Podcast appearances and mentions of Sean Woods

Around this time every year, dozens of parents of high school prospects ask IL's Terry Foy some version of the question, "How does recruiting work?" In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with York head coach Brandon Childs. The first DIII coach Foy has brought on for this series (though Dan Kaplan has previously spoken to Amherst's Sean Woods and Dickinson's Dave Webster on the topic), Childs says he wears four hats in the recruiting space: college coach, club coach, dad and fan. They hit on all four topics, illustrating not just what makes Division III distinct from DI, but his broarder views on the topic.
