Mike Robertson (TPC Sugarloaf)

• Hometown   Indianapolis, Indiana       Club/Facility you currently teach at?   TPC Sugarloaf (Director of Racquet Sports)       How did you get involved in teaching tennis?   I started playing at a young age and teaching was a natural evolution as I went through school.  After college I started in college coaching and transitioned to being an independent contractor before moving to a full-time  position at a club.       Diehard fan of what sports team?   Indianapolis Colts       Best part of your game?   Probably crushing forehands but I like to think it's being an all-around player       Dream doubles match would be me and....   Katie Mays as a partner taking down Gael Monfils & Elina Svitolina         When I'm not teaching tennis I'm.....   Spending time outdoors or trying not to be so bad at golf       My favorite tennis memory is...   Zonals as a junior for Team Southern was some of the  most fun I've ever had as a tennis player.  Spending time at the University of Texas and competing against other top players from across the country.       My favorite pro player is....   Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Carlos Alcaraz       #1 reason why I enjoy teaching & coaching tennis   It's hard to pick just one reason but contributing to the  growth of a person's athletic endeavors along with the  building of self-confidence in others is incredibly rewarding. Working with others is really what it's all about.       What important tennis message do you want to promote?   I appreciate all of the aspects of tennis and what it does for me.  Tennis puts a premium on integrity, problem  solving, working with others, competing...the list goes on forever.  The only limits that tennis may have are the  limits I put on it.  Tennis makes me a healthier human and I'll always give back for that!
