Discussion with David Fish, Harvard Coach and UTR Advocate

Coach Steve Clark PhD Show

Hello everyone, welcome to The Coach Steve Clark PhD Show. Thanks for joining me and I hope you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation. Today I have as my guest a very long time friend and coaching colleague who has been a great voice for NCAA tennis and AMERICAN tennis at large, Dave Fish of Harvard Men’s Tennis. Dave is at his 39th year as the Head coach at Harvard. He was a1972 graduate of Harvard, played on 3 national championship squash teams and one Ivy Champion tennis team with the Crimson. Dave has had an impressive 626-284-1 overall record for a .688 percentage making him the winningest men's tennis coach in Harvard history. He guided Harvard into the NCAA Championships 22 times so far. He has tutored 15 All-Americans including James Blake (singles and doubles) Now achievements aside, Dave will be the first to tell you that more important is the character and integrity of a person. Dave is a great friend on both counts. He is more interested in the development of tennis than the focus being on him so, with that lets get into some topics for our young players, parents, and coaches regarding the NCAA, USTA, the UTR and more.
