TENNIS

Jeff Moore is acknowledged as a prolific innovator, popular speaker, and expert clinician. As his record shows, Jeff was an outstanding tennis coach for the Lady Longhorns! His squad was always comprised of true scholar-athletes. Jeff is truly a classy guy who knows how to succeed. Further, he is always available to help others achieve their goals or missions! ???????????????????????????????? Jim Deitrick

Rowing

Rowing

The training and physical strain on the body required to be a successful rower is intense. A very tough mind and body is needed to succeed.

Coach O’Neill says “It’s not just technique and training, it’s also marketing and branding. It’s about building the culture, but in many respects we’re building the brand with what we’re doing here. So, it’s not just the technique and the training, and using sport science—it’s also about how we are going to represent and market ourselves, and build a culture and brand around Texas Rowing.”
