The Changeover Podcast

The University of Virginia has become one of the premier programs in college tennis, and much of that success starts with Head Coach Andres Pedroso.
In this episode, Coach Pedroso takes us inside what it takes to build a championship culture—from recruiting the right players and developing talent to managing expectations and creating a team-first environment. He also shares lessons on leadership, communication, and why culture often matters more than talent alone.
Along the way, we dive into:
How Virginia evaluates recruits beyond rankings
Building a winning team culture
Developing players on and off the court
Managing pressure and expectations in college tennis
The realities of college recruiting
Funny stories and memorable moments from coaching
Whether you're a junior player, parent, coach, or college tennis fan, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the most successful programs in NCAA tennis.
