Coach Brian Notis, a certified member of the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), recently received recognition for outstanding participation in the association’s continuing education program.

Coach Notis, Director of Junior Academy for Austin Tennis Academy, was awarded a Level 1 Certificate of Achievement for earning 26 credits in the USPTA’s Career Development Program over a one-year period.

“As an association, we know that career development is vital to our tennis-teaching professionals and coaches,” said USPTA CEO John Embree. “Through our Career Development Program, we are ensuring all USPTA-certified members are equipped with the knowledge and skills to enhance their careers. To see our members taking advantage of those educational opportunities and striving to earn more than the minimum education requirement personifies a commitment to personal and professional excellence.”
