“I have had the opportunity to play and coach many different sports over the years. I take a very enthusiastic approach to coaching,” says Miller. “I show up energetic and ready to go and expect the same from the players. My single priority is to give the players the ability to succeed in the game. Of all the sports I have played and coached, lacrosse by far is the one I appreciate and enjoy the most. I want to pass this enjoyment and appreciation of the sport to those I coach.”
