Testimonials

I have known Todd since he was 10 years old and it has been a great moment in my life being able to coach him and being part of his many tennis accomplishments. He has a good tennis foundation, from being # 1 in the USTA Boys 18 National Rankings , passing to being twice nominated All American, and reaching a ranking of # 200 on the ATP tour. Since his retirement , and with his tennis experience , he has already been a force in the development of various high performance junior and profesional players. He is one of the few best well kept secrets in coaching.

I have known Todd for about 14 years. Todd achieved his success on and off the court using sheer determination. His character and moral value allowed him to compete on the ATP tour against many of the worlds best players, enjoying wins at Grand Slams, Masters events, Tour events and challengers. Todd will apply his knowledge and experience of professional tennis to his pupils and impose high demands upon them. He is the type of person that will enhance the quality of his pupils lives and more importantly, will care about them.

I have known Todd for many years and he is both a friend and a confidant. Todd is extremely professional both on and off the tennis court. His tennis knowledge surpasses most of the traditional tennis coaches' way of thinking and I would encourage any aspiring college or professional tennis player to work with Todd to reach their highest potential. Todd has provided unique insight into my game helping me reach a top 100 ranking on the ATP World Tour and I strongly believe he can do the same for you.
- Michael Russell, Top 60 ATP Professional


Todd and I used to be practice partners for years. We used to have great battles in practice. He is as dedicated to tennis as anybody I know. A great tactician that really knows how to use your own stengths and exploit the opponents weaknesses.
- Benjamin Becker, Top 40 ATP Professional


Todd Widom has been the best thing that has happened to us. My son Ryan was previously at a tennis academy where we became frustrated and did not know where to turn for help. I left the tennis academy feeling like we were simply being taken for money. Todd not only promised an all-inclusive experience, he delivered beyond our expectations. Ryan had daily workouts with no more than 2 players on a court and had the best fitness training that he ever received. Before training with Todd, Ryan had cramped in several key tournaments and had to withdraw. After training with Todd at a professional level, Ryan had not had an issue with cramping, even in 3+ hour matches! The training, tournament travel, coaching, nutrition instruction and guidance in all areas gave Ryan the tools and confidence that he needed to meet his goals. Todd was always hands on and kept the promises he made. My only regret is that Ryan started working with him when he did and not sooner in his tennis career.
- Ann Boudreaux, Mother of Ryan Hudelson


I finally know what it is like to train like a professional tennis player and the level of commitment it takes to be successful. The fitness and on court training is unlike any I had before working with Todd. I improved so quickly and I never thought I could get so good so fast. Todd worked me out at a level I did not know existed. At the previous academy I was at, I never trained like this. Todd prepared me both physically and mentally, and I finally had the game and confidence I needed. My goal had always been to play for a NCAA Division I school and actually play for them, not sit on the bench. That goal was not looking good until I started training with Todd. With a lot of hard work, we turned that around quickly. Without Todd, my dreams of playing tennis in college would not have come true. He is the best coach I have ever worked with and a great friend. Thanks Coach!!
- Ryan Hudelson, Junior Tennis Player


Todd's experiences from his highly successful junior career, stellar college career and top 200 ranking on the pro tour gives him a unique perspective with his players. Todd's passion, honesty and devotion to his players is rare. I run a very successful tennis academy in Brandon, FL which has sent over 50 kids to college on scholarships over the last 10 years and I never hesistate to send my students to Todd for some invaluable extra training! I've known Todd since he was 10 and we were also teammates at The University of Miami and he always succeeds. If he has nearly as much success being a coach as he had in his tennis career, he will produce MANY great players! I would highly reccommend any serious junior players that are looking to play at an extremely high level to work with Todd!
- Andrew Golub, Brandon Sports and Aquatic Center Tennis Academy


For ambitious junior players, Todd Widom provides a proven, yet unique approach for players to maximize their full potential. With his wealth of experience battling the highest levels of junior, college and professional tennis, combined with his comprehensive program for physical and mental development, Todd can personalize a plan that sets him apart from other programs. I see all the positive attributes he learned as a player being passed down to his students. As a player Todd was relentless with every aspect of his game. He was exceptionally routine-oriented and set himself apart from more talented players due to his work ethic, practice regimen and physical conditioning. With his expanded expertise in body work, massage therapy and biomechanics, he is uniquely qualified to offer a program that is much more personalized and focused than the vast majority in the industry.
- Billy Pate, Head Coach, University of Alabama


Devotion to his kids is simply amazing. He focuses on all the aspects of the development of championship level of performance. He covered all areas in our training that made our week very beneficial. Plus, he taught my son life lessons along the way. This is why we will always have a long and lasting relationship with Todd.
- Matt and Carolyn Harrison, Parents of Junior Tennis Player


Todd is one of those rare individuals who tackles all endeavors with 100% effort and dedication. He has distinguished himself at the junior, college and professional levels and he has the experience and expertise to give appropriate advice at each step along a tennis player's journey. He makes the development of his students priority #1 and he takes any and all failures to excel personally. I unequivocally recommend Todd Widom as a coach for any serious young tennis player.
- Ian Duvenhage, Head Coach, Vanderbilt University


Todd's tennis experience and education will give him a unique perspective as he can relate extremely well to the demands of a professional lifestyle. In addition, Todd's passion for athletics and commitment to helping others will be cornerstones as he expands his business model.

I have known Todd Widom for over fifteen years. As a player he was someone who maximized his athletic abilities because of his great understanding of the physical, technical, and competitive nature of the sport of tennis. His experience as one of the top US juniors, as a collegian,and finally as a professional player will be invaluable as a coach. I am excited to see the players that he can produce in the next several years.
