Drawing on 10 years of experience as General Manager of USTA Player Development, JTCC CEO Martin Blackman announced that he, along with JTCC President and Director of Coaching Vesa Ponkka, will oversee all of JTCC’s High Performance Training and High Performance Coach Development.
“We will implement a program that reflects the same philosophy and comprehensive training methodology that ushered in a resurgence of American tennis under the direction of USTA Player Development,” said Blackman. “Over the past decade, American tennis experienced its strongest resurgence since the early 1990s, with significant increases in representation across the Top 100, Top 50, Top 20, and Top 10 rankings. This progress was driven by a three-way partnership between USTA Player Development, the 17 USTA Sections, and the private sector.”
