Who Am I?
My name is Dr. Anthony Ross, a former Pepperdine All-American, Wimbledon competitor, and now tennis specific sport psychologist.
In the past few years I’ve worked with 4 players in a single city in Australia who’ve gone on to win Grand Slam junior championships or become world #1…(Along with a 5th player who made Wimbledon junior final).
I’ve also used the 'Roadmap' to guide my work with those players’ coaches and parents along their junior tennis parenting journey.
What's In The Roadmap?
