Head Coach Steve Houghton
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS Steve Houghton Head Coach 30th Season Steve Houghton, the dean of Big Ten coaches, is in his 30th year as head coach of the Hawkeyes. He has compiled a career record of 327-331 (.497), recording the most wins of any coach in Iowa men’s tennis history. The Hawkeyes have strung together three consecutive winning seasons since 2008, stockpiling 38 wins along the way. During that time, Iowa has defeated 20 nationallyranked teams, including 14 opponents in the nationally recognized Big Ten Conference. Houghton has coached 19 All-Big Ten performers and his players have received 93 Academic All-Big Ten accolades. He has coached Big Ten singles champions and ITA Regional singles champions. Several of his players have played professional tennis, including Tyler Cleveland, who reached the top 300 ATP in the world. Since taking over the program in 1982, Houghton has led the Hawkeyes to 13 winning seasons. His best season came in 1984 when Iowa won a school record 21 matches and finished fourth in the Big Ten Conference. Mike Inman and Sunil Reddy earned all-Big Ten honors. In 1989, Houghton was named NCAA Region IV Coach of the Year and picked up his 100th career dual win. Houghton has coached many outstanding student-athletes at Iowa, including Tyler Cleveland, Claes Ramel, Martin Aguirre, Tom Derouin, Klas Bergstrom, Mike Inman, Stuart Waters and Bart van Monsjou. Cleveland became the first player in conference history to earn consecutive Big Ten Player of the Year awards in 2000 and 2001. He is only one of two Hawkeyes in school history to earn all-Big Ten honors all four years of his career (1998-2001). He was also the first men’s tennis player to be named University of Iowa Male Athlete of the Year, earning the honor in 2000. Cleveland’s other honors include 2001 Region IV ITA Farnsworth Senior Player of the Year, 2000 Big Ten Sportsman of the Year, 1998 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and 1998 Region IV Rookie of the Year. The doubles team of Ramel and Aguirre earned Iowa’s first-ever national ranking, climbing to as high as 25th, by the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association. In 1989, the duo became the first Hawkeyes to play at the NCAA Championships. They still hold the school record for best doubles record at No. 1 in a season (17-6). He has coached two Davis Cup players at Iowa - Aguirre from Ecuador and Rudy Foo from Malaysia. Bryan Crowley won the Rolex Region IV championship in 1995 and was ranked first in regional singles action, before falling to careerhampering injuries. Not only are Houghton’s players students of the game, as their victories attest, but they are also students in the classroom. Houghton’s players have consistently maintained a grade point average above 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Since the Big Ten started awarding academic all-conference honors in 1987, 46 Hawkeyes have earned Iowa’s 93 honors. Iowa has had three four-time honorees (Ben Bamsey, Neil Denahan and Todd Shale), 16 three-time honorees, 12 two-time honorees and 17 players earn the honor once. Houghton also had a successful playing career at Iowa, lettering three years
4
and winning the No. 5 singles championship at the Big Ten meet. His career Big Ten singles record was 21-6, and his career winning percentage of .727 (40-15) is the second best in Iowa history. The Hawkeye coach was a member of the 1971 Iowa tennis team that recorded a 3.53 team GPA, the highest of any NCAA team in any sport that year. That team also qualified for the NCAA meet after a third place Big Ten finish. A member of the Iowa Tennis Hall of Fame, Houghton completed his sixth year as a member of the Region IV Ranking Committee. He is also involved with the Iowa City Tennis Association and has worked with the Iowa sports school’s tennis program since its inception. He has also served on both the NCAA ranking and selection committees. An Iowa City native, Houghton was a nationally ranked junior player at City High School. He earned his bachelor’s (1971) and master’s (1973) degrees from the University of Iowa. Houghton was born January 9, 1949. Steve and his wife, Leora, have four children: Cari, Jeff, Jon and Scott.

Steve Nash Assistant Coach Fourth Season Steve Nash is in his fourth season as assistant coach of the Iowa men’s tennis program. No newcomer to the Hawkeyes, Nash served previous stints as a volunteer assistant and a strength and conditioning coach at Iowa. Nash had a very successful college playing career. He began at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, KS, where he earned all-America and all-conference honors. He was also named to the JCCC Hall of Fame in 2006 - the only men’s tennis player to ever earn that honor. Nash transferred to Drake University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental science. He played on outstanding Drake teams, which were ranked in the top 30 nationally, earning all-conference honors in singles and doubles. He participated in the NCAA tournament and was a team co-captain for the Bulldogs. From 2002 to 2008, Nash served as the University of Iowa’s Recreation Services Tennis Director, where he was in charge of all tennis programs run through the University. According to Hawkeye Head Coach Steve Houghton, “Steve has been a terrific addition to our staff and program. He has a great tennis background, knows the game inside and out, is a great motivator and relates extremely well to the guys on the team. We’re very fortunate to have him here.” Nash is a native of Burlington, IA. He and his wife, Christina, have two children, Sidney and Alexis.

