Coach Trev
Over the past 3 decades, sport has always been a guiding force toward experiences I wanted in life. Lacrosse in particular, has allowed me to discover who I am, what I intend to offer to the world, and how scary things can be when not in control of your attitude and effort.
​
In 2014, I broke my back while preparing for my senior lacrosse season at Seton Hill University. Upon returning home, getting some professional help, and engaging with the local lacrosse communities, I realized how many others were ill-prepared for the lifestyle that came along with being an NCAA athlete.
I saw an opportunity to help others avoid the mistakes I made.
​
In 2017, I started Take Control Training, which strives to change the landscape of how Canadian athletes prepare for the next level. We teach our community to be multi-dimensional human beings, and to take pride in all that they do - especially being a good teammate.
As a coach, I understand the importance of vulnerability, consistency, and honesty. My athletes are encouraged to share who they are with entire TCT community, and they have. I love the amount of inside jokes and traditions we have created over the past 7 years, and know we have a ton more ahead of us.
To date, TCT has coached and tested over 2,000 athletes across a variety of teams, academies, and sports, all over North America.
But this is just my story - I'd love to hear yours, so don't be a stranger!
