episode 19: Sean Covich - The Start of WVU Golf
In a world that’s full of competition, it’s hard enough to keep your squad relevant in the college sports world. It’s even harder to build a program from scratch…and only have one year to recruit. That’s exactly what Sean Covich had to do when he was hired to head up the Men’s Golf program at WVU. Work in a cubicle, recruit and be ready for Fall golf in twelve months.
We open up the episode and learn a little more about Sean. He’s originally from Mississippi and played college golf at a Junior college. After catching wind that WVU was looking to have a golf program, Sean threw his name in the hat, and the rest is history. We talk about his move from the South up to Morgantown, WV, and what this new role entailed.
We talk more golf and dive into plans for the program’s future growth plans. After some banter, we end the episode with our standard Tap-In segment, where we ask Sean 4 questions that demand his quick-witted response. Be sure to tune in to this episode, share it, and nod your cap to what Coach Covich has done in such a short period of time.
