at Manhattan College and most recently served as an assistant coach at Falmouth
High School.
“We
are so excited to bring a coach like Tyler on board our staff here at
Whitman-Hanson,” Athletic Director Bob Rodgers said. “Tyler has an impressive playing background
but what impressed me the most about him was his understanding that coaching at
its essence is teaching. I truly believe
our players will grow both on and off the field under his leadership.”
Sabens

coach at Falmouth High School where he helped guide their team to 3 straight Atlantic

In addition to his lacrosse coaching background, Sabens has also coached
both high school football and hockey.
“As a former NCAA Division I athlete, I have a
deep appreciation for the value of competitive athletics. My desire to enhance
sports’ positive influence on young people has been at the forefront of my
life’s mission since the start of my career in education and as a coach,”
Sabens said. “I believe educators and
coaches are one in the same, and my philosophy in both roles has been to
emphasize the development of athletic skill and proper fundamental technique,
while helping student-athletes tackles life’s challenges with a high degree of
integrity and commitment. Furthermore, my goal to foster healthy perspectives
toward competition, sportsmanship, and self-discipline stems from my emphatic
belief that a leader’s essential role is to encourage strong character while
reinforcing positive attitudes.”
