Of these travel teams, he coached 4 national championships. Many of the players he tutored or coached on his teams, have gone on to have successful careers in professional baseball or used their talents to receive college scholarships.
Herrmann is the Director for West Coast Recruitment with Seminara Sports Agency of New York. He is also a year-round coach for Del Mar Powerhouse. During the summer months, he works with high school age baseball players on travel teams. He also works many baseball camps and tutors most levels for hitting and catching.
His greatest passion is as a volunteer coach with The Rock Academy Baseball Team, the Junior High and High School associated with The Rock Church in Point Loma. He also volunteers with the San Diego Coalition for the Homeless. He tries to surround himself daily with the things he loves, family, baseball and helping those less fortunate than him.
Herrmann is currently looking for athletes for his upcoming Golf tournament to be held at the Rock Church as part of the Christian Music Award festivities.
"This upcoming August 22nd, the Christian Music Awards are being held at the Rock Church. United One Productions which puts on the Awards Ceremony has a golf tournament to raise funds for their ministry called "Bringing Broken Neighborhoods Back to Life" (www.bbnbtl.com)" explains Herrmann.
"The Rock Church has been offered the opportunity to assist with this event. It will be a celebrity Golf Tournament with a mix of some CMA celebrities and athletes. The Golf Tournament will be on the August 20th (tee time and green fees TBA) at prestigious Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club in North San Diego County."
"It's my focus to get athletes to participate in the event, but I have no idea who the entertainers will be," explained Herrmann whose website can be found at www.edherrmann.com
To date Herrmann, former San Diego star pitcher, Randy Jones and three-time Pro Bowl defensive back, Willie Buchanon are amongst the participating athletes.
"We expect to have 1 or 2 athletes per foursome and will also be holding a silent auction. I'd love for athletes to contact me so we can make it a memorable event for all."
