Head Coach – Michael Lepore

Bio

Athletics is a large piece of who I am. I continue to participate in organized hockey and work part-time in sports media. I was fortunate enough to attend the Sports Business Institute of Barcelona where I received a certificate in Marketing and Management. Fitness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are also of the upmost importance to me.

Playing competitive sports was a significant part of my childhood. Hockey, soccer and martial arts not only shaped who I became from an athletic standpoint, but they also gave me tools I use in many areas of life. Teamwork, discipline and self-confidence to name a few. I am very grateful for the experiences athletics has provided me with, and I see coaching as an opportunity to give back to the community.

Acting as an Assistant Coach for the past three seasons has been very fulfilling. So I am very excited to be progressing into a Head Coaching role with the 2025/26 U14 Leitrim Hawks.

Coaching Philosophy

My intention is to create a competitive environment with expectations of hard work, discipline and respect for others. I also hope to make the arena a place where the players can be comfortable, have fun and feel as if they are truly part of a team.

A strong emphasis will be placed on athletic preparation. I hope to create a culture where athletes are placing value in physical and mental preparation, proper fueling, and recovery.

From a technical standpoint, my focus will be on speed, skill and team play. Practices will be structured in a way so players are challenged, but also enjoy themselves. Much of my attention will be given to progressive improvement, and setting individual and team goals that will be monitored throughout the season.

I can’t wait to get started. GO HAWKS!
