LEESBURG - Since becoming the University of Floridas head baseball coach in 2001, Pat McMahon has not only reached a personal milestone of 450 Division I wins, but has also led the Gators into five consecutive NCAA regional competitions. The fact that he fashioned his squad by emphasizing the traits of hard work, loyalty, enthusiasm, academic dedication and commitment to excellence makes him the perfect guest speaker for Lake-Sumter Community Colleges Sports Leadership Program on February 28. Held in the Leesburg Campus Magnolia Room, the buffet lunch program will start at 12 noon. Doors open at 11:30 am and the luncheon should conclude by 1 pm.

A featured speaker at the National Baseball Coaches Association Convention, Coach McMahon serves on several NCAA committees and is a great inspirational and motivational speaker, says LSCC Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach Mike Matulia. It will be worth your time to hear his message and support our athletic program.
