Leading Your Team Through Uncertain Times

The COVID-19 crisis has reached seemingly every walk of life. For sports, especially those played in spring and summer at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels, the abrupt end to a season (and career for some) has led to coaches searching for answers. What do I tell my players? There is no blueprint for this, how am I supposed to handle it? I discussed these topics with a good friend of mine and a rising star in the DI collegiate baseball ranks - Justin Hill of McNeese State. Justin has led his team to the NCAA Tournament multiple times, but he, like all other coaches, are dealing with something unprecedented.
