Bonnie Zimmermann ’00 Named Record’s Girls Tennis Coach of the Year

BONNIE ZIMMERMANN ’00, who recently led the Glen Rock High School girls tennis team to the North 1, Group 1
crown, the team’s first sectional title since 2000, was named girls tennis Coach of the Year by The Record newspaper.

“I like to get to know my players and find out what motivates them,” Zimmermann told the Record. “Some need you to help them get pumped up and others, they have to stay calm.” She told the paper she encourages her team to work hard. “I’m always telling the girls, ‘Play your best and have a good time. Play to win but don’t judge yourself on the outcome.’”

Zimmermann, who earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise and movement science at William Paterson after a previous career in business, has taught physical education and health at the high school since 2000.
