This is my first interview Coach John Galvin, Head Coach Colorado Men’s Lacrosse. I was so impressed with his passion as well as his attention to detail. We are always getting requests for more exposure to the top coaches in the MCLA, as well as coaches from the western part of the country – and this dynamic coach offers up some great drills and lacrosse concepts.

This is actually his second stint at Colorado, returning in 2011. Galvin returned to Boulder where he previously coached the Buffaloes for six years and led the team to the 2006 National Championship game.

In 2009, his last year at CU, the team finished with a 15-7 mark, earned the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference regular season title with a 5-0 record and advanced to the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association National Semifinals. He left the program in August of that year in order to focus his attention on his business in Boulder.

“I am definitely excited for the opportunity again, and I think it will give me some challenges,” Galvin said. “For the last two years I have had a few different perspectives and I’m excited to take on the head coaching world again.

During his first stint at Colorado, Galvin was named the MCLA Coach of the Year in 2004 and the RMLC Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2009. He was named the University of Colorado Collegiate Sport Clubs Coach of the Year in 2005. He went 65-28 (.699) in his time at CU and had four seasons of 10 wins or more.

Galvin played his collegiate lacrosse at Ohio Wesleyan University where he lettered and was named to the All-Conference team each of his four years (1999-2002). He was a team captain for the Battling Bishops during his junior and senior seasons.

Galvin, who is one of the most respected coaches in the MCLA, began his coaching career in 2003 as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III powerhouse Cortland State and helped lead the Red Dragons to the national semifinals that season. He was then hired as CU’s head coach in the fall of 2003.
