I was one of the captains of the team this year, and I also want to speak on behalf of Eddie. I have been on the tennis team since sophomore year (I'm a senior now) and I love Eddie and think that he's a great coach. His main goal is to make sure that we improve, not only during the season, but during the off-season too. He always says that if he could train us during the winter and the spring, he would do it in a heartbeat. It's so obvious that he loves the sport and the team so much. Why else would he still be coaching after all these years?

Off the court, Eddie has a great sense of humor and jokes around with the team. We love Eddie, because it's so clear that he cares so much about all of us. Every year, he even treats the team to a dinner at Chili's, and we have a blast. He always seeks to find time to bond with the team. He's an amazing coach, and I couldn't have asked for a better time during my three years on the high school tennis team.
