Coach Chelsey

My Story

As a Tennis Coach, I've had the privilege of working with various organizations and players, honing my skills and passion for the sport. I have studied under multiple Division-1 coaches including working at 559 Tennis Academy in Fresno, CA, where I collaborated closely with the head coach to deliver specialized training sessions, focusing on technical proficiency, mental resilience, and strategic gameplay for elite program players from January 2019 to December 2021.

​

During the summer of 2022, I took the opportunity to coach in Zurich, Switzerland, and adapt my coaching methods to effectively communicate with non-English-speaking players, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the game.

​

At IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL, during the summer of 2023, I crafted detailed lesson plans, led group and individual classes, organized engaging competitions, and focused on elevating players' Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR) to contribute to their long-term success.

​

I've served as a Varsity Assistant Tennis Coach at Buchanan High School in Fresno, CA during the 2021-2022 season and at Immaculate Heart School in Los Angeles, CA during the 2022-2023 season, where I contributed to the development of young athletes.

​

On the playing front, my tennis journey started with early success at Bullard High School in Fresno, CA, where I clinched numerous titles including League Individual Champion, CIF Individual Champion, and CIF Doubles Runner-up and Third. These achievements culminated in being ranked Top 35 in California as a Junior and being honored as the Fresno Bee Athlete of the Year in 2015.

​

My success led me to standout performances at California State University - Los Angeles, where I achieved a career singles record of 47-29, earned All-PacWest Conference honors, and secured a regional ranking of 12th in NCAA D-II.

​

With my diverse tennis background both on- and off- the court, I bring a wealth of experience that I can't wait to share with my future students!
