Hayden King
Assistant Coach
Colorado State University Pueblo men’s lacrosse head coach Sean Blair has announced the addition of Hayden King as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator for the ThunderWolves program.
King brings nearly seven-plus years of lacrosse coaching experience at the college, high school, and club levels in the Southern Colorado area.
“I am excited to add Hayden King to the Men’s Lacrosse coaching staff at Colorado State University Pueblo, as our new Offensive Coordinator. He has a wealth of lacrosse knowledge and experience as an educator in Southern Colorado, that provides us with a needed skill set,” Blair said. “His ability to enter our program and immediately begin to teach schemes, tactics, and emphasize skill development are all crucial aspects to student-athlete growth. Hayden’s experience and relationships as a Colorado resident, high school and club coach provide us with a leg up in terms of relationships established within the state. I am already impressed with Hayden’s eagerness to dive into film and gain an understanding of where we are currently, and intention of moving us into the right direction offensively.”
