On this episode of Coach and Coordinator, presented by Modern Football Technology, Keith Grabowski sits down with Mike Bruno, Defensive Coordinator at Presbyterian College, to explore how modern tools reshape coaching workflows. Bruno shares how integrating data and technology within daily operations, from practice grading to film analysis, can dramatically improve efficiency, decision-making, and athlete development.
