SIUE

Bob Meyers returns to the place where it all began. He started at SIUE as an assistant coach under Hall of Fame Coach Ken DeMars and went on to a Hall of Fame career of his own.

Inducted into the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women's Tennis Collegiate Hall of Fame in 2014, Meyers was the architect of four consecutive NCAA Division II women's tennis titles for the Cougars.

Meyers inaugurated the SIUE women's tennis program in 1979 and coached the team for 10 seasons. Under his leadership, the Cougars won four consecutive national titles from 1986 to 1989 with the final championship played at Forest Park in St. Louis with SIUE as the host institution. He also served as the men's tennis head coach from 1986 to 1989.

He has coached 32 players to All-American status at SIUE, including three NCAA singles champions and two NCAA doubles champions. Meyers was the NCAA Division II Coach of the Year for women's tennis in 1983 and later earned the same honor for men's tennis in 1988.

While at SIUE, Meyers also worked as an assistant athletic director, assistant to the director of Campus Recreation and instructor in the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Department.
