This is my third podcast with one of the most popular coaches on my site. Alberici enters his 10th season at the helm of the Army lacrosse program. Following in the footsteps of some of the biggest names in the history of the sport, Alberici roams the same sideline where Hall of Fame legends such as Jack Emmer, Ace Adams, Dick Edell and F. Morris Touchstone, once tread. A former assistant to Emmer, Alberici returned to the banks of the Hudson River after a nine-year stint as an assistant coach at Duke.

He always delivers a number of great drills and even more coaching insights. Although common in today’s college coaching environment he was one of the first I talked to regarding changing up the sequence of traditional practice plans. I love him. He is a multi time recipient of the Patriot League Coach of the Year, in addition to being named John Empire Lacrosse League Coach of the Year earlier in his career.

During Alberici’s nine years on head coach Mike Pressler’s Duke staff, the Blue Devils forged a sparkling 96-47 (.671) record, made seven appearances in the NCAA Tournament – including a run of six-straight postseason trips between 1997 and 2002 – and captured a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference titles (2001 and 2002).

What you may not have known — A 1991 graduate of Alfred University, Alberici was a two-time lacrosse All-American in 1990 and 1991 and also garnered Academic All-America accolades as a senior. A four-year starter at attack, he set six school scoring records and led the Saxons to winning seasons in 1989, 1990 and 1991. A three-time team captain, Alberici led the entire nation, including all three divisions, in assists as a junior, garnering 78 helpers in 17 contests for a 4.6 assist per-game average.

He is respected not only by our ‘Member’ coaches but his peers as well. Alberici served a term as an assistant coach for the U.S. National Lacrosse Team at the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester, England, helping the Americans to the gold medal. In 2007, he was also appointed to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Board of Directors, the sport’s national governing body. Currently, Alberici serves on multiple lacrosse committees around the country. He is a member of the Tewaarton Award selection committee, the USILA National Poll and Assistant Coach of the Year panel. He also serves on the US Lacrosse National Team coach selection comittee . Alberici and his wife, Petra, reside at West Point with their son, Maximus, and daughter, Isabella.
