The Long Game – Chuck Kriese, Citadel Men’s Tennis [Coaches Podcast]

Chuck Kriese spent 33 years at Clemson University before retiring in 2008. He became the winningest coach in ACC history, piling up 685 victories, 10 conference titles, and a legacy that produced All-Americans, national players of the year, and future ATP standouts. A former US National Coach and the author of four influential tennis books, Chuck has shaped how generations of coaches think about development, leadership, and building programs that last.

In 2013, Chuck surprised many by returning to college coaching at The Citadel, driven by the same passion for teaching and growth that defined his career. In this conversation, we dig into the philosophies that stood the test of time, the traits of players who truly maximized their potential, and what Chuck believes the college game must get right for the next generation.