Hawkeyes Achieve Academic Success Academics have always been stressed by student-athletes at the University of Iowa. In the scheduling of both tennis matches and practice sessions, every attempt is made to insure a minimal number of missed classes. The goal is to give each player the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom as well as on the court. Since the Big Ten Conference began naming an all-academic team in 1987, 46 Hawkeyes have combined for 93 academic honors. Iowa has had three four-time honorees, 16 three-time honorees, 12 two-time honorees and 17 players earn the honor once. Hawkeyes Mitch Beckert, Patrick Dwyer, Reinoud Haal, Austen Kauss and Tommy McGeorge were the most recent honorees, earning honors in 2010. The team has consistently set the pace for all Hawkeye men’s athletic teams in terms of team grade point average. Iowa has also earned all-America status as a team for their academic achievement. The 2000-01, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 Hawkeyes were honored as national academic teams by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the only Big Ten school to receive that honor. In addition, Aaron Schaechertle, Elwell, Sawin and Holm were named ITA Scholar Athletes for the 2005-06 season and Haal, Sawin and van Monsjou were named for the 2007-08 season. Such recognition requires a minimum 3.5 GPA. The 1971 Iowa squad (which Coach Steve Houghton was a member) posted a combined GPA of 3.53, the highest average of any NCAA team in any sport that year. That team also played in the national meet. The academic success of the members of the Iowa tennis program is a long standing tradition - a tradition that the Iowa tennis program takes great pride in upholding. Hawkeyes Are Leaders The Iowa Student Athlete Advisory Committee (ISAAC) is the studentathlete leadership group at the University of Iowa. It is comprised of 44 student-athletes representing all 22 sports. Over the past 12 years, four of the ISAAC Presidents have been members of the Hawkeye men’s tennis team. They include Tom Buetikofer, Tom Derouin, Chaitu Malempati and Mat Sawin. “Their selection is a great honor for both our tennis program and the individuals themselves,” said Houghton. “It represents a lot of work on their part and tremendous leadership skills.”

Men’s Tennis Players Garner Big Ten Honors From 1987-2002, the Big Ten named a Sportsman of the Year for men’s tennis. Starting in the 2003 season, the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award was created to encompass male and female student-athletes from all sports. Four Hawkeyes earned the original honor during its 16-year existence. They are Klas Bergstrom (1993), Marcus Ekstrand (1996), Tom Derouin (1997) and Tyler Cleveland (2000). “The Sportsman of the Year Award was a great honor,” said Houghton. “It was based both on a high level of competitive success and exemplary sportsmanship. As a coaching staff, we emphasize sportsmanship and are very proud to have dominated that selection those eight seasons.” Cleveland was the first player in Big Ten history to be named Big Ten Sportsman of the Year and Big Ten Athlete of the Year in the same season (2000). He was also the first student-athlete in conference history to have earned Big Ten Athlete of the Year honors in two consecutive seasons (2000, 2001). He was also named Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1998. Former Hawkeyes Enjoy Professional Success Former Hawkeyes Stuart Waters and Tyler Cleveland enjoyed great success on the professional circuit. Both earned ATP points and Cleveland was also named USTA Pro Circuit Player of the Year in October 2005. Both players have had success in futures, challenges and money tournaments. Both have had wins over former top NCAA players, as well as ATP ranked international competitors. Cleveland, for example, defeated Jeremy Wurtzman, a former #1 ranked NCAA player from Ohio State. Waters and Cleveland had stellar careers for the Hawkeyes, earning multiple first-team all Big Ten honors. Cleveland was selected Big Ten Player of the Year in 2000 and 2001. Iowa’s MVP award is named in his honor. “All of us at Iowa are very proud of Stuart and Tyler,” said Houghton, “not only for their success on the court, but also for the classy way they represent our program.”

