Dylan Fawsitt, USA Eagles
"Steve Lewis has always been a coach I look up to for new skills and new laws of the game. Not only does he know rugby, he is an amazing coach that makes learning from him fun and unique. I’ll always remember our West Point days back in the 2015/16 season where he helped me make the National team"
Nicole Heavirland - USA 15s & 7s
"When I started playing rugby in college I had no hopes for an Olympic dream. My freshman year, Coach Stevie saw something in me and gave me the skills, confidence, and exposure to make both the USA Rugby 7s program and the 7s World Cup in Cape Town after only 4 months on the team. I have now been on the HSBC World Series tour, won a gold medal at the Pan American Games, and will hopefully make the 2024 Paris Olympics. He understood me as a player and a person and I’m grateful to call him a coach and mentor."
Sammy Sullivan - USA 7s

He always has a great relationship with his players, getting the best out of them and epitomizes the competition and camaraderie rugby is all about"
