He gave every athlete valuable feedback…

and he stayed late in the freezing cold so these guys will have their best shot at a great season.

Brad posed for photos, signed shoes, pole bags, and the pit, and even spent time with Rick from Stromboli’s (who delivered their oh, so excellent pizza).

Thank you Coach Jose for following the inspiration to invite Brad, and thank you Brad Walker for making it a memorable weekend! These young athletes are grateful to call you Teacher.
