Petal Sports Association is deeply saddened by the loss of long-time coach and program supporter, Brad Pickett. Brad lost his eight-month battle with cancer last week. PSA was honored to have Brad coach numerous teams over the years beginning in 2014. He also coached many years prior to that with other originations and was a trusted advisor when PSA, PYSA and Optimist merged. Brad’s philosophy was, “Every kid deserves a chance to play.” As a coach, Brad was revered, not only by his players, but by other coaches and parents as well because he was the kind of coach that was a mentor to those he coached teaching that, learning the fundamentals of the game, are just as important as getting the win. In short, Brad changed lives, and words cannot express how deeply he will be missed. Please keep Brad’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers in the many weeks to come.
