The Peach Review™
Tennis coach to published author The motivational story of Desmond McLennon Desmond Mclennon holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunications, but he’ll be the first to tell you that his first love is tennis. “I’ve loved tennis since my dad first introduced me to the sport when I was 8 years old. It’s stuck with me all these years and even paid for my way through college.” On a whim, he went to visit a friend in Alabama and got discovered. “I was on a court with a random coach and told me to give it all I had. So after I beat all of his students one after another, another gentleman approached me and asked ‘I’d like to give you a tennis scholarship,’ and who can say no to free money?” And so that’s how the 30 year old Jamaican-Canadian immigrant from Toronto earned a full ride to college in the state of Alabama. Strings and Grips His love for Tennis hasn’t stopped. Now that he’s living in Atlanta he’s a tennis instructor full-time and loves every minute of it. “Tennis is my passion, so its not really work for me. I love it!” He’s so passionate for the game that he published a children’s book. So he can share with children how much fun tennis can be and to share the joy that he felt as a young child. His debut book “Strings and Grips” has sold over 800 copies in the state of georgia alone. Eventually he’s going to go back home and attempt to make headway up north. “It’s good to go to my home market and test the waters.” All content and images are property of The Peach Review™ unless otherwise noted
