About Our Coaches
I grew up playing baseball and football and I didn’t start playing lacrosse until Sophmore year of high school. After playing lacrosse for the first time, I fell in love. Eventually I received a small scholarship to attend and play Reinhardt University in Waleska, Ga. To sum up my playing career, I ended up being 1x SELC champion, 4x AAC champion, 2x National All tournament team, 2x team captain, 3x National Champion, and First team All American in 2019.
After graduating I have worked with a couple very successful seasons with club teams in Metro Atlanta such as; Kings Elite and Thunder Lacrosse. As far as high school bal goes, I served four years as JV head coach at a very successful Lassiter high school program. Planning on being thw 2024 Defensive Coordinator for Reinhardt University while obtaining my MBA. I love the game and love the gift I was blessed with to spread knowledge with the next generations!

Brian K. This camp was the perfect balance between intense training and enjoyable activities. The coaching staff pushed us to our limits during drills and scrimmages, helping us refine our skills and improve our game.
Nolan H. My son informed me that the coaching at this camp was the best coaching he has ever received. The coaches were particularly good at adapting the program to players of all skill levels. This year was only his second year playing lacrosse and GameBreaker did a wonderful job making him feel comfortable.
