Through his nineteen years experience coaching youth, high school and college lacrosse, Robin invokes a solid fundamental approach to the game of lacrosse, an understanding of the history of the game and a positive experience to all the players.

"Stick skills are the key to a good lacrosse player. They should be worked on outside of practice, so you can work all the other parts of the game during practice."

An advocate of the finess game and a "Stick Doctor", his advice is..."A great lacrosse stick is a stick which is strung to compliment your cradling and shooting style. If you want to be a great lacrosse player you need to have a great lacrosse stick and at the very least know how to maintain it."
