Congratulations to the 2025 Hurd Award Champions, Finalists, and Semi-finalists! For the second year, YPI has been thrilled to partner with Universal Tennis Foundation and #HurdAwards to support these exceptional young athletes. πππ
The Champions, Finalists, and Semi-finalists will participate in an all-expenses-paid leadership and personal development training and seminar, which will be conducted by the Youth Performance Institute (βYPIβ) at their campus in Alpine, NJ. During this training, they will have the opportunity to have a recent match evaluated by GOTTA Analytics, where actionable suggestions for improving their match tactics will be provided. The seminar will include the development of life, leadership, and mentorship skills based on the work of renowned performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr and his 40+ year career and research-backed skills, which are intended to support these players both in their tennis career and to help overcome personal challenges, advance their talents, and live their healthiest and best lives. Furthermore, the training will introduce players to the latest recovery tools and methods, designed to enhance their fitness and extend the longevity of their tennis career.
