A professional tennis player ranked inside the top thousand in the world joined the Wichita State men’s tennis coaching staff last month.
Chad Kissell, who is 994th on the most recent Association of Tennis Professionals men’s singles ranking, approached head coach Darragh Glavin during a tournament in Wichita over the summer to ask if he could become an assistant coach for the Shockers.
“I still play a little bit, but I don’t want it to be my main focus anymore, and I wanted to pursue coaching,” Kissell said.
