The Minnesota Vikings name Forest Lake’s Brad Beeskow their fourth High School Coach of the Week.
Below is a snippet from the Vikings website about Coach Beeskow:
Brad Beeskow, an Andover, MN native, is in his first season as the head coach at Forest Lake High School. Prior to joining the Rangers, Beeskow played college football at St. Cloud State University and the University of Wisconsin – River Falls. He began his coaching career at the collegiate level as a graduate assistant at Augsburg University where he coached wide receivers. After 4 years of coaching college ball, Beeskow joined the high school staff at the Academy of Holy Angels where he was the offensive coordinator for three seasons.
Beeskow coaches because he loves the connections and life lessons that the game of football has taught him, and he strives to be able to create the same experience and passion for his players. “There is nothing better than helping our players reach their full potential and seeing the community and administrative support that goes along with that. The relationships created through sports are incredibly important and special and I am blessed to have the opportunity to coach the great young athletes we have in our program at Forest Lake.”
Minnesota Vikings
After each week of games during the high school football season, the Vikings honor a high school coach of the week. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized in local media for the achievement, the school’s football program receives a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.
