Gordon Uehling Founder and Managing Director Gordon, a former ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) world-ranked player both in singles and doubles, is the visionary behind the CourtSense program. Gordon was honored by the United States Olympic Committee and the United States Tennis Association for his outstanding contributions to using sports science in the game of tennis in 2013. At a young age, Gordon excelled in multiple sports which helped prepare him for his true passion in tennis. Gordon believes deeply in developing children to be fit, agile, responsible, and in their earlier pre-teen years to be trained in a variety of sports. He had long dreamed of developing a top-quality multi- faceted instructional program that integrates all of these values, a program he had often wished was available to him as a junior player. During his last three years on the tour, Gordon trained under Jose Higueras, one of the most accomplished coaches in tennis, and travelled with Coach Carlos Cano, currently Director of Player Development and Coaches at CourtSense. He also worked with Dr. James Loehr, recognized as the most influential sports psychologist in tennis, and later was a student of his work. While on tour, Gordon trained with top world-ranked players such as Pete Sampras, Jim Courier and Todd Martin. Through these extraordinary experiences, Gordon gained an extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of the game of tennis. He is currently part of Novak Djokovic's coaching team (Currently #1 in the world) as an advisor/consultant and was part of Christina McHale's coaching team from 12 years old to her early 20's (highest ranking 22 in the world WTA and United States Olympian at the 2012 London games). In the past Gordon has worked with world class players, Vince Spadea (formerly #19 in the world), Dmitry Tursunov (formerly #21 in the world) and Luis Flores (formerly #9 in the world in ITF Juniors), among many others. Gordon, along with GM Ogi Nikolovski and Director of Coaches Carlos Cano have worked tirelessly developing and handpicking the best coaches from around the world. .

US Open Sportsmanship.Pdf
...It’s How You Pl aythe Game Sportsmanship is an integral part of every match, from junior tennis to the pros. BY KENT OSWALD It is odd how often tennis sportsmanship surprises us. In the first-set tie-break of his quarterfinal match this year at Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic feath - ered a drop shot that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga barely reached before flicking it wide. Walking back to the baseline to prepare to receive serve, Djokovic heard the umpire announce the point in his favor and immediately corrected the chair. Djokovic explained that Tsonga’s shot had nicked his racquet. Even on replays, it was practically impossible to see the contact. But Djokovic knew; he conceded the point. A couple months later, Djokovic found himself on the other side of doing the right thing when Andy Murray protested a time violation warning that had been issued to Djokovic in the final of the Madrid Masters. Djokovic was serving at 30-all, 4-2 in the deciding set when the chair ruled he was taking too long to serve. Murray marched over to the chair. “I’m the one [who] was keeping him waiting,” Murray said. “He was at the line about five seconds before me.” In both cases, there was discussion of how unusual it all was. It is as if sportsmanship is a new concept, when, in fact, it has been part of the game almost from the beginning. In 1881, the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (forerunner of today’s USTA) formed tennis’s first national governing body.
