Fenter to join the Kohawks!

Kohawk Tennis welcomes a new face to the coaching staff!  Coach Rodgers and I are excited to add Brad's talent to the mix; he possesses a wealth of playing and practical experience in the liberal arts setting.  Brad's academic profile, and on court success (doubles All American), stands for itself.  I personally am excited to have a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist in the Racquet Center also.  Complete bio for Brad Fenter below.  

Brad Fenter joined the Coe College coaching staff in the Fall of 2012.  Fenter began his tennis career in his hometown of Vernon, Texas, where he won a State Championship in Mixed Doubles.  Fenter then attended college, and played for the Patriots, at the University of Texas at Tyler.  While at UT Tyler, Fenter was a four year letterman during some of the most successful years in program history.

Starting in 2008, Fenter would be a part of three consecutive Southwest Conference Championships, which each culminated in NCAA tournament appearances.  During this time, the Patriots would twice advance to the Sweet 16.  In the fall of 2009, Fenter was the ITA Southwest Region doubles champion along with partner, Nick Kreines.  At the end of the 2009-10 school year, Fenter was named an All-American in doubles. 

Fenter was also a standout in the classroom.  He was a three-time student athlete of the year finalist from 2008 to 2010 and was inducted into the prestigious Chi Alpha Sigma athlete honor society in the Spring of 2010.  Fenter graduated magna cum laude in May 2010 with a degree in Kinesiology and began work on his Master’s degree in the Fall of 2010.  Fenter expects to complete, and be awarded his Master’s in the Fall of 2012.

For the past two years, Fenter has been an Assistant Coach for both the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Tyler.  During his time as an assistant, the men and women each captured consecutive Conference Championships.

Fenter is also certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA).
