Eric Diaz
- Title:
- Assistant Coach
BOISE STATE TENURE (2015-present)
Eric Diaz is in his first season as assistant coach for the Bronco program. His responsibilities include helping with the day to day operation of the program, as well as coaching during practice and on game day. He will also assist with the recruiting efforts of the program and assist with the organization and running of camps.
PRIOR TO BOISE STATE
This is Diaz's first full-time collegiate coaching job after graduating from Georgia in 2015. Diaz’s coaching experience includes helping at Bulldog tennis camps, working as an assistant coach at the Beck Tennis Academy in Athens, Ga., and attending a USTA high performance coaching program led by Jose Higueras.
In addition, he received a three month internship to work with the USTA player development program. During that time he shadowed numerous national coaches including Jose Higueras, Andy Brandi, Eric Nunez, John Desdunes, Jay Devashetty, and Tom Gullikson. Diaz also worked with elite American athletes ranging in age from 12-18, as well as ATP and Challenge players throughout his internship period.
Diaz has also worked with a Collegiate Tour Team where he assisted Stephen Armitraj and Brad Stine for several weeks, which included time at the U.S. Open.
Perhaps Diaz’s biggest coaching asset is being the son of a coach. He is the son of longtime Georgia head coach Manuel Diaz who has led the Bulldogs to numerous Southeastern Conference titles and four NCAA National Championships.
COLLEGIATE PLAYING CAREER
As a collegiate player he experienced success as a member of four SEC regular-season championship teams, two SEC Tournament Champions, two NCAA Final Four teams and three top-five nationally ranked squads.
As an individual, he recorded key wins over players from Southern California, UCLA, Stanford, Oklahoma and Ohio State. In addition to serving as team co-captain during his senior season, Diaz was ranked nationally with two different doubles partners.Â
PERSONAL
Diaz graduated from the University of Georgia in the spring of 2015 with a degree in communication studies. Â
He has remained active playing tennis since his graduation and is currently a member of the Puerto Rico Davis Cup team.
