About the Author

Encompassing all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam, the USTA is composed of 17 geographical sections, each of which maintains its own staff to administer USTA programs, establishes its own tournament schedule, and issues its own rankings.

Thousands of volunteers and full-time personnel implement the varied USTA programs on the sectional, district, and local levels.

The USTA is known as the owner and operator of the U.S. Open Championships, one of the four Grand Slam professional tournaments in worldwide tennis competition.

The U.S. Open is the highest annually attended sporting event in the world. In addition, it owns 96 pro circuit events throughout the United States and selects the U.S. teams for the Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Olympic Games, and Paralympic Games.

National coordination and administration of the USTA’s efforts are facilitated by the full-time staff at the national headquarters in White Plains, New York, the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York, and the USA Tennis High Performance headquarters in Key Biscayne, Florida.

The USTA works closely with the two major coaching certifying organizations—the U.S. Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) and the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR).

These alliances emphasize coaching education and development through an ambitious offering of coaching seminars, workshops, and conferences.

Ron Woods coordinated the development, and wrote selected chapters, of this new edition of Coaching Tennis Successfully.

Ron has served the USTA for almost 20 years as director of player development as well as the director of the USTA’s Community Tennis Programs.

He was a college tennis coach for 17 years and has been a member of the United States Olympic Coaching Committee and the International Tennis Federation Coaching Commission.

Woods has written or contributed to many coaching books and videos over the past 15 years. He and his wife, Kathy, live in Westport, Connecticut.
