TESTIMONIALS

“Coach Ryan Horsch is all about player excellence! It’s been such a pleasure to watch him work with my son both in private session as well as with his teammates at Palisades High School. You can feel how much he loves and respects the game and his players. He’s an excellent technical instructor, shows up every day with a big smile, always has a positive attitude, but expects his players to fulfill their potential. He’s very focused, tough, extremely knowledgeable yet patient with his players. Ryan's presence on the field at Pali High was felt immediately and in a very short time he’s made a tremendous impact. We are extremely lucky to have him!"
-Antonio Sosa (Diego Sosa '22 Pacific Palisades)
Ryan is a talented, positive, energic coach, an incredible leader and overall wonderful person.  I have had the pleasure of working closely with him over the past year as a parent of 2 teenage boys, who both play for Ryan on two different teams in club and HS.  He is an incredibly organized coach, who motivates kids by earning their respect through his LAX intellect and his leadership both on and off the field.  He is an all around nice person who is easy to talk to both as a parent and a kid.  I highly recommend Ryan for individual and team coaching for all levels." 
-Beth Grieve(Gunnar Grieve '22 Mad Dog West Elite, Pacific Palisades - Axel Grieve '24 Mad Dog LA, Mad Dog West Elite, Mad Dog National)
"Our experience with Coach Ryan Horsch has been excellent both on and off the field.  We first met Ryan as a coach of my son's Mad Dog LA 2025’s team.  From the beginning Coach Horsch ran organized and efficient practices and provided great communication with the boys.   He is encouraging and supportive but also pushes the kids to learn both the physical and mental part of the game.  He believes that leadership skills and team building are an integral part of a successful sports experience - and we love that he passes those values on to the kids he coaches.   My son has been participating in small-group lessons for the past few months and it has been a great experience for him.  The boys really look up to Coach Ryan because he is so obviously passionate about the game but he also makes practice a lot of fun and connects personally with the kids.  He has been a great mentor for my son and we look forward to our son learning more from him.I will also add that Coach Ryan is a great communicator with the Parents, as well.  He is quick to respond to messages and wants to make sure that we know what is going on and what his plans are for the boys and team. Overall, we have really enjoyed our experience with Coach Ryan and wish this was the experience of all of our kid’s coaches and trainers."
-Cindi Havert (Quinn Havert '25 Mad Dog LA, Mad Dog West Elite)
"We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have our son work with Coach Horsch. Since working with Ryan, I’ve seen my sons ability and lacrosse IQ sky rocket. Every lesson is well planned out to include personal skill development as well as drills that involve decision making in game like situations. One of our favorite things about Ryan is his overall demeanor with the kids. He keeps it light but still gets the most out of the kids and keeps the lessons productive. Above everything else Coach Horsch’s passion for the game allows him to have an amazing connection with the players.  It’s evident that his goal is to see his players develop and succeed both on and off the field. Thanks for everything you’ve done for Brody, Coach Horsch!"
