Ed’s father had a successful coaching career, including three state championships at Fitch High School, before becoming an assistant coach at Avery Point.

How hard he pushed his son. One day the coach reprimanded Matt for a mistake on the field. That prompted the team’s catcher to say, “Boy, Coach, you get on him a lot.”

However, Ed reevaluated his methods and realized how hard he pushed his son.

When the coach reprimanded Matt during a game, leading a team’s catcher to say, “Boy, Coach, you get on him a lot.”

This prompted Ed to change his approach and allow Matt more freedom on the field, recognizing that mistakes are part of the learning process.
