“Coach Luke’s ability goes far beyond the x’s and o’s. His innate ability to connect with and understand his players is admirable. As an introverted person, I appreciated Luke’s ability to recognize my comfort zone and playing style. He not only made me a better lacrosse player, but also helped me grow as a person as he taught me skills that proved invaluable since leaving Summit High School.”
