Bill Ball - Head Coach at Loomis Chaffee School

In this conversation I am joined by Bill Ball, head coach at Loomis Chaffee and one of the most respected minds in the game. We dive into the evolution of lacrosse, what it really takes to develop players and teams in today’s environment, and the principles behind building a winning, sustainable program. Whether you’re a coach, player, or parent, this one is packed with insight you won’t want to miss.

Mike Marich - Project 33 Lacrosse

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Mike Marich to talk lacrosse, coaching, and building programs the right way. We dig into Mike’s journey, from picking up a stick after growing up as a basketball player, to building a successful program at Gunn School, and now coaching and training in Nashville. We talk culture over wins, why joy and creativity matter in player development, and how coaching has evolved over the years. Mike shares his defensive principles, his belief in questioning and self-correction, and why helping players think the game is more important than just running drills. This conversation is all about relationships, adaptability, and growing the game the right way.

Rob Gray - Skill Acquisition Specialist

preceptionaction.com [http://preceptionaction.com] Instagram - @robgray29 Today’s guest is Dr. Rob Gray, Associate Professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University and the mind behind the Perception Action Podcast. Rob is one of the leading voices in ecological dynamics and the constraints-led approach, helping coaches design practices that look and feel like the game. We dig into how to build “representative” sessions when you only have one or two athletes, why variability is the lowest-hanging fruit in skill acquisition, the power of external cues, and practical ways to add the right constraints to your small-sided games. Rob also shares where he sees the field going—AI-assisted coaching, motion tracking, and how smarter training can reduce injuries. If you coach lacrosse—or any invasion sport—you’ll come away with plug-and-play ideas for tomorrow’s practice.

Connor Mooney - Head Coach @ The Frederick Gunn Boys Lacrosse

In this episode, Brett and Connor talk lacrosse, from rebuilding programs and developing “lacrosse-first” athletes to the evolving strategies shaping today’s game. They discuss recruiting, player development through small-sided games, and the importance of decision-making over rigid systems. Connor Mooney, who currently serves as the Head Lacrosse Coach at The Frederick Gunn School, shares his journey from his roots in Western Massachusetts to becoming one of the region’s most respected young coaches. A former standout player at UMass and in Major League Lacrosse, Connor has coached across NCAA and club levels, bringing a player-first, principles-based approach that blends competitiveness with character development. His philosophy emphasizes developing smart, creative players who understand the “why” behind the game. Together, Brett and Connor dive into modern offensive and defensive tactics, the role of film and analytics, and how to build a team culture centered on growth, creativity, and love for the game.
