THE EVERT TENNIS ACADEMY STUDENT CORE VALUES
John and Chrissie continue their father’s coaching legacy by instilling four core values: Excellence, Resilience, Integrity and Leadership.
“Our core values are the roadmap to coaching all student-athletes toward reaching their full potential.” – John Evert
Excellence: Evert Tennis Academy players are motivated in the pursuit of excellence. Every aspect of our program is designed to foster an environment where student-athletes strive to reach their personal best.
Resilience: On court practices, strength and conditioning sessions, academic classes, and competition constantly stretch players out of their comfort zones. Facing adversity allows players to overcome temporary setbacks and is key to building resilience in competition and in life.
Integrity: Evert Tennis Academy players are held to a high ethical standard. Student-athletes are constantly encouraged to achieve competitive goals without compromising their most important core values.
Leadership: Leaders are positive role models who have a profound influence on other student athletes. Student-athletes at the Evert Tennis Academy are encouraged to set an example by inspiring other players to reach their maximum potential.
