He went on to help coach at his alma mater, Easton Area High School, and was named the youngest head coach in NCAA history at Eastern University from 2000-2003. Taranto has focused on youth lacrosse since marrying & becoming a dad at local teams in the Easton area and joined HEADstrong to coach in 2023.

Why HEADstrong? HEADstrong allows me to use lacrosse to teach our players how to be good teammates, stout opponents, and to learn & grow into becoming good human beings who also happen to become good lacrosse players along the way. I enjoy seeing our players get better every time we suit up. Cancer has affected my family as my dad has beaten the disease twice, and I love honoring Nick’s mission of helping people and families affected by the disease every time I take the sideline.
