UGA Tennis Team Recruiting Goals

Will Glen, Assistant Head Coach for UGA Tennis Team

Will Glen, Assistant Head Coach for the University of Georgia’s Tennis Team, tells a journalism class at UGA that the team recruits students with talent, character, and work ethic.

Glenn said that summer was a big recruiting season for UGA.  They look for players at the top of the United States Tennis Association.

“We watch a lot of matches. Long days just watching matches. Cause you need to see them lose matches and win matches” said Glenn.

Glenn said the team looks for players who have the skill, but also the character for the game.  Glenn said the coaches spend time with current UGA Tennis players working on poise and control during the matches.

Glenn said the team also wants players who can balance academics with the sport because it shows work ethic. He said we “watch them and see who handles stress the best” because “that’s part of the talent.”
