byLarry EderDanny Mackey is a coach who undestands that coaching is both art and science. Mackey has been the coach of Brooks Beasts since its founding in 2013. Danny is an absolutely fun interview.
We have spoken with Danny Mackey on several occasions, and each time we learn something new. Mackey, like most successful coaches, knows that he will continue to learn from his experiences, and that coaching is about evolution.
Danny Mackey is a positivist. He is close with his athletes and is enduring COVID-19 like the rest of us.
One day at a time,and he has the knowledge that his sponsor, Brooks, gives him the room to succeed with his athletes.
It was a well spent 40 minutes.
Thanks to Danny Mackey, and thanks to Mike Deering / The Shoe Addicts on the production.
