Today’s “Lessons from 2017” Coach and Coordinator podcast guest is Rocori (Cold Spring, Minnesota) High School coach Mike Rowe, who led the Spartans to state semifinal berths in 2015 and ’16, and a 10-1 quarterfinals campaign this year. Rowe tells host Keith Grabowski how a season-ending loss led to a re-evaluation, how technology aids game preparation and how proper training makes the game safer.
