Tennis has a problem:
- US players dominated throughout three decades. In 1993, 5 US players were ranked in the top 10 of the world ATP. In 2018 they no longer are in contention.
- The end started quite some time ago. The last American player to win a Grand Slam was Andy Roddick in 2003. The last time a US player held the number 1 spot for 52 weeks was Andre Agassi between the years of 1999 and 2000.
- Participation has gone down rapidly. 1974, 38 million people were playing tennis in the US vs. only 17.9 million in 2017, of which just 4.4 million are juniors between the ages of 6 and 17.
- TV viewers of men’s tennis in the US has lost about a million viewers for each year from 26.33 millions in 2011 to 20.85 millions in 2017.
- Bringing an athlete to the top of the world of Tennis is an absolute skill. This skill is no longer available globally.
So What can we do?
The solution:
An old African proverb once said: "It takes a whole village to raise a child"
- Innovative, Creative and Comprehensive Tennis Project. As the opening quote suggests, it will take nothing less than a village to raise our next true champions.
- Results based. Re-establish the teaching that used to give players the right tools for players to compete at the highest level and become ultimately legends.
- Proven Research. I have researched and combined the most successful models to date and added innovative approaches to training.
- Years In The Making. This formidable project took a span of 25 years to mature and is adapted to exceed expectations for the current Tennis conditions in the United States.
I am looking for motivated and passionate individuals to join a team that will change Tennis forever. Tennis players, investors, partners and professionals motivated by creating significant results. Local support from families that want to invest in their communities and the development of the youth.
