Rich Espinal brings a unique blend of sportsmanship and mental health expertise to his coaching practice. His journey began as a three-sport student-athlete in high school, excelling in football, basketball, and lacrosse. This dedication to sports continued at the NCAA Division I level, where he played both football and lacrosse at the College of the Holy Cross. After graduation, Rich founded the "Fat Rhinos," a post-collegiate men’s club lacrosse team, and served as President of the Northwestern University Men's Club Lacrosse Team during his graduate studies.

​

Rich's passion for sports extended into coaching elite-level high school lacrosse players for seven years. During this time, he had the privilege of working with players and their families who aspired to be standout competitors, league all-stars, essential assets to their college teams, and even All-Americans. Many of Rich's mentees achieved remarkable success, including NCAA champions and players representing Team USA, Team Sweden, and Team Bermuda in world competitions.
