S2 E8. Acorns Don't Fall Far From the Tree; DIII COYs Steve Koudelka & Brandon Childs, Part II.

In this second installment, of our three part interview series, with two DIII Coaches of the Year, Steve Koudelka and Brandon Childs, we get into brass tacks regarding college lacrosse recruiting. 

Coach Koudelka describes how his opinions were formed over many years by lacrosse greats such as Dom Starsia and Dave Urick. He also elaborates by describing a key age for players to really hone their skills and it's probably not the age you'd imagine. 

Of course, Coach Childs reveals his secret sauce but also goes onto describe what it is about Coach Koudelka that has not only made him successful but how he has imparted that knowledge to former players and assistant coaches which has resulted in what many have described as the most impressive coaching tree in DIII lacrosse. 

These two also give us a peek behind the curtain so to speak as they give us some insight into what college coaches do for fun and how their competitive juices flow even when they're not on the job.
