Listen Later

In episode 8 of Coaching Crossover we feature Ed Comeau, head coach of the Georgia Swarm of the National Lacrosse League and Stubby Clapp, first base coach for the St Louis Cardinals in Major League Baseball.

Ed Comeau is a Hamilton, Ontario native who started coaching with the Toronto Rock under legendary coach Les Bartley. He then went on to win the Les Bartley Coach Award in 2017. Comeau won four Champions Cups with the Rock and has captured two at the helm of the Storm and is one of only four coaches in NLL history with 100+ wins. He has also served as the General Manager of Canada's Men's Indoor Lacrosse Team and been head coach for the Gold Medal winning Canadian team at the 2015 World Indoor Lacross Championships. Comeau was most recently named to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2024.

Stubby Clapp played in the Major Leagues with the Cardinals and then went back into baseball as a coach, starting in A-Ball and working his way back to the Majors. He was 2017 and 2018 Manager of the Year with the Cardinals AAA team in Memphis and is a staple in Canadian baseball history, having represented Canada as a player in the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics, the 2006 World Baseball Classic and, most famously, in the 1999 Pan-Am Games where his single with the bases loaded helped Canada beat a heavily-favoured US team. He also served as a base coach for Canada's World Baseball Classic team this past March.

We discuss representing your country on a global level, the grind of a season for a coach and how each coach would like to see their sport improve.
