Providence College Podcast

In this episode of the Providence College Podcast, we are joined by Sam Lopes, women’s soccer coach, and graduate assistant and former player, Bridget Hillsman ’17. We take a deep dive into the post-concussion syndrome that stopped Hillsman’s collegiate soccer career before it formally began. Her symptoms nearly caused her to leave PC, but instead, Hillsman became a valuable member of the team. We also discuss the three pillars of Lopes’ coaching philosophy, how the coaching staff will approach preseason, and his thoughts on the 2017-18 season.
