Episode 117: Erin Matson

Field hockey superstar Erin Matson joins Laughter Permitted to talk about what it was like winning a national championship in her first year as head coach at her alma mater, the University of North Carolina, and how she had the confidence to pursue the job directly out of college. At 23 years old, Erin became the youngest Division 1 head coach to ever win a national championship, and she shares how she approached coaching players she called teammates the previous season. Find out how Erin went about applying for the head coaching job and what she said in her first team meeting. Plus, learn about Erin's sideline style and why she rocked socks with the number "23" on them. In Questions Permitted, Lynn reads a listener email that gives a definitive answer to the highly debated question: Does a straw have one hole or two?
