As we continue our Season 2 exploration of how coaches from all over the sports world dealt with the COVID year, we turn to a unique circumstance. All of the other coaches we've talked to have long, established relationships with their athletes, but that wasn't the case of Brown University Quarterbacks Coach Heather Marini, who had just gotten her job right before the pandemic shut down the sport. Nicole Auerbach talks to Marini about navigating that transition to a fully virtual coaching schedule, how they dealt with the Ivy League cancelling the 2020 season completely, and what it means for her to be a woman coaching in Division 1 football.
