Sten will drop in

We’re happy to announce that Sten Jernudd will be a guest coach at the clinic this year. Sten just finished his freshman year playing NCAA DI lacrosse for the Big Red at Cornell. He’ll share details about how he balances his academic life combined with the athletic demands of playing lacrosse for the #2 ranked men’s lacrosse program in the country, followed by a face-off and shooting demonstration. He played for Lakeside during high school and is a Starz Alumni and is the head coach of the summer Gell 5/6 Elite program. Sten shared his recruiting experience shortly after I first met him and I hope that you can take a moment to read about it here.
