Bill’s deep understanding of lacrosse, both from a player’s and coach’s perspective, gives him a comprehensive approach to player development.

These two teams included some of the game’s greatest players, such as Paul Rabil, Kyle Harrison, Matt Rewkowski, Kyle Barrie, and Mike Law. These players not only had incredible personal success, but they also helped raise the profile of lacrosse as a sport: Throughout his career, Bill also had the privilege of training with some of the most respected goalie coaches in the game: Sean Quirk, Jim Nagle, Billy Daye, and Jeremy Platt.
