Daniel Heinrich, Recruiting Coordinator

Missouri Baptist University

[email protected]

I am originally from St. Charles, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. Growing up, I played a variety of sports including soccer, basketball, ice hockey, and lacrosse in high school.

I was fortunate to be recruited to play lacrosse at Missouri Baptist University, also in the St. Louis area, where I studied both Exercise Science and Sport Management. On the lacrosse team, I started out as a goalie, but, during my senior year, I switched to both defenseman and midfielder due to our small roster size. I was named an NAIA Scholar-Athlete three times. Academically, I was the President of the Kappa Omicron NU Human Sciences Honors Society for two years, received the Outstanding Student Achievement award for being top of my major’s graduating class, was a member of the Sport Management mentorship program, and graduated Summa Cum Laude.

I have been a lacrosse coach since I was in high school, getting my start with the program that helped me get recruited, the St. Louis Samurai. With the Samurai, I am a team coach within the middle school program and a goalie coach for the high school athletes. In college, I coached for Eureka High School as the JV Defensive Coordinator for 2 years. I currently coach for my high school program, the Howell United Warriors, as the program goalie coach.

I was fortunate to find a school that checked all my boxes academically and athletically, and I’m excited to help guide student-athletes and their families through the recruitment process. The driving force behind my academic, and now professional, experiences has been to make a positive impact on others, and I am extremely excited to follow my dreams while pushing others to do the same.
