I would argue, at the risk of sounding arrogant, that I have some of the most experience in lacrosse that you will find in LA. I grew up in New York and started playing lacrosse when it was introduced so probably around 5th grade. I then went on to play in high school and college and then professionally for the Israel National Lacrosse team. I was inducted into Colgate University's Hall of Honor in 2015 which also happened to be the year that I played in my first International Competition in Prague. I later went on to play in 2 World Cups- one in England and this past one in America in 2021. I captained the team both years. Since moving to LA 8 years ago, I coached the JV team at Newport Harbor, at the club level with Palisades Lacrosse and sprinkled in some private clients here and there along the way. I'm interested in individual and small group training. I also have experience in fitness and agility training for adults and youth athletes and love working with young women on mindset and wellness off the field as well!

"Courtney is an amazing coach. As a former D1 player she runs great drills and is able to break things down in a way that my daughter understands. She also has a great way of making it fun while keeping the focus.

My journey as a professional musician ignited my passion for teaching guitar. For 25 years, I've guided aspiring guitarists, sharing my knowledge and experience to help them reach their full potential. Some of my students have gone on to be professional working musicians and landed gigs with Ziggy Marley, Gwen Stefani and many more. I will help you unlock your musical intution/creativity and give you creative ways to practice and learn songs , solos etc . I will also teach you ways to track your progress. I believe playing and learning music should be fun, and I make it easier on you to understand certain concepts from a technical, theoretical and practical point of view. I accept beginner to advanced. I can tailor lessons to your needs , the style you want to play, and I can create assignments to help you reach your goals from a professional working musician's perspective. You will find just after a short period how much you can improve your skills and feel the confidence to continue to your goal. My teaching experiences have taken me through schools , clinics at music stores and workshops. I also coach bands , teach beginner to intermediate bass , and music production one on one or group. A little about my work as a musician : Over the years, I toured, recorded and played with numerous bands and artists such as, Carly Simon, Ben Taylor, Mike Keneally, Bryan Beller, Armande Sabel-Leco, Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney and Bill Payne, Pato Banton, Brendon Small's Galaktikon, Bird York, Janet Robin, Gwen Stefani, Eve, The Roots and more !
