Jack McFarland | PrepZone Podcast | Episode #71
Staples Baseball Head Coach Jack McFarland joins the PrepZone Podcast to talk about what’s shaping this year’s team and what’s changing across high school sports.

He shares how culture is built day-to-day, and why leadership from within the locker room matters as much as anything a coach can do.
