One of the main reasons new head softball coach Clint Myers made the move from Arizona State to Auburn was the opportunity to coach with his sons. He made part of that opportunity official on Friday by hiring his son Corey Myers as an assistant coach for the Tigers.
"Corey brings a great deal of excitement and energy to our program," Clint Myers said. "He is a very knowledgeable coach and a good teacher. One of the qualities he brings that I really like is that he is constantly looking for new ways to teach the game, to keep it fresh and exciting."
Corey has spent the past year as an assistant coach and director of player development for the Birmingham Thunderbolts 18 Gold softball team.
He also owned and operated the CM Baseball and Softball Academy in Chandler, Ariz. from 2009-2012, and served as a volunteer coach for Arizona State softball from 2007-2008, where he helped the Sun Devils to the 2008 NCAA championship.
In addition to Corey Myers, the Tigers also added Brittney Lindley, Brianna Smith, Brianna Hesson and Ryan Stefankiewiez as graduate assistant managers.
