Coach Luteran Attends ITA Coaches Convention

I just returned from the 24th annual ITA Coaches Convention in Naples, FL. This was the fourth time I have attended the ITA convention and once again it was a fantastic learning experience. I always come back invigorated and ready to start the spring season with several new ideas I picked up from many of the best coaches in the world.

This year's convention featured Stan Smith, Zina Garrison, Nick Saviano, and many others. There were nearly 300 other college coaches from all divisions and all parts of the country. The ITA (Intercollegiate Tennis Association) is the governing body of collegiate tennis and was founded in 1956.
