“You have made great progress with MDP. I see a much smarter player on and off the field! You have gotten past the frustration of letting goals in and have become much more reactive to the ball. Keep up the hard work to get to the next level.”

“All those hours in the backyard, the endless practices and games in the mornings and nights, the heat and cold, week after week, month after month, year after year. We are very proud of you for your passion and commitment, in lacrosse and in life. We love you.”

“I’m so proud of your commitment and determination to continue to work to improve your game and keep striving to get better. Can’t thank Jimmy enough for all his coaching and guidance he provided as he brings so many different ideas and coaching styles that other coaches don’t touch on. Thanks MDP!”

“My son and I first met the guys from MDP during the fall of my son’s junior year of high school. My son was playing on a club team coached by Jimmy and Scott. My son’s goal at the time was to make the starting lineup of his high school team that spring. Over the course of the next several years my son with a lot of hard work and the coaching and constant support of the guys from MDP realized not just his short term goal but ultimately realized his dream of successfully playing lacrosse at the Division 1 level in college. My son and I have maintained a great relationship with the guys from MDP to this day even though my son has graduated from college and has finished his competitive lacrosse career. The guys from MDP not only made a tremendous difference in my son’s lacrosse career but they became both friends and mentors to him and made a tremendous positive difference in his life. I just can’t say enough positive things about the experience we had with MDP lacrosse.”

“My name is Steven Frank, I was a 4 time varsity lacrosse player at Hauppauge High School as well as a 4 time member of the LIU Post Lacrosse program. I began my lacrosse career when I was in 3rd grade and I fell in love with it shortly after. As I grew older I knew that I wanted to play college lacrosse. It became my biggest goal in my athletic career and I worked non-stop in order to achieve that goal. Once I got to high school I was able to see the talent that I was up against and I realized that being a stand out player was not going to be easy. I was introduced to MDP early in my high school career and made the decision to begin training with them immediately. Little did I know, this decision would not only change my lacrosse career, but my entire life as well. I was a decent lacrosse player, I was fast, physical and played hard, but I lacked the fluidity and mental quickness to play at the highest level. Once I began working with MDP I completely changed as a player. I began developing traits that allowed me to see plays that most people would never see. I developed the confidence to use different moves, throw tighter passes, and shoot from different angles. I learned how to use my body to my advantage and how to put myself in positions to make the best plays possible. My dodging became not just good, but phenomenal, I became a threat on the field at all times which was something that I never had before. Once I shaped myself into a pretty good player I began looking into colleges and putting myself in front of coaches. Coach Montana and Coach Bryan are very well known in the lacrosse community and have a ton of experience with the recruiting process. The process is known to be extremely stressful and a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. The coaches at MDP made this process much easier for me, they helped guide me and gave me incredible advice on how to go about situations that I had never been in before. I committed to LIU Post my senior year of high school and it was the greatest decision of my life. MDP is more than just a lacrosse training program, they are teachers of the game and of life, they will go out of their way to help you and guide you through your journey as a lacrosse player. They gave me the tools I needed to be the best that I could be and I will never be able to thank them enough for that.”
