I have had a professional relationship with coach Anelundi for over 22 years. During those years I have seen numerous positive relationships develop between Eddie and his students. Mr. Anelundi will not admit it but I can tell you that he has received invitations to weddings of his former students, he also continues to receive notes and cards from many prior students. Clearly his former students, as well as the many recent students who have taken the time to reply to this article, have very favorable thoughts and opinions of Coach Anelundi. I feel badly for educators and coaches that put their time and dedication into their craft, only to have their efforts and hard work shot down in a public format by a disgruntled parent.
Many people do not know that Eddie Anelundi once coached a student that reach Wimbledon. That student was defeated by Martina Navratilova. His efforts are to create a better player and to help a young person to grow to be a success in life. Regardless of whether a student is in the classroom or involved in a school activity; the simple fact is that there will always be some parent that would prefer to have a babysitter care for their child rather than an adult to help better their child. It is easy to simply coddle a student, but we all benefit as a society from an adult who takes the time and effort to teach a young person to become a better student or athlete.
