Traci Green Makes Tennis History

Traci Green is a home grown Philadelphian who is doing outstanding things in the tennis world. After graduating college, she began her college coaching career at Temple University as head Coach of the varsity women's tennis team. Her workman like presence and status immediately elevated the program. After three years at Temple she landed the historic position as the first African American tennis coach at the prestigious Harvard University.

She made history this past season by her team's winning the Ivy League women's tennis championships. We are so very proud of her and her success. Her success is no accident. With parents Frank, Sr. and Tina her current successes come from nurturing parents who made sure thought out the formative years that a sound foundation for success was paramount.

Stay tuned, you will be hearing more from this outstanding young lady. By the way she has a younger brother Frank, Jr., who recently graduated college and is a teaching tennis professional in the area. These two outstanding young people are examples of what can be done when you have parents who are willing to go the extra mile to make sure their youngsters are not short changed and prepared for opportunity when it knocks.
