PTU Profile: Trevor Spencer

Favorite Shot: Backhand

Best Tennis Memory: Achieving the #1 spot on my tennis team. What has been your favorite event or program to teach during your time at Cliff Drysdale Tennis and why? I really enjoyed working in a Doubles Clinic at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch. It was fun to play and instruct people from different areas of Texas and it was exciting to get to socialize with them. What part of being a tennis pro do you feel you've improved at the most during your time in the program? Hands down my feeding ability. I had struggles with feeding in the beginning, but after some assistance with my fellow pros I was able to improve in this area significantly.

If you could teach a private lesson to any person in the world, who would it be and why? Naomi Osaka; not just because I’m a fan, but to also learn from her about mental toughness, which is something I admire in a tennis player. What advice would you have for those interested in joining the PTU program? Do not worry about your insecurities as a leader or a tennis player. While still very important in the business, you will have plenty of resources and people to help you improve. You just need to ask for help, which I feel is the most important part in improvement.
