Wabash College Hires Chris Burke to Lead Lacrosse Program
By Rising Coaches Article on Jun 14, 2021 12:41:36 PM
Wabash College has named Chris Burke to lead its men's lacrosse program according to Wabash Director of Athletics Matt Tanney. The national search for a new Lacrosse coach was led by Rising Coaches Search and Consulting.
Burke comes to Wabash from Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri, where he served the past four seasons as the first assistant coach, defensive and goalie coach, and recruiting coordinator for the men's lacrosse program. The Saints were ranked as high as 12th nationally in 2021 and earned berths in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Tournament in three of Burke's four seasons as an assistant. Burke coached the 2019 GLVC Men's Lacrosse Player of the Year and the 2021 GLVC Freshman of the Year. A total of nine Maryville players earned All-GLVC honors for the 2021 campaign.
Burke spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Saint Leo University in Florida before joining the NCAA Division II program as a player. Burke served as team captain as a senior and helped the Lions earn a Sunshine State Conference tournament appearance in 2016. He was the Student Veterans of America President while at Saint Leo, as well.
"An experienced coach with strong recruiting ties both in the Midwest and nationally, Coach Burke will advance and grow the Wabash lacrosse program," Tanney said. "Chris' reputation as a builder of team cultures precedes him. He's a welcome addition to Wabash College and Little Giants athletics."
A native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Burke won three divisional championships as a member of the First Colonial Lacrosse Club.
Burke served as a member of the United States Marine Corps for five years. He rose to the rank of corporal and received a Purple Heart after being wounded in combat in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
"I would like to thank Mr. Tanney and the members of the search committee for their time and consideration," Burke said. "I would also like to thank the coaches, players, and parents at both Saint Leo and Maryville for preparing me for this next step in my coaching career. I want to create an excitement for Wabash lacrosse. I want to create an environment for growth not just for the players but for the staff, as well. Building the program is going to take patience, it's not going to happen overnight. It will be built through the culture and the identity of our team."

- Why did you get into coaching?
I love this game. For me it's being able to mentor and teach life lessons through this game. Also want to have a positive impact on the lives of the young men that I coach. The exact same way all of the coaches I had, did for me. - How many years have you been coaching?
9 - Who has been your biggest inuence in coaching and why?
Travis DeCuire. He was my position coach when I played, and really poured into my basketball growth on and off the floor, and now has done the same with my coaching career. - What do you enjoy most about coaching and why?
Getting a chance to witness daily, weekly, monthly and yearly growth in the young men I get to coach. Love being a small part of their growth from boys to men. - What has been one of the greatest lessons you have learned about life through coaching? Please explain.
Remain as Consistent as possible in every aspect of your life. On and Off the court. In life it is human nature and easy to get too high when things are going well, and too low when during tougher times. Being able to remain consistent with who you are and the messages you deliver are extremely important. - What is your ultimate goal in coaching?
Being a Head Coach is my ultimate goal and continuing to have a positive impact on the staffs, and young men I am around. - What has been your greatest lesson as a coach during the pandemic?
During the pandemic, my greatest lesson has been gaining a greater understanding of my core values, and the things that are most important in my life. - What has been one of the toughest lessons you have learned through coaching. Please explain.
As much as you want to have such a huge impact on every player that you recruit or coach. You will have the student athlete that you just can't seem to get through to. It always stings, because regardless of the circumstances, you still come away from the situation always thinking you could have done more. Those situation sting. - As a minority coach, what do you feel has been the biggest challenge for minority coaches in the profession?The proper education on how to succeed long term in the profession as well as advancement opportunities. Knowing we may only get one shot at this thing. Being as prepared as possible through proper training is vital.
- Tell us something about yourself that people would be surprised to know about you.
I spend a lot of my free time doing "Carpentry". I try to build any and everything around my house.

Rising Coaches Launches Intro to Coaching to Help Athletes Transition into Coaching
By Rising Coaches on Mar 1, 2021 7:00:00 AM
Birmingham, AL. Rising Coaches has long been known for hosting first class events for the coaching community. Beginning in 2021, they will host their first event for student-athletes. The “Intro to Coaching” program will provide the knowledge, resources and path-way for student-athletes to successfully transition into a career in coaching. “I think a lot of athletes would love to make a career out of teaching the game that they love, but they don’t know where to start,” said Rising Coaches CEO Adam Gordon. “There is no roadmap to this profession. There’s no training, or resources and a lot of times you have to know someone just to know what jobs are even open.” Intro to Coaching will look to fill that void. The two-day conference will cover topics including earning trust and responsibilities, building relationships with your players and staff, navigating the profession, leveraging your experiences, financial planning and more. Rising Coaches will bring in some of the top coaches from the HS, AAU, College and Professional levels to speak to their group. The conference will conclude with a speed-interview session. Head and Assistant coaches will be invited to meet and interview the participants of the Intro to Coaching program. “Our goal is for our participants to leave with an understanding of the realities of the coaching profession, an understanding of what it takes to be successful in the coaching profession, and an expanded network and relationships that may help them personally or professionally.”

By Rising Coaches on Feb 14, 2021 2:16:00 PM
- Why did you get into coaching?
It was purely "accidental". I was a pre-med major in college and once I nished my overseas pro career, I thought I would start getting hours for my medical career. I missed the game so much that I became an AAU coach while getting my hours. The next thing I know, I am interviewing at Bucknell for the assistant coach position and the rest is history.

After the first rendition of the event brought together more than 200 coaches for a night of conversation and growth, this month’s panel had an extra emphasis on those who work at the grassroots levels of basketball. Leaders in JUCO and prep basketball as well as representatives from the scouting community spoke for close to four hours about the ways they can continue to educate themselves, each other, and their programs about these important topics.
