About the Author
Dave Prossner has been involved with lacrosse as a player, coach, referee, fund raiser, and parent of lacrosse players for over 30 years. He learned the game at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts his sophmore year in high school. He went on to play at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a starter as a defenseman. He got involved again when his family relocated to Maryland in 1986 and he became a youth lacrosse coach and began coaching his three oldest boys. Asked to be an assistant at the local high school, he again volunteered his services.
Realizing that for lacrosse to grow in his area, he and two others founded the Talbot Lacrosse Association to raise money for the growth of youth lacrosse for boys and girls in his area. Elected as the first President of the organization, they continue to grow and last year raised over $20,000 for the local program. He retired from coaching in 1995. Wanting to be free to watch his three oldest sons play Division I college lacrosse on weekends, but free also to watch his youngest son's weekday games, he also found time to become a certified referee and refereed high school, youth, and men's league games for the past two seasons.
Having gone through the recruiting process three times for his own sons, he realized early on a need to get his sons looked at since they weren't coming out of a known lacrosse hot bed. His system has been used many times for both boys and girls in lacrosse, field hockey, football, ice hockey, volleyball and other sports as well. It is particularly useful for parents and student athletes who are facing the college selection process for the first time.
He is a full time real estate agent for Century 21 and resides with his wife Candace and their four sons in Trappe, MD. He is also available as a guest speaker on "Recruiting and the High School Athlete." |