Why Iowa?
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS “Not a single second have I regretted my decision to come here. The University of Iowa provides the perfect combination of athletics and academics at a high level. The people are very friendly and always willing to help you. It is great to play for a Big Ten with experienced coaches and great teammates. Even though Iowa City is far from my home country, it feels like a second home for me.
Jonas Dierckx Freshman - Lommel, Belgium “Having grown up in a Big Ten Conference town, I knew from the time I set foot on campus that Iowa would be the right fit for me. I quickly realized that I had a connection with Iowa City and everything that comes with playing for a Big Ten program. In choosing the University of Iowa, I knew that I would be getting an outstanding education along with a world class athletic program that competes in one of the most competitive conferences in the country. The University sets the bar very high, but with the great athletic support staff that is provided, all student-athletes can achieve success on and off the court. Coach Houghton and Coach Nash are extremely dedicated and supportive of their players and continually pursue perfection every day. Having played in every Big Ten Conference town, I can honestly say that Iowa City is one of the most unique college towns in America. The people are genuine and the loyalty and excitement for Hawkeye athletics makes me feel very privileged to be part of it. With great teammates, coaches and fans, Iowa will motivate you to become the best athlete and student you can be. Go Hawks!”
“I chose the University of Iowa because it provides the opportunity to achieve excellence in athletics and academics. The decision to come to Iowa was an easy one for me. The university is providing a perfect balance between a solid education and the great athletic program. Great teammates, great coaches and a great athletic staff provide everything you need to be successful on and off the court. This is also a once in a life time opportunity to be part of the famed Big Ten Conference. It is great to be a Hawkeye! Go Hawks!”
Nikita Zotov Senior - Moscow, Russia “The decision came very quickly to me when I made my recruiting trip. I was introduced to the great academic and athletic standards set by the University of Iowa and was more than willing to accept the opportunity of becoming a Hawkeye. The college town atmosphere was a new and pleasant experience for me. The people were warm and inviting and the school spirit and pride was amazing. In my short time here already, I can say that I am proud to be a Hawkeye!”
Tom Mroziewicz Junior - Toronto, Canada
Connor Gilmore Sophomore - Madison, WI “My decision to come to the University of Iowa is probably one of the biggest decisions I have made so far. Being part of an athletic college team in the United States is a big dream for a lot of guys in Europe. It became reality when I got a chance to be part of the Iowa Hawkeyes. After I met Coach Nash in the Netherlands, I was sure that I wanted to be a Hawkeye. He told me everything about Iowa and what to expect. The connection with the coaches and the team was a big factor in choosing the University of Iowa. I talked with Coach Houghton over the phone a couple of times and I felt that Iowa would be the right fit for me. When I got here for the first time, everything felt right. Just like Coach Houghton and Coach Nash told me, Iowa would feel like home. Even though there were a lot of differences and I had to adjust to a lot of things, they were absolutely right. Choosing Iowa has been a great decision and I am excited to spend my four years of college in Iowa City.
Jeroen Gortworst Freshman - Purmerend, Netherlands
“Choosing Iowa for me was an easy decision. I wanted to attend a school in a big conference that had a college town atmosphere. Iowa provides that and much more. My teammates and the great people around me make it an awesome place. I am very proud to be a Hawkeye!”

Junior - Fort Collins, CO “The University of Iowa gives me the best chance to compete at a high level and get an outstanding education.

