The 9th Annual Mack Brady Memorial Clinic was a great success! Elizabeth, Izzy, and I cannot thank our panelists enough for their gracious gift of time and their wonderful humor and candor in sharing about their journeys through youth soccer (play more than one sport!), tips about training at home, […]
Over on MackBrady.com I have started a history on the clinic created in memory of our son Mack. New Year’s Eve was the 6th anniversary of Mack’s death (his Jahrzeit) and Sunday will be the 7th Annual Memorial Mack Brady Soccer Clinic. From the very beginning the Penn State Men’s […]
