Faculty Spotlight: Tommy Valentini

Steve Wilkinson Endowed Professor of Sports Ethics and Tennis Tommy Valentini (Philosophy/Athletics) gave the Keynote Address at the United States Tennis Association’s Northern Section Annual Conference/Tennis Weekend, where the theme was “Elevating Your Tennis Journey.” In the address delivered on November 15, Valentini discussed ways in which we make the most of our tennis journey as players, parents, coaches, and leaders in the industry. Valentini shared his personal journey and philosophy as a player and coach of championship teams, a parent of young athletes, and a professor of sports ethics in order to empower students to become better versions of themselves as players and people as they learn to be intentional, grow, and let go through their tennis.
