YTC History

 I chose tennis because it helps me stay very active. Tennis also does a great job connecting people, and has given me a chance to meet many clients who I now call friends.

I got involved in tennis ever since my grandma got me into it. I played with her when I was about 5 years old for my first time at her grass club, and she took me to lessons in Florida when I was younger too. 

In Orlando, I am looking forward to learning more about the business of the industry, as well as getting a new level of certification. 

My aspirations in the industry are to eventually run my own club one day. I’d love to manage my own staff of people and be the point man for everything that goes on in the club. 

Outside of tennis, one thing I do to challenge myself to be better is reading and working out. Reading allows me to improve my mental health and brainpower, while working out helps me push myself physically. Other things I do to challenge myself are learning new skills and engaging in new experiences.
