Kevin Heim, Executive Director of the Woods Tennis Center, was honored in Flushing Meadows, New York, during the U.S. Open last month. Heim received an award for the 2023 Paralympic Coach of the Year from the United States Paralympic Olympic Committee.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with these incredible athletes, and I get the same satisfaction from coaching a beginning level player with the lowest level of function all the way to professional players at the highest level,” he said.
Heim has been a national coach for Team USA Wheelchair Tennis since 2016, coaching U.S. athletes at the World Team Cup in the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, the U.S. Open, and most recently at Wimbledon. He helped guide Team USA to a second place finish in 2021, followed by fourth- and third-place finishes in 2022 and 2023.
