Mackie is a school psychologist who interned in a local middle school & elementary school and is now, sadly, leaving us to work in Florida. In Part 1 he helps point out differences between his profession and school counselors as well as getting into some common issues kids are facing today. Mackie shares how different coaching soccer compared to working with kids in a more serious setting is but also how connection and equal respect in both are equally important. See you back next week for Part 2. We look forward to hanging with you all every Monday at 2:00pm EST!