Why Iowa?
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS “I chose the University of Iowa because it has everything an incoming student can ask for, and more. From world class athletic facilities to very highly regarded academics, Iowa had an impact on me the first moment I came to campus. I felt an immediate bond with the guys on the team when I first visited Iowa City. They treated me like I was already part of the team and that was a special feeling. Coach Houghton was especially influential in my decision as well. He showed great interest in me throughout the entire recruiting process and seemed very motivated to bring out my best.”
“I chose the University of Iowa because it was a place that has a great campus, brand new athletic facilities and excellent academics. The University of Iowa gives student-athletes a great opportunity to exceed with a great coaching staff, trainers and advisors. The coaching staff is very knowledgable and continually supportive. The Big Ten is arguably the best tennis conference in the country and being a part of it is quite an honor. You cannot ask for much more when you have the best teammates who all work hard each day, striving to be the best. Go Hawks!”
Austen Kauss
Junior - Vernon Hills, IL
Senior - Overland Park, KS “Growing up in the state of Iowa my entire life I have always been a huge Hawkeye fan, so it was an easy decision when given the opportunity to play for the University of Iowa. The university has dedicated itself to excellence in both academics and athletics, and that is an environment that I wanted to be a part of. Not only the coaches, but the entire athletic department is committed to pursue the best interests of their athletes in the classroom and on the court.”
Mitch Beckert Freshman - Davenport, IA “When I was choosing where I wanted to go spend my four college years playing tennis, it came down to tree things; coaches, guys on the team, and generic details about the school. Before my visit to Iowa, I didn’t know where I wanted to go. Then my visit rolled around. Coach picked me up from the airport and immediately made me feel welcome, but when I really felt welcome was when I met the guys on the team. Unlike the other teams I met, the guys at Iowa truly seemed like they were a team. They instantaneously made me feel like part of something. Many times throughout the weekend, different guys would pull me aside and tell me why they chose Iowa and why it was such a good decision. This is one of the best decision I have made as a young adult.”
Chase Tomlins Freshman - Tulsa, OK
Christopher Speer “A campus filled with beautiful buildings, bustling with a student body excited to learn. A tight knit tennis team who enjoys being around each other, all with the same goal of reaching NCAA’s. These are only a few of the key points I was searching for in a university. Luckily I found Iowa, which contains all of the above-mentioned requirements. Additionally my junior coaches both attended the University of Iowa and always sung the praises of this institution. I took my recruiting trip here and right away knew I was home.”
Michael Swank Freshman - Lawrence, KS “I have lived close to Iowa City nearly all my life and when I got the chance to come play for a highly accomplished Big Ten team it was too much to pass up. I wanted to attend a smaller school growing up, but when I got a better look at the campus, the people and the college town atmosphere, I changed my mind immediately. Iowa has challenging academics, great facilities, excellent coaching, and most importantly, a great team. For me, this was as much as I could ask for. Go Hawks!”
Joey White Freshman - Cedar Rapids, IA “Choosing to attend the University of Iowa was one of the proudest and most confident decisions of my life. Right away I knew that Iowa had everything a student-athlete could ask for, great athletes, terrific academics and an allaround welcoming atmosphere. Iowa City is an awesome place to live and being around amazing coaches, advisors and teammates made me feel right at home. I am truly grateful to be part of the legendary Hawkeye tradition!”

Season Preview
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS 2010 A Look Back The 2009 season was a solid one for the Hawkeyes. Their 12-9 overall record included wins over five nationally-ranked teams, four Big Ten Conference wins and a national ranking in the 50’s for much of the year. According to Coach Houghton, “We have now established ourselves as a very solid team on the national level. Our invitation to the ITA Kick-Off Classic is proof.” Bierich Named All-Big Ten Senior Christian Bierich made major contributions to the squad. Bierich, the reigning Big Ten Singles champion, was named all-Big Ten after
finishing 11-9 in dual singles play and 10-10 in dual doubles. The selection marked the second straight year a Hawkeye garnered all-Big Ten honors as Bart van Monsjou was selected in 2008. Doubles Success Iowa made significant strides in doubles play. As a team, the Black and Gold finished with a doubles record of 37-23 (.617). Leading the way was the duo of Tommy McGeorge and Will Vasos. The pair finished 17-3 overall (15-2 at the No. 3 spot and 2-1 at the No. 2 spot). The 17 wins is tied for the third most doubles wins in a season. The 15 wins at the No. 3 position is tied for the second most at that spot in a season.

