Alex Steinroeder Added to Men's Tennis Staff

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth men's tennis head coach Chris Drake has announced the hiring of Alex Steinroeder as an assistant coach. A Harvard graduate, Steinroeder was most recently at ATP Tour Inc. in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

"I am thrilled to add Alex to the staff," Drake said. "My respect for Alex goes back to his days as a junior tennis player and only grew during his time at Harvard. He's always been a highly intelligent tennis player, a great teammate and an effective leader that has a positive influence on those around him. His experience and success as a player in the Ivy League make him uniquely qualified to help our players grow on and off the court. I know he is motivated to make his mark in college tennis and is excited to help us continue to grow our program at Dartmouth."

While with ATP Tour – a position he held since Jan. of 2017 – Steinroeder worked directly with tennis players in the ATP University, an educational program to prepare players for life on the professional tennis tour and after their playing careers are over. He also assisted the Chief Player Officer in the preparation and presentation of Player Council meetings and supported the Player Representatives on the ATP Board of Directors with various projects.

Prior to that, he spent a year in a different capacity at ATP Tour, publishing the Players' Weekly, a newsletter to communicate important information to the players.

Steinroeder has worked as an assistant tennis professional at both the Country Club of New Canaan (Summer of 2015) and the Belmont Country Club (Summer of 2013 – Summer of 2014), teaching private lessons and group clinics.

A 2015 Harvard grad with a degree in government, Steinroeder had a successful tennis career playing for the Crimson, being named co-captain (2014, 2015), an ITA Scholar-Athlete (2013-15) and helping his team reach the Round of 32 in the NCAA Championship (2012-14).
