“I love coaching because I love all of the connections and relationships I have formed. I also love getting to see growth happen right in front of my eyes! Every time I see a spark of confidence or improvement happen it is one of the best feelings!” 

~ Dempsey Arsenault, Women's Lacrosse Team USA, AU Pro, Triad Coach

"I love coaching because it is more than just being the strongest, fastest and most skilled athlete, but more importantly teaching youth athletes the importance of mental toughness, preparation, and resiliency for when things don't go according to plan.  It is a mindset I preach and advocate to all the athletes that I coach through my coaching philosophies and methodologies.  I believe the only way for an athlete to reach their full potential is to have both strong work ethic and a confident / resilient mindset, that will serve them beyond the field of sports and through their life journey."

I coach for those smaller moments because they're the ones that end up mattering most in the long haul."

"I love coaching because this game has given me so much through the ups and downs. There is so much pressure around sports to perform, and I love coaching because it allows me to teach and guide others to be productive in the pressure. It is so rewarding to connect with the girls on the mental and physical aspect of lacrosse and how they can become better lacrosse players, friends, sisters, daughters, etc."

"I love coaching for Triad, specifically, because it is an opportunity for those athletes that come to training to get away from their club and high school teams to work on individual improvement with others that are passionate about improving their skills!  The energy is amazing and everyone (coaches and players) focus on uplifting each other while enjoying the sport they love."

"I love coaching because I love helping young female athletes find the "why" of why they play sports - lacrosse specifically.  Sports allow girls to find a sense of community, camaraderie, and belonging.  In helping girls remember that they are playing lacrosse because they love being competitive, being with friends, being active, and growing as individuals, it takes the pressure of of having to be perfect or perform to a certain standard.  It is so important to me to remind girls of their love for the game so that they may enjoy it, rather than burn out, or be stressed out by it.  I find that, in coaching, not only am I spreading my knowledge and experience of the sport and being a woman in athletics, but I learn so much from these girls as well."

"I love coaching because playing sports is where young kids can develop so much potential with their mind (strategy, team building, social skills, empathy) and their body (physical fitness, agility, muscle memory).  To be a part of the that growth with young athletes fills my cup.  Plus, I love to just have fun!"

History of National Coaches Day

In 1972, ​President Richard Nixon signs a proclamation declaring October 6 as National Coaches Day. It states: "Coaches are highly qualified teachers—in highly specialized fields. But more than that, they are friends and counselors who help instill in their players important attitudes that will serve them all their lives."
