David R. Frank - Varsity Head Coach
Coach Frank took over running the the MUHS Tennis Program in 2005
(following a tough act in Fr. Rob Kroll) after serving as an assistant
coach in 2004. David was a four-year Varsity Tennis letter-winner at
MUHS, graduating in 1999. He played on four WISAA State
Championship Teams and played a key role on each of those teams.
He was most proud of the MUHS Tennis Team winning the
Sportsmanship Award at the 2008 State Tournament. He stresses the
team concept of high school tennis as well as the "men for others"
concept taught by the Jesuits to each of his players. David attributes
much of his coaching success to the tutelage he received over his four
years of playing under Coach Donovan in the late 1990s. The team
has won four WIAA Team State Championships (2007, 2008,2009 &
2010) under his tenure and six Greater Metro Conference
Championships.
