Chad
Braun has raised the bar when it comes to success for the Fighting
Scots men's tennis program. His 2006 squad set the school record
with 22 dual match victories. In 2009, the Scots finished second in
the conference tournmanet, their highest finish since winning the
team title in 1938. Braun
is also the defensive coordinator for the Fighting Scots football team and
serves as the college’s strength and conditioning coach.
The tennis program returned to intercollegiate
competition in 2002-03 after a 10-year layoff. The program boasts an
outstanding
$1 million
outdoor facility and the
$22 million Huff
Athletic Center, which features four indoor courts and
provides student-athletes the opportunity to play year-round.
Braun has a bachelor's degree from
Illinois College, and a master’s degree in sports
management from Western Illinois University.
