In the latest episode of Titan Table Talk, Tommy Gilbert engaged in discussions with three prominent coaches from Illinois Wesleyan University (IWU). The episode featured insights into the university's sports programs and their recent achievements.

The first guest was Jason Van Heuklon, who recently took on the role of Director of Tennis and Head Women's Tennis Coach at IWU. Van Heuklon spoke about the development within the tennis program and his experiences in his new position. "Coach Van Heuklon talks about what it has been like to fill the roll of Director of Tennis and how much more they are able to accomplish," noted Gilbert. The conversation also touched upon the early successes of the women's tennis team this season.

Following Van Heuklon, Head Men's Soccer Coach Kyle Schauls joined Gilbert at the table. Schauls discussed his team's impressive start to the season, boasting a 5-0-1 record after five consecutive shutouts at home. The discussion also covered preparations for a challenging College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) schedule following their tournament championship win last year.

The episode concluded with Head Football Coach Norm Eash reflecting on his team's commanding 55-7 victory over Elmhurst University. Eash highlighted areas where his team excelled during that game and outlined strategies for improvement as they prepare for their upcoming match against Carthage Firebirds. "Coach Eash discusses what the team did right this past Saturday," said Gilbert, emphasizing Eash's focus on navigating a competitive CCIW landscape.
