Coach Fisher is heading into his 10th year of coaching girls lacrosse…which started with his eldest daughter, Stella and has continued with his youngest daughter, Edie.

One of the first questions we are asked as coaches is, ‘Did you play lacrosse?’. For Coach Fisher that answer is “no” but he played many different sports growing up including Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, and Track & Field (sprinter and pole vault).

He has learned a lot about the sport over the years by being involved nearly year-round since his start in 2015. His style has been described as “coaching through positive reinforcement only”. “If you’re not making mistakes you’re not trying hard enough”

Graduate of Ball State University with a degree in Human Resources – Management and spent nearly 20 years in recruiting and human resources before starting his own business. Native Restoration Services, LLC specializes in ecological restoration and native landscaping

My name is Emma Connell and this will be my 4th year coaching at HSE.

I am a 2017 graduate of HSE and have played lacrosse for the past 14 years, including 4 years as a varsity player on attack at HSE. I was a part of the 2015 state runner up and 2016 state championship teams and have throughly enjoyed coaching offense for the past 3 years on the turf I grew up on.

Aside from coaching I am a laboratory scientist for IU health and love going hiking, traveling, and trying new restaurants.

The coaches are all very excited to start the newest chapter of HSE girls lacrosse and cannot wait to have a fun memorable season for the girls! Go Royals!
