Show Notes
In this week's episode we get to hear from the USF Head Golf Coach, Wade Merry, and with two golfers, Gavin Metz and Ashley Tackett. They talk about why they love the USF community, and how the small school size allows them to create close relationships with their professors, making life as a student athlete easier. We get a rundown of the tournaments they have competed in so far, as well as their expectations heading into the conference tournament. Wade speaks on how they train in the winter to stay prepared for their spring season. Ashley and Gavin talk about how Wade, along with their other assistant coaches, really get to know them as people and players. They discuss how the coaches help them not only technically, but also mentally. Hear more about USF’s golf program by tuning into this week's episode!
