Brian Schneider is a former Division I lacrosse coach and the author of the bestselling Tyrannosaurus Lax! children’s book series — educational lacrosse books designed specifically for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary readers.
After 11 years coaching at Yale University, Columbia University, and Brown University — and playing four years as a collegiate goalie at Hofstra University — Brian saw first hand how powerful sports can be in building confidence, teamwork, and character. But he also noticed something missing: age-appropriate lacrosse books for the youngest fans of the game.
That’s why he created Tyrannosaurus Lax! — a fun, dinosaur-led introduction to lacrosse that teaches basic terminology, ABCs, vocabulary, and early literacy skills in an engaging and colorful format.
Whether families are raising future athletes or simply looking for sports-themed educational books for toddlers, Brian’s mission is simple: make lacrosse fun, accessible, and easy to learn from the very first page.
