Eric Zimmerman, head coach of the women’s soccer team, is in his third year coaching at Saint Mary’s University and second as Women’s head coach.
Zimmerman decided to coach here because he “really enjoyed the atmosphere at SMU and the campus.” Zimmerman said the best part about his job is “working with the players and watching them develop skills and as people.” For Zimmerman, it is exciting to consider what the players will become after their college careers at SMU.
Zimmerman also manages basketball for men and women and is in charge of workstudy students, making sure there is someone to work the camera, sell tickets and do other various tasks that must be done in time for the game to start.
Zimmerman is also interested in watching various other sports, including football, basketball and tennis. After listing all of the sports he liked, Zimmerman concluded, “I’m pretty much a sports nut!”
Zimmerman has been playing soccer since he was six years old. Every summer he played club soccer and continued to play in high school. He went on to play for Viterbo University.
