December 05, 2019 | Women's Tennis, Features
Jake De Vries, who has experience coaching at both the professional and collegiate levels, has been named the new USC women's tennis volunteer assistant coach, Trojan head coach Alison Swain announced today (Dec. 5).
"I am thrilled to have Jake joining our coaching team," said Swain. "He brings excellent experience from UNC and the pro tour with coaching women's tennis. I am confident his playing and coaching background will translate to his work on court with our team in our season ahead."
De Vries arrives at Troy after spending the 2018-19 season as the Graduate Student Manager with the North Carolina women's tennis team. The Tarheels finished third in the country last season with five players ranked in singles (four in the top 21) and two doubles pairs nationally ranked. De Vries led the team's video reviews, charting and tracked match-by-match statistics.
De Vries also currently coaches professional tennis player Hayley Carter. Carter, an NCAA All-American from North Carolina, has won one WTA doubles title, three ITF doubles titles and achieved career-high WTA rankings in singles (438) and doubles (71) while being coached by De Vries. He creates her on-court training plans and serves as her hitting partner.
De Vries attended Boston University where he was a member of the men's tennis team from 2013-2017. He earned the Aldo "Buff" Donelli Leadership Award for his outstanding leadership on and off the court and was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
He graduated in the spring of 2017 with a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in business administration and management.
