Testimonials

“I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for my tennis student, Hudson Chossek, whom I have had the privilege of coaching for the past three years. From the moment I began working with Hudson, he stood out as being coachable, and intelligent, asking thoughtful and inquisitive questions. Now, as a sophomore in high school, Hudson has already demonstrated a level of initiative and maturity that is uncommon for his age. What I admire most is his genuine desire to give back, mentoring younger players, helping others improve, and contributing positively to his community. His willingness to lead and serve others speaks volumes about the kind of person he is becoming. Over the past three years, Hudson has shown consistent growth as a tennis player. Not only at my training does Hudson show disciplined effort, but it is not uncommon for me to see him practicing serves by himself at a random court somewhere in Santa Barbara. Through hard work and commitment to his goals, he has developed into a consistent player, someone I can confidently challenge at a higher level. His progress reflects not only his work ethic, but also his ability to apply feedback and stay committed to long term development. Hudson is a young athlete with strong integrity, a growing sense of leadership, and a sincere desire to contribute beyond himself. I have no doubt that he will continue to develop as a player, teammate, and community member. I recommend him as a resource for up and coming athletes both for his skill level and ability to do a job well. I am confident he will be a positive asset.”

“When it comes to Hudson Chossek’s tennis hitting you can be assured he is a passionate nurturer of people, and for whom the experience of tennis is competitive and positive he is extraordinary. The level of strategic intelligence, ease of communication and rewarding play are high level with Hudson. My son who is 12 years old has been on the court with him over the last 6 months. The time is always high level with complete awareness and attention. When you add in a great sense of human kindness and motivation you have a dynamic and impressive young man.”

“We discovered Hudson’s tennis academy by coincidence and are soooo happy we did. My two kiddos (10 and 7) are learning all the basics, fundamentals, and coordination around tennis now with Hudson. I am a retired tennis teacher myself, and know how important it is to have fun with what you are learning. Hudson has lots of energy and a positive approach, making it so much more interesting. He knows what he is doing and he is passionate about it!!!”
