Danny Mackey is the founding coach of the Brooks Beasts TC. He has coached this colorful squad since 2013. We asked Danny to speak with us about the nature of coaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has been a challenging time for all.

The nature of coaching is such that a strong relationship with the athlete is key. Danny Mackey was speaking with his athletes via phone, texting, email in the opening couple months of the pandemic.

Special thanks to Mike Deering on managing and producing the video. Special thanks to Danny Mackey.
