We launch our second season with a focus on how the Pandemic affected athletes and how they will fare into the future.  We invited back from our first season, Adam Perez, Director of Soccer at Asphalt Green, New York City to describe how he and his staff pivoted and thrived as one of the leading youth soccer programs in the nation.  

Join host Scott Lacaster, as he interviews Eric Scott, a High School and Collegiate All-American Lacrosse player from Basking Ridge NJ and Yale University, now a member of Premier Lacrosse League's team Chaos.

Listen as they discuss how Lacrosse players are changing the professional sports landscape. 

Key Topics Covered:

• Challanges of training during a Pandemic 
• The unique creative playing style and process of a Lacrosse player
• How not specializing in a particular sport during his youth, prepared Eric to balance life between a professional athlete and business executive
• How the Premier Lacrosse League Championship Series, a Two Week Quarantined  (w/no fans) Tournament July 25th - August 9th will replace the entire 2020 season

On this #TBT Throwback Thursday "Fixing the American Athlete” goes back to 2002 when Boomer Esiason and I co-hosted a radio show “Fair Play - How to Make Organized Sports a Great Experience for Your Kids” on SiriusXM where we interviewed 3 time Super Bowl Champion Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Bill Walsh.  Coach Walsh mentored me during my early years at the NFL, advising me on Player & Coaching Development. I truly received the equivalency of a Masters & Doctorate degree in coaching, management, creative thinking, and teaching from my time spent with Coach Walsh. Unfortunately he passed away in 2007.

This brief but information rich ten minute conversation between Coach Walsh, Boomer and me was one of many discussions we had that lead me to create the most successful grass root tackle football player & coaching development programs in the nation, NFL Junior Player & High School Player Development.  These programs produced notable NFL Star Players including Carolina Panthers Quarterback, Cam Newton.

I’ll always remember Coach Walsh as a generous and gracious man that gave me the valuable commodity of his time for thoughtful discussions. Conversations that focused  not only on football, coaching, and teaching, but more importantly about living a life always in pursuit of knowledge and a better way of doing things.  For that I’ll always be grateful and will use Bill’s wisdom as I continue to develop and search for programs that better develop athletes and coaches.
