A
little bit about me ...
My name is Mike Brusko. I'm your host
here at OldSchoolSportsParenting.com. Although this website is new
(launched in August 2006), the ideas in it -- and the idea for it -- go
back a lot of years. There's plenty to read and react to, so I
hope you won't spend too much time on this page. But if you
take a minute to browse through the biographical tidbits below,
you'll have a much better feel for what shaped my thinking.
