Sometimes it’s easy to forget that prominent coaches and athletes are people like all of us, who have to deal with all the elements of life, including the death of a parent. I have great respect for Cory Close for “doing what her father would have wanted” under difficult circumstances, by successfully leading the US team to a championship.
