Thank you for your support. Two-and-a-half years ago, I traveled to Israel with the U.S. men’s national team to tell the story of its inspiring run to a gold medal. No one knew that would be the outcome, of course, when we set out on an 11-hour flight from New York to Tel Aviv. I consider it one of the great privileges of my 16-year career at US Lacrosse not because the U.S. won, but because I had the opportunity to see up close how the winningest coach in NCAA Division I history operates.
