3-time NCAA All-American and current Fresno State head men's tennis coach Luke Shields joins the podcast to share his unique junior tennis story, how he defines "toughness", what he does to work towards mastering the craft of coaching and much more!
The older brother of Arizona head men's tennis coach and podcast Episode #32 guest Clancy Shields, Luke was one of the top recruits in the country as a junior player and even had some experience competing at a professional level as a teenager. He played his college tennis at Boise State University where he was a 3-time All-American and achieved a top 5 national ranking in both singles and doubles at different points during his career. After years of experience as a Division I assistant coach, Luke accepted the head men's tennis coaching position at Fresno State where he is currently in his fourth season.
Selflessness, confidence, consistency and the constant quest for improvement are some of Luke's shining qualities that make him not only an exceptional coach but an exceptional person as well. I hope you enjoy this interview and can take some things out of it that you can use to help you improve your tennis game right away!
