Brett Lynn is a USA Lacrosse Gold Certified Girls Coach with a passion for building strong, well-rounded athletes. He was first introduced to lacrosse as a parent on the sidelines and gradually stepped into coaching — first by helping at practices, then serving as an assistant coach for his daughter’s team, and eventually leading a team of his own. With a background in playing multiple sports, Brett brings a wide athletic perspective to the game and believes many skills from other sports translate directly to success in lacrosse. His coaching philosophy focuses on effort, attitude, and fun — encouraging players to “win the next second,” control what they can control, and embrace the challenge of turning hard things into second nature. Coach Brett is dedicated to creating a positive, growth-minded environment where players learn, compete, and develop a lasting love for the game.
