“My training with Coach Decklebaum really took my game to the next level and transformed me into the player I am today. He immediately took into consideration my concerns/suggestions and quickly understood how to formulate a plan to train my weaknesses. As someone who was slightly smaller than most, Dan especially helped me with athleticism, physicality, and aggressiveness. Having Dan as defender during 1v1 training prepared me for everything I would see in a live-game situation. In addition, he introduced me to some creative aspects of the game and further increased my overall confidence. Coach Deckelbaum’s coaching made a significant impact on my play and was a pivotal factor in my achievement of High School All-American accolades, as well as my All-Conference and Rookie of the Year awards at the college level.”

Dan Deckelbaum was absolutely instrumental in my development as an athlete and my progression to the D1 level eventually attending Colgate University. His training enhanced my overall athleticism (strength, speed, agility), my skills on the field and my lacrosse IQ. Beyond that, Dan helped me to navigate the recruiting landscape, which can seem overwhelming to a high school kid. His guidance helped me to land a spot on one of the country’s most competitive club teams and prepared me for the recruiting process in general. I can confidently say that Dan was more influential than anyone else in my journey to playing D1 lacrosse.
