S1 E7. Traversing the Labyrinth: John De Tommaso & Brad McLam, Part I

04/26/23 • 40 min

In this first portion, of our next three part series, we learn how the Johns Hopkins teams of the mid 1980s, with arguably the greatest defense known to Division 1 Men's Lacrosse, achieved greatness, winning two national titles with three finals appearances, and four final fours spanning the careers of our guests from 1983-1986.
Both players have been recognized as All Americans, national champions, and hall of famers, as well as youth, high school, college, and professional coaches.
We start off hearing of our guest's humble beginnings as High School multi sport athletes growing up on Long Island, and then progress to when these two freshman roommates met for the first time and how they have continued to be the best of friends ever since. And yes, we'll discover they've stayed not only connected to each other but connected to the sport of lacrosse, with their friends, with their families, and with just about anyone who shows an interest.
Enjoy the pure positive energy emanating from these two highly accomplished, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic lacrosse legends.
