In this second installment of our interview series with 2X Sun Conference COY, Dan Chemotti, the head men’s lacrosse coach of the Richmond Spiders, tells us what inspired him to pursue the coaching profession. One factor was the coaches he had learned through over the years and he admits to having had coaches that anyone in the game of lacrosse would envy: Mike Mesere of West Genesee HS (91% Career Winning Percentage), Mike Pressler of Duke, Bryant, and the PLL, Joe Albericci of West Point, and Charlie Toomey of Loyola to name a few.

He also describes what it was like at his very first college coaching job, which Mike Pressler helped him attain, with Coach Rick Sowell of Dartmouth. And how this man had a profound influence on him along with his powerful tenant of absolute truthfulness. He was someone Coach Chemotti would follow to St. John’s before taking a position at Loyola College in Baltimore.Next, we hear how Chemotti, who coached at Loyola over a six year span, helped generate and was witness to, one of the most transformative seasons in the history of D1 men’s lacrosse. In 2012, under head coach Charlie Toomey, the Greyhounds, who had not made the NCAA tournament in four years, despite having recorded four 10 win seasons, went on to an 18-1 record and won the Men’s Lacrosse National Championship in 2012, the first and only in school history.

And finally Coach Chemotti gives us the details on how he transformed a club program to a legitimate conference and NCAA tournament contender and has continued to experience success over an eleven year span. This is a jam packed episode that you won’t want to miss. Sit back, enjoy, and take it all in!

We are excited to bring you the first installment of our interview series with two time Southern Conference Coach of the Year, Head Coach of the Richmond Spiders, Dan Chemotti.

In this episode we delve into Chemotti’s early years as the son of a high school basketball coach, with an older brother who played both basketball and lacrosse, growing up in the Syracuse area of Central New York.

Dan describes how he went on to play lacrosse for the legendary coach Mike Mesere at nearby perennial powerhouse West Genesse High School and how he became the Central New York player of the year as a senior.

Next we discussed his difficult decision to leave home (and an offer from Syracuse) behind and go to Duke to play for Mike Pressler and a young coach Joe Alberici. While at Duke he would help the team win two ACC titles and make it to the NCAA quarterfinals twice as he was elected captain of the team in his senior year.

We review how he came to the decision to pursue a career in coaching and go in depth on the influence his coaching mentors such as Coaches Mesere, Pressler, Alberici and Charlie Toomey had on this decision. This is a jam packed episode that you won’t want to miss. Sit back, enjoy, and take it all in!

In this third and final installment of our discussion with two DIII Coaches of the Year, Steve Koudelka of Lynchburg and Brandon Childs of York, we round out our interview series with several intriguing questions.

We start off hearing what exactly these two highly successful coaches look for when they are recruiting student-athletes for their programs. They review what skills, levels of athleticism, and intangibles they are looking for year in and year out.

Coach Childs discusses how he was fortunate to have a PLL All Star, Paul Drenner, on his staff for three years at York. What impressed him the most was how Drenner's teaching style was primarily focused on sound fundamentals and some other elements you'll want to learn about in this podcast.

After some prodding from co-host Ron Dalgleish-the Big Dawg, the coaches discuss the benefits of DIII lacrosse. The smaller school, the stadium right on campus, the exciting atmosphere. Letting players play in a more relaxed, free flowing environment and many more mentioned inside the interview. All this along with another round of our rapid fire recruiting questions. Yet again, another episode you will not want to miss.!
