He has worked as a tennis educator for families, federations, universities and associations in over 30 countries.   In this podcast we discuss many different matters, including what role college coaches play in the advancement of the sport of tennis and how coaches can become better teachers of the game to their teams and community members.

The guest on the 45th episode of our GreatBase Tennis podcast is Dave Fish. Combine Dave Fish's half-century in tennis, his intellectual capacity and his love for tennis and you have a voice of reason. If there was a hypothetical list for an international tennis commissioner, Dave Fish would have to be a candidate to consider. He was recently inducted into the Intercollegiate Tennis Hall of Fame. He is best known for his career at Harvard and his efforts in launching the UTR.The conversation was primarily based on two simple ways to improve tennis in the US: 1) tennis instruction, and 2) tennis competition. In regard to instruction, Dave is a supporter of our GreatBase Tennis curriculum. For twelve years, the Harvard tennis camp used our curriculum. In regard to tennis competition, Dave is on a mission to make playing tennis less expensive and more productive.

Dave Fish, former coach of the Harvard Men's Team, joins us and reflects brilliantly on how the changes we are seeing in society at present can be traced in almost direct parallel through the development of the game of tennis in America and the establishment of the Davis Cup. He then looks across the Covid-19 issue and societal pressures and forms what he sees might be a new paradigm in local, national and international tennis. "Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste" Dave puts in perspective, by referring back to the 1960s and 70s and how his collegiate career progressed, how tennis and role models helped to maintain his goals and moral views as society questioned itself, much like today. Dave believes that Covid could positively and significantly change the face of tennis, from collegiate tennis through to junior tennis and even at the professional level. He sees a future that is much more "localized" through UTR, rather than chasing points through certain age categories. Funds might not be as available, in the near term, to juniors following Covid. The former Harvard coach sees a possibility in which a refocusing on player development in the coming years might bring success to American tennis again. Through the Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) program, Dave believes tennis will also be further "localized" - with tournaments across all age groups based on ability, not age. More local play will be a part of the future picture of competitive tennis, from juniors all the way through to the professional leve. Dave discusses the NCAA rules and how they may come to affect decisions by junior tennis players in which some juniors are more than ever repeating 8th grade. This "gap" year then allows American junior players to compete with older European players who are participating at higher and higher rates in college tennis. Communication at the right time and through the appropriate avenues by a junior to a college coach is crucial for both the player and the coach, Dave points out, as they work through the recruiting process. And, having spent over 40 years as head coach at Harvard, how would Dave approach a parent and junior player who might ask: "I won't develop as much at college as I will on a pro tour... you might just keep me at number 5 for all four years." Dave's biggest challenge as a coach? Well, it wasn't getting James Blake on to the tour. Have a listen and find out what made Dave Fish one of the greatest tennis coaches in NCAA history.

Dave Fish, Ph.D., founder and CEO of CuriosityCX stops by to reflect on his career in CX and discuss a series of events and the customer experience management lessons learned upon the death of his father. The discussion helps to illustrate the situational factors that organizations need to be aware of and respond to when designing customer experiences, as well as the importance of empathy in the design process. 

This week Dave was going to be smug about not messing it up, Casey got in trouble for this last time, and Cody calls for more lies. Also, shocking!

Hello everyone, welcome to The Coach Steve Clark PhD Show. Thanks for joining me and I hope you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation. Today I have as my guest a very long time friend and coaching colleague who has been a great voice for NCAA tennis and AMERICAN tennis at large, Dave Fish of Harvard Men’s Tennis. Dave is at his 39th year as the Head coach at Harvard. He was a1972 graduate of Harvard, played on 3 national championship squash teams and one Ivy Champion tennis team with the Crimson. Dave has had an impressive 626-284-1 overall record for a .688 percentage making him the winningest men's tennis coach in Harvard history. He guided Harvard into the NCAA Championships 22 times so far. He has tutored 15 All-Americans including James Blake (singles and doubles) Now achievements aside, Dave will be the first to tell you that more important is the character and integrity of a person. Dave is a great friend on both counts. He is more interested in the development of tennis than the focus being on him so, with that lets get into some topics for our young players, parents, and coaches regarding the NCAA, USTA, the UTR and more. Please see coachsteveclarkphd.com for more of my discussion, resources, blogs and podcasts.

On Episode 12 of The Tennis Files Podcast, I spoke with Dave Fish, coach of Harvard University Men's Tennis, about the Universal Tennis Rating system (UTR). UTR provides tennis players worldwide a common scale to determine their level of play based on actual match results without regard for age, gender or where the matches are played. Dave also discussed audience-submitted questions regarding what it is like to be on the Harvard Men's Tennis Team. The UTR system helps facilitate more competitive matches and gives players a more accurate way of determining their skill level. Even John McEnroe is a fan of UTR because of its ability to provide players with more competitive local-based matchplay. With UTR, tennis players can compare their skill level with other players from all around the world. UTR is not only a wonderful resource for tennis players, but it helps coaches, parents, tennis associations and tournament directors more accurately gauge players' tennis abilities based on UTR's 16 level-scale. College tennis recruits can use UTR to figure out the ratings of a team's roster and help them decide whether that school is a fit for them and their tennis skills. UTR is an exciting new rating system that is revolutionizing the game of tennis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chuck Kriese interviews Coach Dave Fish of Harvard. The entire interview is done on the revolutionary ‘Universal Rating System'. The URS is a system that has been developed by Dave Fish. This brilliant idea is now being explored in many different venues as it allows each and every competitive player to have a rating (not a ranking). These ratings allow tremendous flexibility for competitors as players from any age, sex, league etc… The fallacy of our competitive structure in the US has been that we have segregated all players by age and sex and location. The Universal rating System allows many options that could multiply the number of players exponentially immediately. Interestingly, this system is being met with opposition by those organizations that head up tennis in our country.
