Heath Waters—Mentor
We are proud to have Heath Waters on board as a mentor for all the tennis players who join Score Tennis Academy.
Every professional tour player Heath Waters has ever coached has improved his or her ranking by a minimum of 140 spots within 12 months of working with him. In 2005, Ashley Harkleroad came out of retirement, and Heath coached her for eight months, until Heath agreed to a coaching contract with ATP Tour player Alex Bogomolov Jr. Over the eight months Heath coached Ashley on the WTA Tour, her ranking improved from 324 to 75 in the world. Along the way, Ashley won three professional titles and had a 35-9 win/loss record under Heath’s guidance. Heath also worked with Ashley from the time she was 8 up to the age of 15.
In addition, Heath coached ATP Tour player Alex Bogomolov Jr. from July 2005 to July 2006. Over that span, Alex improved his ranking from 275 to 120 in the world. Alex went on to win one singles professional title and two doubles titles. Alex also won against the top-10-ranked Fernando Gonzalez at the Australian Open. Alex also won while playing against top ATP players such as Ivo Karlovic, Sam Querry, Kei Nishikori, Julien Benneteau, and many other top-ranked ATP players while under Heath’s tutelage. Alex has kept it going in reaching a career-best 33 rank in the world.
Before Heath began coaching full-time on the professional tour, he was arguably the most successful junior tennis coach in the United States over the past decade. Every single one of Heath’s private students has achieved no less than a top 25 ranking in the United States. In fact, they’ve almost all reached the top 10 in the United States. Between 1996 and 2001, Heath’s junior students won over 20 gold balls (U.S. National Titles) and 20 International and National titles. Every student Heath Waters has ever coached privately for more than 24 months has gone on to play professional tennis. Every one of these students achieved a professional ranking, with the exception of one player who changed career paths. The highest achieved professional ranking of Heath’s junior students to date is 39 in the world, achieved by Ashley Harkleroad on the WTA.
Heath Waters created the world-renowned player development system known as the ACE Progressive Player Development System in the early ’90s. The program consists of a progressive player development system that keeps evolving as the great sport of tennis keeps growing. At Score Tennis Academy, each of our students is trained according to the ACE system.
