Yeah agreed there are no real studs even at JTCC. The best guy is a high UTR 11. What I’m saying is there are no Tiafoes in the pipeline and better players in Florida and So cal

It’s not even about Tiafor etc

He’s a freak of nature

But the continuous development of high level players (even if they are not pro standard) — this isn’t the area for that

Most of the Virginia Cavaliers tennis players were trained at JTCC.

Hmm interesting because 100 percent of the top 6 this year were foreigners!

Theee is nobody there now. Stiles brockett was the top dog but he left to train in Spain

My kid loves LOVES JTCC. He’s been taking the group classes since 2021. The coaches care about the kids and the training program is systematic. The amount of positivity that flows through that place is inspiring. One of the coaches (Eric) has a smile/laugh that physically lifts kids up and keeps them trying when a skill is hard. The kids learn great tennis, learn how to compete well and appropriately and grow emotionally and socially.

It’s a really special place. It’s unusual in that it does not feel like a transactional place, but is a community. There is tennis available that is closer, but it’s not the same.

Different poster, but my two kids feel exactly the same way about JTCC.

People are leaving JTCC for a reason. If your kid is taking from Eric they are a beginner

I LOVE Coach Eric! I don't know how he does it, but he's always positive. I'm an adult, not a kid, but if I have a class with Coach Eric and I'm having a bad day, I always have a better day because he knows how to lift my spirits.

If I had kids, I would be so lucky to have them work with Coach Eric. He's the best.

BTA was great for my daughter from when she was beginner and beyond. She developed in the program, was in their Gold Ball group, eventually playing at Wash U.

I love Coach Eric. If I had kids, I would want Eric to coach them. He's endlessly positive, is an excellent coach and is in general one of the best guys in the world. Coach Eric is one of the many ways JTCC rules.
