Will Schreiner
Will grew up with a stick in his hands. He started playing in first grade and climbed into the goal in fifth — and never looked back. By high school at Avon Grove in Pennsylvania, he’d helped his program to two District 1 championships and earned MVP and team captain honors before catching the eye of Division I coaches.
Then came Penn State.
Will’s road there wasn’t a fairy tale, and that’s exactly why it matters. He arrived, waited his turn, and when his number got called as a sophomore, he stepped into the net and delivered — backstopping the Nittany Lions to a national ranking, posting double-digit saves again and again, and turning in a 15-save masterpiece against Ohio State that’s still one of the best games of his career. He started all 15 games that season in front of big crowds, against some of the best offenses in the country.
He also learned what it means to compete through adversity, to lose a starting job and keep showing up for his team anyway, and to lead whether or not he was the one in the spotlight. That’s the part you can’t teach from a clipboard — and it’s the part that shows up in how he coaches.
More than lacrosse.
Here’s the thing about Will: he was never the most physically gifted goalie in the gym. He got where he got by outworking people, watching film until his eyes crossed, and obsessing over the small details that separate good from great. That’s a coachable path. It’s repeatable. And it’s exactly what he teaches.
He’s not interested in flashy drills that look good on Instagram and do nothing on game day. He’s interested in making you better — measurably, honestly, one rep at a time. Whether you’re a six-year-old who just wants to have fun or a junior gunning for a college commitment, you get the same thing: someone who’s actually walked the path, treating your game like it matters. Because it does.
