TicketsCINCINNATI – Austin Frick has been named the assistant men's golf coach at the University of Cincinnati, head coach Doug Martin announced Tuesday.
Frick comes to Cincinnati after spending the past two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Tennessee. While in Knoxville, Frick assisted the Volunteers coaching staff, tracked and organized statistics and managed all performance and training equipment. He received his Master's degree in Kinesiology with a specialization in sports psychology and motor behavior from Tennessee in April.
Since 2016, Frick also has worked as a mental skills coach using sports psychology training while consulting professional and amateur golfers as well as minor league baseball players.
"Austin brings tremendous energy to our program," Martin said. "His background in sports psychology will be a huge asset in helping develop young players. Our recent assistant coaches have been local to the area and familiar with our players. By bringing in Austin this will be a great opportunity for a fresh perspective to help evaluate our program."
Frick played Division I collegiate golf as a four-year starter at Francis Marion University in South Carolina where he earned Academic All-America honors his senior campaign. He earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from Francis Marion in 2015. He later served as a professional caddie for the Nordea Golf Tour in Sweden in 2015.
"The opportunity to join Coach Martin's staff and work with these incredibly talented players is one that I could not be more excited about," Frick said. "The environment and energy surrounding this program is truly something special and I look forward to facilitating these players in any way I can to help them reach their goals."
