October Spotlight of the Month - Coach

Each month, USTA Oklahoma will highlight a player, a volunteer and/or coach, and a NJTL (National Junior Tennis & Learning) or Adaptive Tennis Player. After selecting the 3 winners, we will sit down for Q & A with the spotlight of the month. 

• Athlete-- Any player that has good sportsmanship & dedication to the sport, whether they are just starting out in a Team Challenge or they are a National ranked player we would love to hear who you would recommend from your team or facility 
• Volunteer/Coach--A person that has gone above and beyond for your facility or program.  
• NJTL/Adaptive Player--A player that has demonstrated hard work and dedication they have put forth in their program.

Do you play tennis?

Severe tennis elbow seven years ago put a stop to playing tennis - which actually became  blessing in disguise - freeing up time with the academy. 

NOTE: Played junior tennis in Tulsa (actually worked front desk at LaFortune Park from 9-12th grades), and played as adult on a number of 4.0 and 4.5 USTA teams. 

Favorite tennis memory?

Taking our 14U team to the USTA Junior Team Tennis National Championships in Orlando - and winning!
