We’re so excited to release our interview with coaches and brothers, Gerry and Steve Byrne. The pair, along with their older brother and parents, grew up in Levittown, NY on Long Island with their older brother and parents in the nineteen seventies and early nineteen eighties. Steve, older than Gerry by five years, states in his understated, tongue in cheek manner, that he attended the local public high school, Levittown Division, so his parents could save up their money for their favorite son, Gerry. That way Gerry could attend perennial powerhouse Chaminade, the private Catholic school in Nassau county.

Gerry disputes whether or not he was the favorite son but is quick to point out there was no disputing what a great talent his older brother Steve was as the top recruited high school defensemen on Long Island back in 1979. Steve became a 3X All American at Virginia and eventually was a starter on defense for Team USA helping them win gold in Toronto, Canada in 1986.

Gerry states he was quite exceptional himself, as he was the only player at Chaminade who tried out for the lacrosse team in a thick Irish sweater. Despite his bewildering choice of apparel, he did make the team and enjoyed a solid high school career. He went on to play, also as a defensemen, at Umass Amherst where he was a 2X All New England selection and lead the Minutemen to the NCAA quarterfinals in 1986.

Gerry Byrne, of course, would go on to a stellar coaching career as the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame until 2019. Since 2020 has been the head coach at Harvard. Harvard is currently 6-0 and ranked #12 in the nation, one of the highest rankings the program has ever achieved in the NCAA era.
In this first episode, the brothers Byrne describe their upbringing and how lacrosse became a big part of both their lives growing up leading Steve to the University of Virginia and Gerry to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Steve describes his days on grounds in Charlottesville in raucous fashion as he and a number of Long Island lacrosse players clash with the local inhabitants. This is an enlightening, fun, and dramatic interview you won’t want to miss!

In this third and final installment of our discussion with two DIII Coaches of the Year, Steve Koudelka of Lynchburg and Brandon Childs of York, we round out our interview series with several intriguing questions.

We start off hearing what exactly these two highly successful coaches look for when they are recruiting student-athletes for their programs. They review what skills, levels of athleticism, and intangibles they are looking for year in and year out.

Coach Childs discusses how he was fortunate to have a PLL All Star, Paul Drenner, on his staff for three years at York. What impressed him the most was how Drenner's teaching style was primarily focused on sound fundamentals and some other elements you'll want to learn about in this podcast.

After some prodding from co-host Ron Dalgleish-the Big Dawg, the coaches discuss the benefits of DIII lacrosse. The smaller school, the stadium right on campus, the exciting atmosphere. Letting players play in a more relaxed, free flowing environment and many more mentioned inside the interview. All this along with another round of our rapid fire recruiting questions. Yet again, another episode you will not want to miss.!
