I first saw this back in mid-December on Twitter. The subject, Alex, is a rower on the men’s club team at Michigan and in the video he talks about finding inclusivity within the team and fighting against the idea that gay men don’t like sports, aren’t/can’t be good at them, etc. The assistant coach he mentions is Charley Sullivan, who I think coaches at Deerfield now. He wrote this article four or five years ago for Outsports, the same site that posted the video on Alex, talking about how being openly gay has made him a better coach. It’s worth a read when you’ve got some time.
