The son of two physicians, Will is originally from Long Beach, CA. An accomplished student, golfer and musician coming out of high school, Will attended UCLA with hopes of playing collegiate golf. When those dreams failed to materialize, lacrosse was the next step. Will learned to play and honor the game from his two amazing coaches, Mike Allan and Lane Jaffe.  By his junior year, Will had become a starter on defense and had the honor of being a captain for one game during his senior season. In the fall of 2006 Will assisted Mitch Fenton in founding the West LA Lacrosse Association.  With former teammate Isaac Osei-Bobie, the two coached the inaugural West LA “Cougars.”  What started with a little over a dozen kids has grown into something really special. Golf and medical school gave way to 6-diamond mesh and the coach’s whistle…and he wouldn’t have it any other way.  Will currently coaches the U-15 Santa Monica Boy’s team and is actively involved with West LA Lacrosse.  In addition Will helps coordinate UCLA Lacrosse Alumni events throughout the year. Will is also the general manager of South Swell Sports - the only lacrosse specialty store in LA County.  00:59:00Kamala Nellennoyouth,family,lacrosse,high school,golfAug. 8, 2012 Dana will be talking with youth lacrosse coach Will Madrid.

Alan played at Los Angeles Pierce Junior College (1984-1985), Cal St University at Northridge  and with the Wichita Bronco's of the Jayhawk League (1986). His college coaching experience includes 4 years (1990-1993) at Los Angeles Mission Junior College/College of the Canyons & 7 years as an assistant coach/consultant for the Chatham A's of the prestigious Cape Cod League. Since 1991 Alan has been a personal trainer and consultant with over 200 professional players, including 2002 Cy Young Award Winner Barry Zito and All-Stars Dan Haren and Andrew Bailey. Alan, has also consulted with many schools and organizations including the Texas Rangers Baseball Club and the 2004 National Champion Cal State University, Fullerton baseball team. Jaeger Sports, in Los Angeles, CA was founded on the principle that training should address more than just an athlete's physical skills and preparation. Because a baseball player's performance is typically a reflection of his mental skills and focus, their programs are not limited solely to the physical/mechanical aspects of training.  A significant amount of our training addresses the development of each player’s mental approach to performance. More specifically, players learn that success is ultimately based on a mental trust that allows reactions, instincts and talents to take over in game situations, "when it counts".Join the chat room so you can participate in the discussion. 01:01:00Kamala Nellennobusiness,sports training,entertainment,family,youthJoin us at noon ET on June 27, 2012 when Dana will chat with baseball trainer Alan Jaeger.