Hawkeye Administration
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS Gary Barta Director of Athletics “Hope is not a strategy,” is a common refrain of the University of Iowa’s Gary Barta. So, as Barta enters his fifth year as the UI’s director of intercollegiate athletics – and his 24th year in athletics administration – he does so diligently working a plan that contributed to historic success for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2009-10 and is setting the stage for more of the same in the years ahead. Competitively, two events stand alone at the top of the list of achievements by UI teams in 2009-10: Iowa’s dominating victory over Georgia Tech in the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl and yet another national championship for the UI wrestling program. Barta and the UI Athletics Department also enjoyed historic success out of competition including, most notably, significant improvements to the facilities used by the more than 700 student-athletes who represent the UI in intercollegiate athletics competition. In September 2009, the University of Iowa and the UI Athletics Department dedicated the $7 million P. Sue Beckwith, M.D. Boathouse, a 20,000-squarefoot facility built right on the bank of the Iowa River off of Dubuque Street in Terrill Mill Park. It features a large ergonomics room that will house the team’s rowing machines, four large boat bays, and a state-of-the-art rowing tank that features moving water at various training speeds, and locker room and medical training space. The building also features a beautiful river view terrace and community room that can be used by University and community groups for gatherings. In addition to the UI Rowing team, the building houses the UI men’s club rowing team and the Old Capitol Rowing Club, a community-based rowing organization administered by UI Recreational Services. In November 2009, the UI broke ground on a multi-million dollar addition and renovation of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the 28-year-old competitive home of the Hawkeye men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball programs. The Carver-Hawkeye Arena Revitalization Project will greatly improve the practice, strength training, and conditioning facilities for a myriad of sports programs in addition to providing new office space for the vast majority of Iowa’s administrative and coaching staffs in addition to new locker room and support facilities for Iowa’s men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball teams. The project is on pace for completion in fall 2011 thanks in great measure to outstanding private support of the project by many friends and fans who will enjoy enhancements to the spectator area of the Arena including new courtside seating and club rooms that will be available pre-game and at halftime. In fall 2010, Barta will join the campus community in celebrating the opening of the $69 million Campus Wellness and Recreation Center. The facility will provide unparalleled recreational opportunity for UI students, faculty and staff, and the greater Iowa City community in addition to being the new full-time home of the UI’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. While Iowa continues to move the facilities it makes available to studentathletes forward, the UI’s commitment to the academic piece of the studentathlete experience remains paramount – and successful. According to information released annually by the NCAA, the graduation rate for student-athletes who enrolled at the University of Iowa in the fall of the 2002-03 academic year was 70 percent, six percentage points better than the national average and two points better than a year ago. The graduation rate for UI student-athletes was also four percentage points better than the rate for all UI students. The football program at the UI - with a Graduation Success Rate of 74 -

ranked second only to Cincinnati among the ten teams invited to participate in the five 2010 Bowl Championship Series events. Iowa also ranked third among the seven bowl-bound Big Ten Conference teams. The UI’s field hockey, softball and men’s cross country teams were among the NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics programs singled out by the NCAA for Academic Progress Reports (APR) in the top 10 percent of all teams in their specific sport. In fact, for the second straight year all 24 of Iowa’s teams exceeded the NCAA’s APR benchmark and compared favorably to their peers in the Big Ten and nationally. Barta’s involvement in the UI campus community extends well beyond intercollegiate athletics. He is a member of the cabinet comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provides counsel to UI President Sally Mason. That group was instrumental in the UI’s inspiring response to the record-setting flooding that besieged the campus and the Iowa City and Coralville community in June 2008. Barta also represents the UI and the Hawkeyes at the conference and national level as well. During his first four years at the UI, he has participated in the creation and implementation of the Big Ten Network, the expansion of the Big Ten Conference and realignment of athletics conferences nationally, and the Big Ten’s post-season bowl game agreements that go into effect this college football season. Nationally, Barta remains active in the Division IA Athletics Directors Association, the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA Football Committee Board of Directors. Barta has another favorite saying: “Vision without resources is irrelevant.” Over the course of his career he has been directly involved in raising hundreds of millions of dollars in support of intercollegiate athletics. This has remained a primary focus during his tenure at Iowa where private support for the Hawkeyes continues to flourish despite a challenging economy. In recent years, the department has received a long list of commitments to assist in capital projects and scholarship support, including gifts of $5 million each from long-time friends of the UI Dale and Marilyn Howard, Bruce Rastetter and Richard O. Jacobson. Under Barta’s leadership – and thanks to a talented athletics development staff – the University of Iowa has seen year-over-year improvement in annual giving in spite of the current difficult economic environment and, at the same time, has generated almost $20 million of support for the Carver-Hawkeye Arena project. As the director of athletics at the University of Wyoming for three years, seven different UW coaches were named Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He also spearheaded a fund-raising effort that netted the Cowboy athletics program $11 million in private support and $11 million in matching state fund. As the senior associate athletics director at the University of Washington, he directed the “Campaign for the Student-Athlete,” was a participant in the design, construction and/or renovation of several UW athletics facilities including Bank of America Arena and the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility. In addition to almost doubling the amount of annual private support received by UW, Barta also managed the department’s external affairs division, a task that included corporate sponsorship and radio contracts. His responsibilities at Washington expanded over time to include hiring of coaching and administrative staff and coordinating the schedule for the Huskies’ men’s basketball program. The roots of his development experience extend to his first two positions: director of athletics development and external relations at the University of Northern Iowa and director of development at his alma mater, North Dakota State University. Barta earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism from NDSU in 1987. He was an option quarterback for Bison football squads that won the Division II NCAA national championship in 1983, 1985 and 1986.

