Michael Leonard coachedElon’s men’s tennis team (2007) to its first Southern Conference tournament championship for any sport.The team finished 23–2 and played in the NCAA playoffs.
Michael gives me a lot of credit for his playing success. More than
I deserve. He gushes about how much I helped him, but I really only
taught him two major things: Hit it up enough on your serve and learn a
one-handed underspin ball. “Yeah coach,” says new coach Michael, “but
you don’t know how much those two changes helped. I was strictly
two-handed, but now my slice is my bread and butter.”
