Speaking of working hard, when Emmers isn't coaching his beloved baseball teams, he's a physical education teacher and athletic director at Appleton's St. Joseph Middle School. He coaches flag football as well as an eighth-grade basketball team. He does the scheduling for St. Joe's huge basketball program, consisting of 24 girls' and boys' teams in grades six through eight, as well as flag football, volleyball, cheerleading, track and softball. But a lot of times coaching kids is an adventure in itself. There are a lot of challenges - things that reinvigorate you.
Emmers is the envy of every kid who ever played sports.
