GET TO KNOW ME
Hi everyone! My name is Jenna Martino-DiFede and I'm here to help you get better at lacrosse and grow this amazing game in S. Florida and beyond, 1 lesson/clinic/practice/post at time. I've only been in Miami about 3 years (since 2018), but with a husband who grew up in Miami, I am here to stay!
I grew up in New Jersey and DID NOT play lacrosse my whole life. I actually played soccer and basketball and even dabbled in softball. Yes, I was a huge tomboy (sorry mom, you’re welcome dad). It wasn’t until the summer going into freshman year of high school that I picked up a stick. It was incredibly frustrating since it was so new and for me and like many others, harder to learn than I would have liked. But after sticking with it, falling in love with the game, and having some great coaches along the way, I excelled quickly and was lucky enough to play at the Division 1 level.
To my surprise, I was even lucky enough to be awarded a scholarship, become the team's leading scorer for 3 consecutive years, be there first Hawk to ever be named Regional All-American, and was selected as 1 of 60 players in the country to tryout for the US Women's Lacrosse Developmental Team. Since graduating in 2010 (St. Joseph's University - Philadelphia, PA), I’ve been involved in coaching at the high school and collegiate levels, both Division I and III. You can read a bit more about my credentials and previous schools I've coached for via the article link here:

PS. I'm the one on the right! This photo was taken after a BIG win in a game of basically mud lacrosse. We soon went onto the Atlantic 10 Championship game, becoming the most successful team in program history! #thehawkwillneverdie

What's up everyone!!
As noted, I am a coach & former player, but also a marketing professional, lacrosse advocate, sports fan, and so much more. I grew up playing sports, played Division 1 lacrosse in college, have worked in sales, management, marketing, coaching, and always looking to grow. In 2018 I started the @laxinthe305 Instagram account as a fun side-gig to help promote the game of lacrosse, and specifically women's lacrosse which is extremely under-represented online and on social media. After picking up traction with such positive feedback, I decided to turn it into a company. Lax in the 305 now operates as a Women's Lacrosse Media & Lifestyle Brand. Check out our website and Instagram accounts for more!
THE MISSION: To promote women's lacrosse through fun, exciting and educational content with a goal of inspiring both those who are currently a part of the lacrosse community, or those that may be in the future.
I believe that sports in general help shape us as the best humans we can be. They provide discipline, confidence, goal setting, conflict resolution, team building & relationships, time management, and so much more. All skills needed to excel in life and become your true & best self. Through the game of lacrosse, we can make the world a better place. Lax in the 305 is my way of spreading all of this positivity to as many people as we can!
Lax in the 305 also partners with select lacrosse related companies to promote products (that I truly believe in) & assist with marketing efforts. I always make sure all parties can benefit in some way, plus always providing value to the lacrosse community. Creating these win/win/win situations are the best type of partnerships!

Added Benefits
The College Search:
If you're thinking of playing lacrosse in college, all clients can take advantage of my extensive knowledge about the recruiting process and navigating their college search. I know as much as anyone how scary, exciting, and confusing it can be!
Extra Work:
Practice, and more practice is the only way to get better. Not only can we work on your game at each session, but I can give you drills, stick work-routines, wall ball routines, etc. that you can easily work on at home! Sometimes all you need 15 minutes and some open space or a wall to get in the practice you need to step up your game.
