Chuck Bern takes over RMC Tennis program!
Chicago, IL - The Robert Morris Tennis will be under the guidance of a new coach in 2008, as RMC Athletic Director Megan Smith Eggert announced the hiring of Chuck Bern to helm the Eagle racqueteers.
"Coach Bern has been working with a very successful program at Moraine Valley Community College," said Smith Eggert. "That experience will be valuable as he develops our tennis program."
MVCC compiled a number of regional titles and National Junior College Athletic Association national tournament appearances during Coach Bern's tenure with the Cyclones.
"The RMC tennis program is almost a secret," he said. "I plan to change that. I would like to see our student-athletes embrace the joy of the game and the benefits it and college competition can bring them."
"There are few things more gratifying," he added, "than experiencing the thrill of competition, the pleasure of total involvement, the motivation of goal setting, and the satisfaction of intense effort."
A graduate of Elmhurst College and the Illinois Institute of Technology, Coach Bern is a Chicago native from the Beverly neighborhood on the city's south side. His three daughters all competed in intercollegiate tennis. He and his wife Jeanne now live in Palos Heights, IL.
