Dear Parents,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and give you some insight to my coaching philosophy. My mission is to create a learning environment that puts our players in a position to succeed, on and off the field. I want to emphasize to your son that having fun playing the game of lacrosse is important, but more importantly, being responsible for one’s actions and being accountable to yourself, your teammates, and the coaching staff is essential. I have found that players who develop a confidence in themselves, a love for the game, and a respect for others succeed far beyond the athletic field.
My expectations are simple. For a team to succeed, dedication, commitment, and performance under pressure must become second nature. Athletes must be dedicated to the team. Being at practice on time, ready to work is very important. We need to practice with an intensity that is at game level. Members of the team should expect their teammates to give their total effort, whether it is in a game, at practice, or a team function. Developing that mindset will go far in establishing a strong, successful program here at Ponderosa High School.
I thank you for the opportunity to coach your son and I look forward to the season ahead.
Sincerely,
Lance Meurer
