Here is the feedback from a recent clinic in Chicago…

“As you know we are building a program from the ground up. I can’t tell you how great the classroom and field time was for our coaching staff. We are fortunate some of our coaches have high school or college playing experience. We all learned the game in the old school way of doing things, and have been teaching the game in the same fashion. The game has changed, why hadn’t we?

Your approach to this generation of lacrosse player combined with your ability to reiterate information collected from your interviews has changed our entire program’s approach for the better!…..much better!

We have had only one week of practice since the clinic. I have received an email from every coach commenting on what a difference this new approach makes to their practice.

The coaches are re-energized and excited teach these new concepts to our players. I can’t wait to see the progression.

Thank you so much for making the trip north, your students in the Windy City are looking forward to doing this again next year!”

P.S. My ball budget just tripled!

Three hrs in the classroom with the coaches featuring PPT and some video, then a 90 min or two hr practice on the field with 20-25 players or so… this would be for the 20-25 coaches in your network, and yes you may film if you like,

The coaches in your network would also receive access included in the clinic fees, to any one of my four eBooks, the descriptions and contents are described in the products section of the site, and we have sold hundreds of eBooks and videos, and the response has been great as well as humbling,

* Changing Philosophies in Coaching Lacrosse $34 ea, 52 pages

* Coaching Youth Lacrosse $19 ea, 19 pages

* Customized Practice Plans $19 ea, 25 pages

* Specialty Lacrosse Drills for Lacrosse Coaches $19 ea, 43 pages

Fees: Discounted for any Members of our site, Free or Premium Members,
$ 650 plus travel expenses,

I have also provided more of a resume on me, and finally, following the clinic, and if you are happy with the work, I will ask you to supply a brief testimonial that I might use in my marketing materials and/or website,

Let me know your thoughts,

And thanks so much!

Comments on Mike…

“He is passionate about lacrosse, a student of the game, a Former Coach of the Year, he took a four-year program to the State Championship (McIntosh) and frankly is a talented and GREAT lacrosse coach. He can provide practice plans, technical instruction, scouting reports, motivation, and access to the best coaches Division I NCAA in the country. If you want someone who can take your program to the next level then why not consider a coach who has been there and can get your program there? I’m not promoting Mike because he’s my good friend, I’m promoting him because that is what I would do if I was in your situation.”

Group License Discounts for Coaches

We want to thank all of you, are coaches for the tremendous response to our Lacrosse Coaches Site! The feedback has been awesome and we are working to provide even more great content for you and your teams!

We are starting to get more requests for some type of Group License Discounts. Many coaches would like to have all of the Lacrosse Coaches in their system have access via Premium Membership to the entire site including the growing library of podcasts with the top coaches in the country. Many Lacrosse Coaches would like for their Rec and Youth Program Coaches to be able to learn more about coaching lacrosse through some type of package program.

Do to this growing concern we are now offering a Group Pricing License to groups of Coaches.

1-5 Coaches, Group License Package 1

Unlimited Access, $800.00 per year, or a savings of over 50%!!!
Monthly Memberships for ten coaches would be $1,772.40 per year, SAVE $972.40 or over 50%

Term: The License for Group Packages will be 1 Year, or twelve months from set up

Billing: The Billing will significantly discounted and paid via a single check or credit card as an Annual Fee. With the nature of this unique program, all invoicing will be manual. We will send or email an email to the School, Booster Program, or Rec Department an Invoice for the entire year.

1. Choose the applicable number of coaches you want to include in your unique License Program

2. Have each of the coaches then register and join the site individually as Free Members. This gives them a unique username and password, and also allows us to individually track and monitor access to the site. If they are already Free Members make sure they provide you the same email address they used to register initially.

6. All License Payments are Non-Refundable, although we can change the names eligible to have access to the site, staying within the current term of the License Agreement.

Questions,
1. Can we modify the number of coaches outside of the two packages available?

A. Unfortunately since this is a totally manual process for us, we are only offering the two License Packages at 1-5 Coaches, and 6-10 Coaches at this time.

2. If I am already a Premium Member, can I modify my Membership to be included in a License Package?

A. Sure, in fact we anticipate many of our Members doing so. But, you must cancel your monthly payments with PayPal, then send me an email at mike@laxcoachmike.com, giving me the circumstances and details including the Group Name on the License so I can insure you have access under the License.

3. Can we share access with others that are not in the License Package on occasion?

A. No, if we see repeated use or entry of names and passwords, or use under a single name from two different computers at the same time with the same passwords we will terminate the entire license. Lacrosse is a game of integrity and we are trusting that our Members and Coaches will respect the work that has gone into the development and content on our site.

4. If we do not fill the entire amount of coaches in our License can we add coaches up to our limit later?

A. Absolutely, but the term of the License will be 12 months from initiation for all, regardless of when they are added.
