Matt Eberflus knew precisely what he was doing.
Few things motivate players better than earning a nickname from the head coach. Eberflus is correct. The mako shark is the fastest in the ocean, clocking speeds up to 46 mph. That isn’t all. They’re also considered one of the smartest of their species, known for their rapid ability to learn. Lastly, they have a reputation for being aggressive hunters. That couldn’t sum up Brisker better if you tried. He’s fast, aggressive, and intelligent. There are times he looks like a shark out there. The nickname is excellent.
No no no, I'm Mark the Shark. Been my nickname since forever. Mako is awfully close to Marko, which is another nickname for a guy named Mark (or Marco for Marc?). Anyway, I'm the Mako Shark, my wife is a Nurse Shark, and any cat using my nickname is a false shark. It's true, google false shark.
