[su_spacer size=”40″] “It has been an amazing 10 years,” Glenn said. “I’ve been able to coach with and learn from Manny Diaz, the greatest coach in the business, who followed Coach (Dan) Magill, and he also meant a lot to me. I grew up playing tennis on these Georgia courts, and the opportunity to play here and coach here has been incredible. I was here as a player for five years and the last 10 years as an assistant, and those 15 years have been remarkable. I have loved every minute of it and appreciate the opportunity Manny has given me. It’s time to move on with my career, but I’ll always have great memories here.”

He has been tremendous to work with, and I have become a better coach because of Will Glenn. He is the longest-tenured assistant coach in the history of this program, which speaks to the type of coach and person Will is. He will always be a part of the Georgia Tennis family, and we are grateful for everything he has done for us. We are all sad to see him go but understand his wish to join the family business and pursue other interests for his family.”