Athletic Student Services
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS Since its inception in 1979, Athletics Student Services has evolved from a two-person, academic support service to a broad-based, nationally prominent student support services operation. Its purpose is to offer academic and personal support services that will assist student-athletes in making timely and satisfactory progress toward their degrees and becoming tomorrow’s leaders. Athletics Student Services focuses on four important areas - academic counseling and monitoring, educational and support programs, retention programs and compliance services - when working with student-athletes. Following are descriptions of some of the programs, services and opportunities available in those areas. Gerdin Athletics Learning Center The $4.6 million Russell A. and Ann Gerdin Athletics Learning Center opened in August of 2003 and gives all Iowa student-athletes a state of the art facility to support their educational goals. The Athletics Learning Center is a multi-level, 20,000 square foot facility which provides a computer center, study areas, classes and meeting places for all Hawkeye student-athletes. The Learning Center features an auditorium that converts into two classrooms, separate study rooms for under and upper-class student-athletes with 28 study carrels, a computer lab, five tutorial rooms, the book loan repository, office space for Iowa’s Student Services staff and a display area to recognize the academic accomplishments of Iowa’s student-athletes. Academic Counseling & Monitoring Athletics coordinators work closely with studentathletes and their university-assigned advisors from the time they arrive on campus until the time they leave the University. Along with focusing on academic planning matters such as goal-setting, plans of study, choosing majors and degree requirements, athletics coordinators also help student-athletes understand NCAA, Big Ten and University academic policies. They also solicit feedback from instructors on academic progress made by student-athletes.
36
Tutoring Tutoring is available free of charge to all student-athletes. Tutors, who are post-graduates and teachers, help with course content as well as study strategies and are available in virtually all general education program subjects.
CHAMPS/Life Skills Life skills programs are conducted throughout the year with and for student athletes on quality of life issues critical to personal growth, such as personal accountability, healthy lifestyles, alcohol safety, diversity and gambling.
Retention A full-time staff member directs the retention program, which identifies student-athletes who may need tailored academic assistance and structure, and implements individualized learning plans to help them succeed. Such plans may include daily and weekly planning sessions with athletics coordinators and retention staff, tutoring, study groups, mainstreaming into oncampus services like the writing center, math labs and services for students with learning disabilities.
Minority Enrichment Program This program offers a culturally supportive environment in which minority student-athletes develop friendships and a support network in the university. A core focus group of students and staff coordinate programs such as guest speakers, holiday celebrations, community service activities with the local neighborhood centers, events with Cultural Centers and networking with minority faculty, staff, professional and business leaders.
Transition Seminar All new student-athletes attend an eight-week transition seminar during the fall semester that is geared toward helping them make the transition from high school to college successfully. Seminar topics include time management skills, learning and study strategies, the culture and rules of the university and Division I Big Ten intercollegiate athletics, and personal leadership and life skills concerning alcohol safety, healthy relationships and intimacy, diversity and inclusion, tolerance, values and character.
Career Guidance & Development Planning a meaningful career and a fulfilling life is an ongoing process of expanding and narrowing choices, beginning when student-athletes arrive on campus and continuing throughout their college career and lifetime. The professional staff works with other career development professionals on campus to offer individual consultation, career development seminars, workshops, referrals to other campus offices and special events like the Senior Recognition Banquet for graduating student-athletes.

