The Coach

Former collegiate athlete. Lifelong student of the sport.

Lavel competed at Lincoln University (PA) as part of two national championship teams. That experience — training under championship-level standards — is what every athlete who works with him gets.

For 17 years, he has coached high school athletes to titles and scholarships, and adults returning to the sport. His sessions are personalized, video-reviewed, and built around your athlete's specific weak points — never one-size-fits-all.

Professional instructor my daughter looked forward to training with him each time. Coach saw what she needed to work on right away. As far as I'm concerned, Coach Lavel will coach her through her career.

We were most impressed by the compilation video he made of the training session. It was ready and available within just a few hours. My athlete reports: 'Coach Lavel knows his stuff!' And we agree!

Coach Lavel was AWESOME! He works with both my kids and won them over immediately. They believe in what he says because he takes time to literally show them what to do before they do it.
