For two decades, I've cultivated a deep understanding of lacrosse, and I'm eager to share my insights. I grew up on Long Island so lacrosse has always been a part of my life. My playing career began when I was 6 years old, playing up with my older brother. I attended St. Anthony’s High School while playing for LI Express in the summer. For those years I was around some of the best coaches in the lacrosse world and gained invaluable information from them about lacrosse. After St. Anthony’s I attended St. John’s University as a member of the lacrosse team. I was lucky enough to play all four years there, playing attack, offensive midfield and defensive midfield. Upon graduation I decided to be a college assistant coach at Misericordia University where I was in charge of the defense, and helped lead our team to a conference title. Lacrosse will always be my passion, I enjoy all facets of the game and enjoy giving back to players with all the information I have gained of the game. I focus on helping athletes elevate their game through strategic development and personalized instruction. My goal is to instill confidence and a love for the sport.

"“As I am sitting here listening to my son Jordan playing guitar and to hear how good he is and the things he can do on it just amazes me!!! I can remember he picked up one of my guitars a few years ago. There is one person that I need to thank and that is Mitchell Truen for taking Jordan under his wing and keeping him going and teaching him and explaining what the guitar is all about. So Mitch, for that, I thank you and because of you, Jordan’s guitar has become part of him and he is never without it, Just like you told him, he is going to be something special to music some day and right now to me he already is. If you are interested in studying guitar, I highly recommend anybody’s kids, as well as adults, to look Mitch up, you won’t be disappointed.” Rick &Jordan Ogden
