Jeff Wilson Hired as Men's Tennis Assistant Coach

HANOVER, N.H. – Head men's tennis coach Xander Centenari has announced the hiring of Jeff Wilson as an assistant coach. Wilson brings almost three decades of tennis experience to the Upper Valley.

"Jeff brings a tremendous depth of experience in coaching and has a keen sense for player development," Centenari said. "He will very quickly integrate into Dartmouth tennis and I can see him connecting with the guys on day one. We have a similar value system which will permeate how we communicate with the players and how we shape this program. I'm very excited to bring Jeff on board."

In 2016, Wilson founded the South Carolina Junior Tennis Foundation and has been serving as director ever since, helping fund advancing players in need and delivering student-athlete drive fundraisers in local communities.

During this time, he was also the co-founder and president of MW Tennis Academy, where he was responsible for staffing, budgeting, payroll, coaching and player development. He held this position until November of 2018.

While Wilson has a good amount of tennis academy experience, he has also coached at some well-known universities, including Duke, Georgia Institute of Technology and San Jose State.

He has traveled the world 35 weeks per year as a pro level touring coach and has coached six players ranked in the top 100 in the world, including the No. 1 players in Sweden and South Africa.

Wilson graduated from San Jose State in 1992 with a degree in human performance and sports psychology. He and his wife, Kim, have three children: Reilly (who plays tennis at Navy), Susie-Jane and Liam.
