Inspiration Academy

My Story:

I was raised in a tennis family which is where my passion about tennis is from. Starting to play tennis when I was four years old, I’ve always been with the JTI (Junior Tennis Initiative) of Cambodia until I was sixteen years old. I reached #1 in the nation and got selected to be in the National Team of Cambodia. I was one of the first Cambodian’s athlete to be recruited to play college in the US. I played for LCSC’s Warrior and achieved Bachelor degree in Information Technology. I have given lessons and coaching to kids, high schools, and adults in Cambodia also throughout my four years in LCSC. I worked as a tennis counselor in Camp Takajo for two summers.
Being here at IA was a recommendation from Robert Davis who was Cambodian’s National Team’s head coach, also former colleague to Ashley Hobson. Both Robert Davis and Paul Newman who is a former IA’s coach have encouraged me to pursue my tennis career as a coach at IA where no other place could offers.
IA is a place where I can share my experience as a tennis player myself and learning to be a high-performance tennis coach from one of most well-known coach Ashley Hobson.
