“The best part for me is to watch the development of a student and the look in their eyes when they’re understanding. To watch a player grow is like watching your own child grow up. It really is a joy to see that development occur and watch the elation, and sometimes even the frustration, that comes with it.”
-Craig Healy

Background:

  • Born in Atlanta, Georgia
  • Began playing tennis at age 5

Personal Information:

Craig spent 2 years at UT and 1 year at West Georgia University and satellites Guadalajara, Mexico. He finished with a B.A degree in Spanish and Biochemistry. Craig is married with twins Gina and CJ, 4 years old; they currently live in Peachtree City.

Philosophy on the Game:

I try to teach kids to love the game of tennis and help them understand the basic techniques of tennis. This way, even if they participate in other sports they will always be able to go out and play tennis at a high level. Tennis is the sport of a lifetime.

Fun Facts about Craig:

I grew up a top ranked junior tennis player and an All State selection in football, basketball and tennis. I do not feel this reflects my ability to be a great teacher. I feel that means that I grew up with great teachers and hopefully I have absorbed their expertise and have combined them with my own to influence the way that I teach today. Hopefully I get to pass on the same lessons to my students. The biggest thing that I believe is that you have to support the people that support you.

Initially, Craig was a special education teacher for one year for the City of Atlanta public schools after he graduated. In 1997, Craig started teaching tennis professionally. Has been employed by Peachtree Tennis Center for 3 ½ years now. Craig has coached traveling basketball teams (AAU) and attends the Holy Trinity Church. He is interested in his family, landscaping, golf and basketball.

Career Highlights:

Having teams and individuals that I coached win GPTA Team of the Year 2000, I have received multiple local, state, and southern titles. We won the State Champions title in Junior USTA. We were also winners of the Georgia-Florida challenge. Sportsmanship award winners make me extremely proud. I do not look at my own accomplishments for validation anymore, as much as I look to the results of my students.

Craig was voted GPTA Pro of the year finalist multiple times. He is NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning specialist, USPTA P-1, CPR certified and Wilson Advisory Staff.

Craig works with beginners, advanced, women, and more. He feels that he has the ability to work with all levels as he has done so throughout his career. He runs the Junior USTA Division and within that enjoys working with levels 10 and under (beginners) to 18 and under (advanced). Also, has a great rapport with ladies ALTA/USTA teams and has taught numerous division, city champions and state champions.
