Local baseball coaching legend to retire
Posted: at 1:26 am
SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- The man behind one of South Florida's most well respected youth baseball programs is set to retire.
Red Berry, the South Florida baseball staple, has decided to retire after managing Red Berry's Baseball World for 46 years.
Berry's career began with a love of the game and a vision. "I've always ate, drank and slept baseball," he said. "I worked 25 years out of the trunk of my car, leasing facilities and traveling around like a vagabond, and I always dreamt about this. God made it come true."
That dream saw Berry coach in three college world series, helping lead the Miami Hurricanes to a national championship in 1985 as their pitching coach. "His love for the game, his love of God, the way he shares his values, the way he relates baseball to real life is special," said coach Otto Williams.
But what he considers his greatest accomplishment is the 46 years spent teaching thousands of kids and their parents about more than just hits and runs. "Family values-- it's not just baseball, it's not just winning. It's about helping the child develop how to learn how to win, how to lose, how to become friends with people and how to develop better character," said parent Todd Botner.
Players past and present have a lot to be thankful for since learning under Berry. "It changed my life completely, complete 180," said former player Manny Negrin. "He taught us about life values, how to respect by trying hard in life in general. It was great."
"He makes it fun because he talks to us, and he like, pitches to us," said player Don Darcangelo. "It's sad because I won't see him."
The great run in South Florida baseball is now coming to an end after Berry announced this season will be his last. "I'm shocked," said parent Angie Toffoli. "When I got the letter Saturday, I cried."
Many others feel the same way about Berry. "I was devastated. I've know Red since I was in high school here in Miami and his passion for baseball here," said Richard Rump. "Now I have my grandson here, and I find out he's closing the place and my grandson loves it here, and I was just totally devastated."
Parents broke the news to their young baseball players that Baseball World would be no more. "He cried for two hours," said parent Janette Rizo. "And he went back to coach Berry to ask him why, and then he told this is the best place to play baseball."
There's no doubt about it, Red Berry's retirement will leave a void in South Florida youth baseball. "It's time to move on and see what the Lord has for me," said Berry. "I'm real proud of the generation of youngsters, the many generations that have come through Baseball World, and they've made me better too. I'm still throwing 12 innings a week. That's not bad for a 39-year-old guy."
Berry's last day will be March 31. Red Berry's Baseball World property will be sold to the church next door to be turned into a youth center.

Local baseball coaching legend to retire
Coaching couple learn about love, life and basketball side-by-side
Posted: at 1:26 am
MEG WOCHNICK STAFF WRITER • Published January 30, 2012 Modified January 30, 2012
OLYMPIA – Like any husband and wife who are in the same profession, Mychael and Monica Heuer understand each other’s triumphs and struggles.
Not much needs to be said when one arrives home late after a loss; stats and facial expressions tell the story of a game and a sport they’ve coached for 20-plus years. Yet, a victory can spark a mutual excitement for the other one’s success.
But once they arrive at their home on Olympia’s west side, they set aside their titles as head women’s college basketball coaches – Monica at The Evergreen State College and Mychael at South Puget Sound Community College. They’re simply husband and wife, and dad and mom to their 7-year-old son, Alex.
“We have to make sure we’re a family first,” Mychael Heuer said.
Basketball isn’t a 24-hour-a-day subject with the Heuers, but it is part of their daily lives – consummated when Mychael proposed to his wife in 1993 at a high school girls basketball game in California where they were coaching against each other.
“My team knew, but I didn’t know (about the proposal),” Monica recalled. “I thought, ‘Oh, great, everybody came to this game today.’ ”
CHALLENGES AND SUCCESS
Up until two years ago, Monica, 43, and Mychael, 44, were the wife-and-husband coaching tandem for the Evergreen women’s program, serving as head coach and associate head coach, respectively, for eight seasons. They’ve coached side-by-side for almost all of their 17 years of marriage. They still work on Evergreen’s campus where Monica is the assistant athletic director and Mychael is the acting director of the college’s career development center.
Both grew up playing basketball - Mychael at El Cerrito High School in Oakland, Calif., against future NBA superstar Gary Payton, and Monica at Redwood Christian in nearby Castro Valley, and later as a four-year player at Cal State Hayward (now Cal State East Bay).
Their paths first crossed in Sacramento during a summer 3-on-3 national high school basketball tournament. A player each coached separately introduced them in 1992. They were married two years later.
Not long after, they both took to the college ranks.
Dave Weber, the former Evergreen athletic director (2000-10), coached against Mychael and Monica in high school. And when Weber was hired as the AD and men’s coach at nearby Patten College (now Patten University), he hired the Heuers to start a women’s team from scratch in 1995.
