Live(ish) from the Little League World Series, it's SD assistant coach Brandon White! (Also Harrisburg HS head football coach)
Manage episode 501046156 series 3624102
Imagine playing for a world title with teammates you met just several weeks ago, in a sport you love, and in front of over 30,000 people mostly cheering against you and a global television audience in the millions.
Now, imagine doing that and you're 12 years old. And then imagine being a 39-year-old assistant coach and one of those kids — who just happened to belt a big hit in a 2-0 victory on Thursday — is your son.
Oh, by the way, you are a 15-year high school football head coach and your preseason No. 3-ranked team is 1,200 miles away, back home practicing without you.
Indeed, Harrisburg's Brandon White is jam-packed with thoughts, emotions, activities, game plans, and amazing experiences these last few days at the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania.
His team from Sioux Falls that is representing South Dakota and the entire Midwest Region was just about to take on Connecticut on Monday evening when White was kind enough to add Happy Hour to his cavalcade of Zoom calls.
Learn what White means when he calls the LLWS "Disneyworld for Baseball," and how his team was so clutch in that win over the "home" team from Pennsylvania a few days ago.
