultimately sacrifice whatever is needed for the team to be successful.

Happiness and purpose beyond the success on the field. Chasing their dreams, and guiding them to the best of my ability. Tough conversations where we will grow and get better! Ultimately, if players are willing to be all in and give 100% at both we will find success!

What players put in is what they will get out. High intensity, lots of competition, hopefully lots of joy, and will challenge players to get out of their comfort zones so we can be the best version of ourselves on and off the field. We will work hard to identify strengths and weaknesses to improve all over the field. Failure is forward.

Spring term will be our traditional playing season consisting of mid-week games starting in March. Additionally, there will be a pre-season trip and a mid season trip for competition and training. Fall term will consist of a non-traditional playing season focused on training, development on and off the field team building and preparation for the spring season. Training sessions will vary from 60-120 minutes pending time of year and what the team needs. We will look to build a highly competitive spring season of about 14 games, with 1-2 trips in the February-May time frame.

Our girls lacrosse pathway is built on developing the whole student-athlete—skill, mindset, character, and academic readiness. Players begin by mastering fundamental stickwork and decision-making, then progress into competitive regional and national play where exposure and college recruitment naturally become part of their journey. Through strong mentorship, academic support, and a consistent, positive performance environment, our athletes are fully prepared to succeed at top college programs and to thrive as confident young women beyond the sport.

Teamwork is the foundation of every successful program. To me, it means players learning to trust, respect, and elevate one another understanding that collective success always outweighs individual accolades. A great team is built on shared accountability, communication, and the willingness to work for something bigger than oneself.

Success isn’t defined solely by wins or championships, but by growth, discipline, and character. On the field, it’s about competing with purpose and improving every day. Off the field, it’s developing habits, leadership, and maturity that prepare them for college, career, and life beyond the game.

Players can expect a professional, high-energy environment that challenges them technically, tactically, and mentally. Every session has a clear focus, game-realistic tempo, and an emphasis on decision-making. I believe in creating sessions that are competitive yet supportive, where players are encouraged to think, take risks, and play with confidence.

Competition is structured to mirror the college and professional environments our players aspire to. We compete in high level prep school league and select showcases locally and nationally , complemented by matches against strong regional and national opponents. The goal is consistent, meaningful competition that drives development and exposes players to the standards expected at the next level.

Our pathway is built on development, exposure, and progression. Players begin by mastering technical and tactical fundamentals, then transition into competitive regional and national play where college recruitment becomes a focus. Through mentorship, academic guidance, and consistent performance environments, our athletes are fully prepared to succeed at top college programs and beyond.

Middle School (Grades 6–8)

A dedicated staff coach will lead our Middle School program, working closely with me to design and implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Together, we’ll focus on building a strong technical foundation, fostering creativity, and instilling a love for the game. Training emphasizes enjoyment, teamwork, and confidence while introducing players to the habits and mindset needed for long-term growth within the Masters Academy pathway.

Upper School (Grades 9–12)

As athletes progress into high school, training becomes more tactical, position-specific, and physically demanding. We emphasize understanding the game at a deeper level—developing leaders who can think and adapt under pressure. While competition and performance become central, we also reinforce time management, accountability, and communication to ensure academic success and personal growth remain priorities alongside athletic excellence.

College Prep / Elite Athletes

For advanced players, our focus shifts to exposure, performance consistency, and professional preparation. We provide opportunities through elite showcases, college ID events, and national-level tournaments to connect players with college coaches and programs that fit their goals. Athletes receive individualized guidance through every step of the college recruitment and scholarship process, supported by mentorship, video analysis, and direct communication with college networks built over decades of experience.

Teamwork is about creating a culture of trust, respect, and shared responsibility. Every player contributes to the team’s identity, and success is built on unity, communication, and collective commitment to improvement.

Success is not just about trophies — it’s about growth, resilience, and character. My goal is to help athletes reach their potential while learning life skills such as discipline, accountability, and leadership that extend beyond soccer.

Players can expect dynamic, high-energy sessions that challenge them to think critically and compete with purpose. Every training session is designed to foster technical mastery, tactical awareness, and mental toughness in a positive, player-driven environment.

Masters Academy teams compete week in and week out in training, play top regional opposition, and compete in national showcases and tournaments. The emphasis is on purposeful competition — using every training session and match as a learning opportunity to prepare players for collegiate and national-level play.

The pathway begins with developing foundational technical and cognitive skills, progressing through advanced competitive environments that emphasize tactical growth and leadership. Our program connects players with college and national team opportunities, supported by mentorship and recruiting guidance.