Monica was there for two seasons before being lured to San Jose State and San Francisco as an assistant for an NCAA Division I program. Soon after, Mychael took over as Patten’s coach, leading that school to a 21-11 record in 1999-2000, and one victory away from making it to the NAIA national tournament.
A year after Weber headed north to take the AD position at Evergreen in 2000, he hired both Heuers to coach the Geoducks’ women in basketball.
“I definitely wanted someone who could do it, and they could do it,” Weber said. “They did a terrific job down there.”
The challenge of being a husband-and-wife coaching tandem wasn’t their only obstacle early on in their careers.
While at Patten, the Heuers were still newlyweds. They were learning how to be married, in addition to coaching an NAIA women’s basketball team in its first year of existence, as well as trying to make it all work with 8-to-5 jobs. And in Mychael’s case, he also was going to school.
“You have to figure all of that out at one time,” Monica said. “Moving forward to coming here (to Evergreen), we had figured out some things. It wasn’t perfect; it was still challenging.”
SIDE-BY-SIDE COACHING
In the Heuers’ eight years together on the bench at Evergreen (2002-10), the Geoducks’ best season came in 2004-05 when the program posted its best record in the 15-year history of the program at 16-14 overall, 10-8 in the Cascade Collegiate Conference.
Mychael calls the first few seasons a “learning process,” learning to be an assistant under his wife. By the end of their tenure together, “they worked really well together”, Evergreen forward Danielle Swain said.
There were trying times for the Heuers off the court.
Their second season in 2003-04 was especially difficult. After a kitchen fire they temporarily moved in with friends. Mychael’s father died. Monica’s mother was diagnosed with cancer.
And in April 2004, the couple became parents when Alex was born.
“We strengthened our relationship since coming here,” Mychael said. “We really relied on each other to make it through that tough time. How you focus on basketball goes back to getting in that zone. That’s our comfort zone.”
JUGGLING LIFE, JOBS
Now, the two run their own separate college programs.
In 2010, Mychael was hired to coach at SPSCC, only to see the program forfeit its final 10 games when roster numbers dwindled to dangerous proportions because of injuries and eligibility issues. This season, the Clippers are playing a full NWAACC West Division schedule of games – with moderate success (3-13 overall record).
Evergreen just returned from weekend games at College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon, both losses. The Geoducks are 4-18, and trail Southern Oregon by a game to get into the conference tournament in three weeks.
It is that time of year. Weekends are a scheduling grind. Weeknights are not much better with practices and sometimes SPSCC games.
And when one parent does have free time, it usually means getting Alex off to practice – in soccer, not basketball.
“I never thought I’d be a soccer mom … in the rain,” Monica said. “I know he’ll come around.”
The Heuers have succeeded in finding the right balance among basketball, personal relationships, their careers and family.
“You don’t go through 17 years of marriage without bumps and tribulations, but we’ve survived it,” Mychael said. “It’s nice to have somebody to share the understanding of what you’re going through and being able to have your spouse be able to also love what you do.”

Coaches Worldwide Celebrate International Coaching Week 5th-11th February 2012
Posted: at 1:26 am
The phenomenal growth of the business and life coaching industry worldwide is being celebrated during International Coaching Week, 5th-11th February 2012, with the release of the ICF Global Coaching Study.
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 30 January 2012
The International Coach Federation (ICF) commissioned from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) a survey of the coaching industry based on 12,000 respondents from 117 countries. It followed the first survey in 2007 when 5,415 respondents from 76 countries gave an insight into the coaching industry, in one of the largest pieces of research at that time.
“The findings from the new survey will prove especially useful in highlighting the growth in coaching, and uncovering the trends that have emerged over the past five years,” says Hilary Oliver, President of the UK-ICF.
“The aim of International Coaching Week is to enable coaches to promote the value of working with a professional, and to encourage the public to make contact with them. It’s also an opportunity for coaches to give something to the community and work pro-bono for groups or individuals they don’t normally work with.”
Coaching is increasingly regarded as a key part of an individual’s learning and development, and many companies consider it crucial to their performance.
“Anyone looking for a coach should first of all identify their own objectives in working with a coach,” advises Hilary. “The coach’s role is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has. Our website is a useful starting point as it lists accredited coaches in the UK, and provides information on the coaching process.”
The ICF is the largest worldwide resource for professional coaches and the source for those who are seeking a coach. For more information on finding a coach in the UK see http://www.coachfederation.org.uk
