Spencer Turner is from Washington DC, but calls the mean courts of Fort Greene Brooklyn home. He played competitively as a junior before taking a long break.  He currently plays Club Tennis at Wesleyan University where he is a Sophomore studying Film and Studio Art. Spencer has volunteered with a variety of USTA tennis and learning non-profits, and coaches both 1:1 and small group sessions. Spencer loves the unique way that our sport develops analytical problem solving skills while rewarding positive self-talk, courage, discipline and tenacity.  Outside the lines he appreciates how these on court skills and lessons become powerful tools for everyday life.
