It's simple, we love working with coaches of all kinds. One of those recent coaching sessions gave us a chance to get a glimpse into coaching lacrosse up in Rhode Island. In January, Todd Team Coaching had the pleasure of working with first year coach Chris Gabrieli’s lacrosse team at Providence College. Given that the [...]
This Spring, it has been very rewarding to see the work that Todd Team Coaching has done showing up in concentration. I'm referring to the work we've done with intercollegiate golf on the west coast.
