Do you know someone (or just
know about someone) who has been
a pioneer in the tennis
industry, a real trailblazer who
has helped shake things up?
Racquet Sports Industry Magazine
would like to know about that
person. RSI is now in the second
year of running its “Pioneers in
Tennis” series of articles,
about trailblazers in the sport,
and is looking for nominations
for people to be featured in
future columns.
“Pioneers in Tennis” has carried
information about those who have
contributed to the industry on
all levels, from groundbreaking
athletes like Billie Jean King,
to journalists like Gene Scott,
to those who have studied the
science of ball/racquet
interactions like Dr. Howard
Brody, to coaches like Vic
Braden, to community activists
like Eve Kraft, to those who
have advanced the sport through
racquet technology like Warren
Bosworth, to the organizers of
the Super Show. And those are
just a few. Pioneers are those
who have made outstanding
contributions to the sport and
to the industry -- which as we
all know, has many levels of
specialty and expertise.
ASBA members have been
recognized too: Sheldon
Westervelt, Bob Lee and Peggy
Beard have all made the column,
for their roles in advancing
sports facility design and
construction, association
leadership and more.
Now it’s your turn to help put
the spotlight on someone you
feel has been a pioneer. RSI
welcomes nominations from you.
Pioneers don’t have to be ASBA
members, though -- maybe it’s
someone else in the industry you
think should be recognized for
helping the sport move forward.
