In 2016, The Reichle family sustained life-threatening injuries in a tragic “head-on” collision when a young driver crossed the line and hit their car at 70mph. The Lord sustained them, healed them and brought them through the long process of recovery and rehabilitation. A doctor recommended tennis as part of their rehab, working on eye-hand coordination, memory, and building back strength. They were all tennis players before, but tennis became a key force in their rehabilitation.
Coach Reichle has a Master of Divinity from Alliance Theological Seminary, and a BA in Astronomy and Physics with Minors in Math, Statistics, and Religious Studies from the University of Tennessee. He is passionate about coaching tennis and teaching. This year he is teaching AP Statistics, AP Physics, Levels Physics, and Pre-Calculus. Whether one of his tennis players is picking up a racket for the first time or plays at an advanced level, Coach Reichle wants all his players to be successful, to develop a love for this life-long sport, and to grow in their Christlikeness as they “serve one another in love.” (Galatians 5:13)
