Think you’re “not good enough” to coach? Megan Rose and Nancy Abrams explain why rec players are exactly who tennis needs, plus a new push to bring more women into coaching. Tennis in the United States is experiencing a powerful surge, and that growth has exposed a clear gap: there simply are not enough coaches to meet demand. In our conversation with Megan and Nancy, we dig into how the USTA Coaching platform is designed to close that gap with accessible education, practical resources, and community support.Megan Rose is the Managing Director, Head of Business Development & Operations of USTA Coaching. She was a 5-time NCAA All-American at University of Miami and competed on the WTA Tour. She previously was the Head Coach of Women's Tennis at Princeton University and the Senior Manager of Member Relations at the Women's Tennis Association. Nancy Abram's tennis journey began at the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles, working for Billie Jean King and Jeannie Buss running ball kids for the summer pro events. Nancy played in college and has over two decades of experience with the United States Tennis Association Southern California. She is the architect behind the USTA SoCal’s Women & Girls Who Ace Summit, which celebrates the contributions of female sports leaders in Southern California, providing unique learning opportunities for coaches, athletes and industry professionals.Learn more about USTA Coaching on USTACoaching.com, Instagram, or Facebook.We would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating wherever you listen to podcasts!
