Fast-forward ten years, and Jake becomes the lacrosse coach at The King’s Academy, probably a year or two before I’m hired, having never picked up a stick, or whatever they call it, until maybe his kids got interested and started playing. Jake is coaching against former Division I and professional lacrosse players now turned coaches at schools with very deep lacrosse programs and a lot of financial support. In 2018, he takes a team of freshmen and a couple of soccer kids from our team who had never played lacrosse and goes almost undefeated. I think it was 17 wins and 2 losses in his third season coaching lacrosse. The team he lost to twice was the number one ranked team in the state by Maxpreps at the time and finished the past two seasons as the number four ranked team in the state. Again, he has never played this game. This past season he goes across the state and defeats the IMG boys’ lacrosse team. IMG kids are paying thousands of dollars—sorry, tens of thousands of dollars—a year to be trained by the best lacrosse coaches in the country with the idea that they can get into the top D1 colleges and play professionally, and they probably will. Jake’s kids win!
