It’s Hooray for Coaches Day on myFM! We are profiling Cory Brooks.
Cory played soft ball in Napanee growing up, then for the love of the game, immediately began coaching when his time as a player came to an end.
As a parent with kids who also play into sports, he says it can sometimes be difficult attending everyone’s games or activities. But lucky for him both of his sons played on the same team this year.
At the time of our interview Cory was still enjoying the excitement of the resent win by the Napanee Express at the U20 Canadian Men’s Fast Pitch Championships, where they won on home soil. At the time he was also sitting in Montreal with his daughter and the U15 Express girls’ team, who would go on and win Eastern Canadian Gold.
When asked for advice for others interested in coaching, he said to be ready to teach in different styles, as not every player learns the same way.
