Four decades. Seems like a long time, but when you are doing something you love, the years just seem to slip away. For fourth-year assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach Dr. Kevin Blair tennis is his passion and he has been indulging in it for 33 years as a coach and player.

Blair spent four years as the men’s and women’s coach at Niagara. He rebuilt both programs, upgrading the schedule, recruiting student-athletes from Florida, California, New York and Canada. He continues to be the primary recruiter for both teams as well as the student-athletes’ liaison with the faculty and administration at Niagara

In addition to his coaching duties, Blair is a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience as a child and family therapist, a published author and a guest lecturer on many subjects in the field of social work and sociology. He is an associate professor of social work at Niagara.
