Building Confidence, Skills, and a Path to Success
My Journey To Founding CollegeBound
Hi, I’m Matthew Fowler, the founder of CollegeBound Tennis Academy.
Growing up, my family and I were unfamiliar with the world of sports, and I was the only one with a passion for tennis.
We didn’t know what effective tennis coaching looked like or how to find the right support. This often left me feeling like I was navigating the tennis world alone.
As a shy kid, asking for help was tough, and many coaches seemed more focused on collecting fees than on my growth as a player. They would often ignore or be unwilling to offer guidance beyond our allotted time, leaving me without the support and care I longed for in a coach.
I eventually reached college tennis at Sonoma State, but even then, I felt I could have achieved more or at least felt better prepared if I had a coach who truly looked out for me and guided me through the process.
This gap in my own tennis journey is what inspired me to create CollegeBound Tennis Academy and be the supportive and dedicated partner I wished I had, offering personalized, comprehensive coaching that prioritizes your individual needs.
