Nestor Brice?o
- Title:
- Cornelia Drake and John Van Ryn Jr. '28 Assistant Coach of Tennis
Nestor Brice?o joined the Princeton men's tennis team for the spring 2009 season as its top assistant coach.
Brice?o, who graduated from Florida last spring with a bachelor’s degree in political science, was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference honoree in 2006 before earning second-team honors in 2007.
“Nestor comes to us after a very successful college career at Florida, where he captained one of the powerhouse tennis programs in Division I and a perennial top-10 team," Princeton head men's tennis coach Glenn Michibata said. "Nestor is a proven winner at the highest level of college tennis and is now ready to pass on that experience to our players. We are fortunate that he has chosen Princeton as the place where he will start his collegiate coaching career.”
In 2005, Brice?o’s Gators won the SEC regular-season and tournament titles before advancing to the NCAA semifinals. During the following season, Florida reached the No. 1 spot on the national team polls.
Prior to college, Brice?o was a three-time youth state champion in Florida and was a two-time USTA national champion in his age group while reaching the national finals in two other years. Brice?o had a final youth ranking of No. 2 in the U.S. and No. 20 in the world, giving him the opportunity to represent the U.S. in the World Youth Tennis Cup in the Czech Republic.
Brice?o, a native of Pembroke Pines, Fla., is also fluent in Spanish and was a dean’s list and SEC Honor Roll selection every year as a collegian.
