Background & Credentials

Built From the Inside Out.

Coach Runyon's background isn't built on theory. It's built on 15 years on sidelines, in film rooms, and on recruiting calls at the college level.

Playing Career

Midfielder at Springfield College, where he majored in Movement and Sports Studies. USILA All-American and 2x All-Conference selection. Learned the offensive game from the inside out as a player before ever stepping into a coaching role.

Coaching Career

Assistant coach at three Top 20 programs, then head coach of a D3 program for five years. Ran offensive systems, managed film sessions, recruited at the national level, and developed players at every position on the field.

Film Room

Thousands of hours of film sessions at the college level. Built this program around one belief: most players don't improve because no one has ever sat down with them and reviewed the intricate details of their individual skills.

Athletes Coached

Over 100 athletes have gone through these programs. Players across all levels have improved measurably in the specific areas they came in to fix, from shooting mechanics to full offensive game development.

Coaching Philosophy

Why Film. Why Structure. Why This Way.

Most players are training blind.

The average high school lacrosse player has never seen their own film. They've gotten verbal feedback. "your release is slow," "you telegraphed that pass" but they've never actually watched themselves play with a coach who can break down exactly what's happening and why. That's what this is built to fix.

Personalized beats generic every time.

A workout PDF or a YouTube drill playlist isn't a training plan. It's noise. Every program starts with your film, your tendencies, your specific areas. and builds a structure around what you need to fix. That's what gets results, and that's what I spent 15 years doing at the college level.

Structure creates confidence.

When a player doesn't know what to work on, they either avoid it or spin their wheels. When they have a plan. a real weekly structure with daily drills that build on each other. they stop guessing. Confidence follows structure. It's true at every level of the game.

What I expect from every athlete who applies.

I'm not looking for the most talented player in their graduating class. I'm looking for players who are willing to work, who want honest feedback, and who understand that getting better takes time and structure. If that's you. regardless of where you are right now. this program will work for you.

How I Coach

The Coaching Approach.

Every athlete who comes through this program goes through the same foundational coaching process, regardless of which program they're in.

Film First

We start with your actual footage. Not what you think your tendencies are. what the film shows. This is where most players see things about their game that no one has ever pointed out to them.

Identify the Real Focus Areas

Based on your film, I identify the 2 to 3 areas that will have the biggest impact on your performance. Not everything at once. the specific things that are limiting you most right now.

Build Your Structure

From that film breakdown, I build your personalized weekly training structure. which days, which drills, what to focus on in each session. No guesswork. No wasted reps.

Submit Your Reps, Get Real Feedback

As you work through the program, you film yourself and submit your reps. I watch them and give you specific, actionable feedback. the same way I did it with college players in the film room.

Progress, Adjust, Improve

As you improve, the plan adjusts. We track what's working, identify new areas to attack, and keep the structure building on itself. the same progression model I used at the college level.
