Behind the Back Lax Behind the Back Lax

Welcome back to another special interview. Happy to be sitting down (virtually) with an old teammate and absolute stud in the college ranks -- Brett Makar of the University of Maryland. Brett talks about what this past season was like, as the Terps executed a perfect 18-0 season, complete with a National title -- establishing themselves as one of the best teams of all time. 

He also talks about the celebration afterward, Team USA tryouts, his own personal achievements this past season and his mindset that helped toward that success, the use of analytics, the toughest opponent he's had to guard, playing with the last two Tewaaraton winners (how they're different and the same.) and some other fun questions as he reflects on what's been a "hectic" last few weeks for the First Team All-American. 

I hope you enjoy!

Here is the 4th and Final episode of the COVID vs Sports series I've been doing.  Today we'll continue off of our conversation in Episode 3, and wrap up the topic as a whole. I hope you've enjoyed this different perspective of covering sports because there is more than just Lacrosse out there!

I'll see you next time once the PLL has its season figured out. 

Thank You!

This time, in what will be a 2-Part Episode discussing Pro Sports, and then the future of it all -- we talk about what the impact/value of Sports are...what the leagues trying to come back means, what we lost from the NBA and the NHL, as well as where the NFL will take it from here. 

Tune into the 4th episode next time to bring the topic full circle with us... and also finish with us the 4-Part Series that has been: COVID-19 vs Sports.

Hope you enjoy!
