A Thousand Little Jobs
Tuesday, 23 June, 2026
This episode is a practical, on-the-ground conversation about what it actually takes to run a college tennis program. With Johann Frühling reflecting on his experience as a first-time graduate assistant coach at St. Leo, and Pol O'Callaghan preparing to step into a coaching role at Ave Maria University, Steve walks through the thousand tasks a young coach must master, from scheduling and uniforms to fundraising, record keeping, academic compliance, and building relationships with support staff.The conversation is as much about culture and character as it is about logistics, with Steve drawing on stories from Brian Boland's Virginia program, the Jesuit philosophy of giving back, and the importance of peer teaching and community outreach to paint a picture of what a truly great college tennis program looks like from the inside out.
