Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Coach Henry Rodas Mejía! 🇨🇴

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to celebrate Coach Henry Rodas Mejía, a Colombian tennis professional whose passion for the game and dedication to developing players span more than 33 years of coaching experience!🌎🎾

Originally from Colombia, Coach Henry holds an ITF Level 3 coaching certification, is a registered PTR tennis professional, and has a background in sports training and public administration. His impressive international career has taken him to prestigious tennis programs and clubs in Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, and the United States, including IMG Academy in Florida.

Now at Cooper Tennis Complex, Coach Henry is excited to help with our tennis development programs while inspiring players of all ages. His philosophy goes beyond the court: using tennis to help children develop healthy, active lifestyles from an early age, building habits and values that will support their physical and mental well-being throughout their lives. He believes tennis can be a powerful tool to help young people grow, reach their potential, and build a healthier, happier future. ❤️🎾

We’re excited to have Coach Henry as part of our tennis family and proud to celebrate the experience, culture, and passion he brings to our community!

¡Gracias, Coach Henry, por compartir tu pasión por el tenis con nuestra comunidad! 🇨🇴🙌
