Teaching Triumph: Matt Duffy on Sport, Life, and Survival
Description
In this episode of Taking Healthcare by Storm, Quality Insights Medical Director Dr. Jean Storm speaks with Matt Duffy, a teacher, coach, athlete, and cardiac arrest survivor.
Matt shares how he collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest during an October 2025 scrimmage and survived because teammates quickly used CPR and an on-site AED. He describes hurling, reflects on how the experience reinforced his priorities in coaching and mentorship, and urges broader CPR/AED readiness and advocacy for heart disease screening even when there are no warning signs.
