Former All-ASUN performer joins staff
WASHINGTON - GW men's tennis head coach Rob Castille announced Monday the addition of Rob Mitchell to the team's coaching staff as a graduate assistant.
"I am excited to welcome Rob Mitchell to our program and the GW family," Castille said. "Rob emerged from an excellent field of candidates and will be a great addition to the team. He played at a very high level at Lipscomb University and has a strong knowledge of the game. I'm confident he will fit in well with the guys and will help us reach our goals both on and off the court."Â
Mitchell graduated with an accounting and finance degree from Lipscomb in 2017, where he was one of the Bisons' top performers. He played at #1 all four seasons, serving as the team's vice-captain as a junior and captain as a senior. In his final campaign, Mitchell led the team to the first ASUN conference final in program history.Â
He also became the program's first D-I player to earn a national ranking in singles, reaching as high as #110. Mitchell was twice named to the ASUN All-Academic Team and was a three-time First Team All-Conference performer.
A native of Southampton, England, Mitchell will pursue a master's degree in finance at GW. Since his graduation, he has served as an accounting analyst for LKQ Corporation in Nashville and moved to London to work as a software consultant for a Fintech service provider.
