In early 2003, Coach O'Leary joined the Southern New Hampshire lacrosse program. For two years he consecutively ran cross country and played lacrosse for Southern New Hampshire until 2004 when he dedicated all his time to the lacrosse program.
A two time captain of the lacrosse program at Southern New Hampshire Coach O'Leary started his first two seasons at midfield before moving to defense. He played in 36 out of 38 games over his first three seasons before being sidelined due to injury his last season in 2006. Coach O'Leary's class was the first to help the program reach the playoffs not only for the first time but 4 consecutive years in a row.
After graduating Southern New Hampshire with a Bachelors of Science and a Masters in Organizational Leadership he was asked to return to help coach. For two seasons Coach O'Leary ran the defense and the strength and conditioning for the program and aided in the teams NCAA Division 2 break through into the top 10. In addition to coaching at the collegiate level, Coach O'Leary was invited to two tryouts at the professional level with the opportunity to compete for a position on the Washington Bayhawks and Chicago Machine.

His goal is to show players that there are opportunities to play after high school and offers assistance and guidance for those looking to do so.