Strength Training & Sports Medicine
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS Athletic Training & Sports Medicine
Strength & Conditioning Philosophy
Continuing to set the standard in athletic training and Sports Medicine Service, The University of Iowa provides the student-athlete with exemplary medical care. Athletic Training Services is the largest component of the University of Iowa Sports Medicine program. UI Sports Medicine is a multidisciplinary healthcare team housed within the UI Sports Medicine Center, as part of University Hospitals & Clinics (UIHC), striving to provide exemplary everyday care all student-athletes. The team consists of Athletic Training, Orthopaedics, Primary Care, Physician Assistants, Radiology, Physical Therapy, and Nursing. In addition, Athletic Training Services connect student-athletes to UIHC resources and specialty areas. Iowa’s staff of 12 full-time licensed athletic trainers and six graduate assistant licensed athletic trainers provide health care services within four athletic training rooms and ancillary facilities, involving injury rehabilitation and prevention programs among other health care services. When injuries and illness occur Iowa’s athletic trainers provide treatment and rehabilitation programs to facilitate appropriate return to participation. Services from the UIHC, among the world’s largest university-owned teaching hospitals, support the efforts of the athletic trainers and other specialty sports medicine staff. Located next to Kinnick Stadium, the hospital offers a cutting-edge environment where staff physicians, sports medicine fellows, sports physical therapists, and athletic trainers care for studentathletes and produce successful outcomes. Dedicated research and education result in outstanding care. During the fall of 2009 the Institute for Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (IOSMR) will open to further enhance the care for student athletes and will house the UI Sports Medicine Center. Athletic trainers form a team with orthopaedic and primary care physicians for every Hawkeye sport. Many of the physicians are fellowship trained in their specialty area and lecture locally, nationally, and around the world. In addition each athlete has access to orthodontists, nutritionists, psychologists, and specialty physicians at the UIHC. Priority access to see physicians and other health care professionals provides expertise for comprehensive health care that returns the student-athlete to practice and competition promptly and safely.
The philosophy of this program consists mainly of two components. The first is to continually develop a scientifically sound program that will maximize strength, power and explosiveness in order to allow the athlete to get the utmost out of their genetic potential, and to reduce the chance of injury. This will primarily be accomplished through the use of ground based free weight exercises and the progressive incorporation of functional movements and plyometrics. The second is to establish a culture which will develop the discipline, character and mental toughness within each athlete and team as a whole so that they are able to make the sacrifices in their training, leave their comfort zone and develop a Championship ATTITUDE. This will encourage them to make the most out of every situation and opportunity given to them in athletics, so that they might know what it is to be fully committed to something in at least one area of their life. When these two converge, they are not only able to reach their full potential; they become champions on and off the playing field.
Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex Athletic Training Room Within the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex is a functional athletic training private space with equipment to enhance treatment, rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary, and strength performance. Equipment provided for the student-athletes includes: ellipticals, GameReady, treadmills, and bikes by Pre-Cor, strength equipment, and open space to conduct rehabilitation and prevention techniques. There are also traditional electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and moist heat treatment options.
The Hawkeye Strength Training Program The program is designed to develop strength, explosiveness, speed, coordination, balance and flexibility. All qualities are developed through progression of exercises in four phases of training: work capacity - ability to perform work for a prolonged time and recover quickly, strength - ability to exert force, power - ability to exert strength quickly, and speed - ability to move the body in shortest time possible. The highest level of performance is achieved by training under close supervision, in a year-round program. Improvement is monitored closely through the newest and best technology. Electronic timing devices are used to measure sprints, while a microcomputer device is used to monitor peak velocity and power outputs in weight training movements. With this technological support, the athletes are constantly receiving immediate feedback on their development.

Old Capitol One of the most recognizable sites in Iowa City is the gold dome of the Old Capitol which is situated in the heart of downtown. Built in 1840, it is Iowa City’s most historic building. The Old Capitol was the site of the first governor inauguration as well as the first six Iowa General Assemblies. It is also where the state’s Constitution was drafted. When the capital was moved to Des Moines in 1857, the Old Capitol was dedicated to The University of Iowa, becoming the first building owned by the University.

Hawkeye Traditions
IOWA MEN’S TENNIS The Hawkeye Nickname The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them. In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval. Herky The Hawkeye The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa. The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky. Since his birth more than 45 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athletics and epitomized University life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insignia of the 124th Fighter Squadron. During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that time, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athletics events. School Colors For 40 years Iowa was without school colors, but in 1887 a group of 50 seniors met on the steps of the Old Capitol to decide what are now the school official colors. They chose Old Gold, the color of Iowa’s vast corn fields and Black, the color of the rich soil.
School Fight Song The Iowa Fight Song was written in 1950 by Mason City, Iowa, native Meredith Willson. Best known as the creator of Broadway’s “The Music Man,” Willson was awarded a 1963 University of Iowa Alumni Association Distinguished Service Award for “setting the spirit of Iowa to music.” The lively cheer is sung hundreds of times during Iowa athletics events the year around. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Let every loyal Iowan sing; The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Until the walls and rafters ring (Go Hawks!) Come on and cheer, cheer, cheer for IOWA Come on and cheer until you hear the final gun. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Until the game is won.
