Chad Tsuda: Back-to-back Colorado High School Tennis State Champion turned coach. Inspires players to play without regrets.

Episode #11 Chad Tsuda was a two-time individual champion while attending Fairview High School in 2001 and 2002. He returned as head coach to help bring the Knights their elusive first-team title over powerhouse Cherry Creek High School in 2017. Tsuda, a four-year No. 1 singles player at Fairview, graduated in 2002. Over a dominant high school career, he qualified for the state tournament in each of the four seasons and capped his legacy with back-to-back titles as a junior and senior, losing just one match in the two-year span. He played collegiately at the University of Colorado, helping lead the Buffs to No. 23 in the nation in doubles and singles as a senior, the highest in school history. After college, he played in Europe before returning to the area to serve as a private instructor and coach with the Knights starting in 2008. Under Tsuda, Fairview has won the Front Range League tournament title in each of his 12 years at the helm. In 2017, the Knights broke new ground when it won the program’s first state title in history, knocking off stalwart Cherry Creek, who they finished second to the previous six seasons. While at Fairview, Tsuda taught lessons at Rich’s Tennis School before transitioning to Meadows Swim and Tennis Club, where he also serves as the director of tennis. His story is inspiring and you'll learn the importance of removing the "I" in a team to find true success on and off the court.
