Expert Profile: Jim Leupold

Expertise:  I feel very confident answering any questions regarding technical aspects of the game - from stroke production to strategy. My strengths, because of my extensive training, is keeping the game very simple, energy-efficient and effective, eliminating injuries and mistakes at the same time.

Experience in the area
I've been the director of tennis and teaching tennis fulltime for 21 years, 19 at one of the top tennis resorts in the US and the world, the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, CA. I've traveled to 20 countries around the world, playing and teaching tennis and performing comedic and entertaining tennis shows. I work with Peter Burwash International (PBI), a company which trains professionals for 400 hours before the first lesson can be taught. That's compounded by continuing education, including a mandatory 60-hour annual meeting and 360 educational newsletters from PBI professionals received every year.

Peter Burwas International (PBI), the world's foremost tennis management company with 90 professionals in 20 countries worldwide

Education/Credentials
I received a B.A. in Journalism in 1985.
