LINDA LIED, FOUNDER
Linda's love for tennis and children is second to none. She began playing tennis at Western Racquet Club at the age of 12 and never looked back. In high school, she played for Pius and went to the state tournament 3 times. Later, she went on to play at UW Eau Claire where she was one match away from going to nationals.
Linda started her coaching career as BEHS's Assistant Woman's Tennis coach back in 2000. After 5 seasons, she was asked to take on both the Head Boy's and Girls Tennis Coach. Over the past 18 seasons, she has never cut a single player and has coached 2 State Championship teams, 3 Individual State Champions. The new tennis facility at Brookfield East is thanks to her fundraising efforts.
​
In 2002, Linda started Spartan Tennis Camp - a three week camp with 10 kids/week. Unhappy with the turnout and highly motivated to help grow the game, she increased her efforts. Today, Advantage Tennis Camp is now full to capacity week after week and attracting campers from all over. Campers sign up for all different reasons but keep coming back because of Coach Lied!
​
In the offseasons, Linda works as a substitute teacher and an accountant. She is a mother of 4 and in her free time, she enjoys reading and doing anything outside!

They both grew up playing tennis, Lindsay from Eau Claire Memorial and Steve from Antigo High school. They have fond memories of their high school careers and wanted to give positive experiences to upcoming players so they began coaching high school tennis at Bay Port in 2006. Lindsay started as the assistant girl’s coach for 2 years before taking over the head coach position and hired Steve on as her assistant. A few years later they took on the boys team and have been coaching both programs ever since.
