Staff Winners 

Get to Know Claudio 

   
ClaudioArmandi How well do you know Claudio Armandi, our Director of Junior Tennis? Get to know him better by reading this interview:

How did you end up at YTC? I used to work for the USTA, and Simon and I both knew of one another. We had a meeting and decided that I was a good fit for what YTC was looking for!

You were instrumental in implementing Skills Reports for the junior program this year. Why was that so important? Simple. Parents would like to see a performance indicator to let them know how their child is doing in tennis. It is the best way to be able to give them feedback and keep them informed.

Soccer BallWhat is something that our customers would be surprised to learn about you? I'm just as good of a soccer player as I am a tennis player! Also, I am fluent in Romanian and I understand Italian very well.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Greece. It's so close to where I grew up [Romania] but the climate and food is very different, and there are so many islands I'd like to visit.

What is the #1 thing on your Bucket List? To attend all 4 Grand Slams!

Last but not least, who is your favorite tennis player? Growing up, I idolized Pete Sampras. Now, I am a big fan of Federer.
