Ryan Robinson recently completed his first season as head coach of the Elizabeth High School baseball team. It was a year of New Beginnings that actually started last fall when the team, their families and community members came together to upgrade the home ballfield. It continued into the spring season with improvements to the dugouts.

That commitment to the program led to big strides on the field as well: The Cardinals doubled their win total from last year and cut their earned run average in half.

Summer Katzoff has been coaching sports for more than two decades, including the last 11 as the head coach of girls soccer at Elizabeth High School. She’s also a co-sponsor of student council and, of course, a teacher. If that weren’t enough, last fall she added girls flag football coach to her resume.

It took until the end of the school year to find a free moment or two with her to chat about her teams and her approach to helping student athletes build skill and confidence, but this interview was worth the wait.

As Rebecca Miller and the returning members of her 19-7 Elizabeth High School softball team prepare for their 2024 season, we’re taking a few moments to look back at her first year as the head coach.

After serving as an assistant coach for the previous several years at the high school level, plus coaching wave after wave of middle school softball players, Coach Miller finds herself at the center of a powerhouse program that has been successful for the better part of a decade. How does she maintain those high standards and plan to exceed them? That’s part of why we had this wide-ranging conversation.
