Youth Tennis San Diego CEO Ryan Redondo and his team aren’t just teaching tennis, they are changing lives.
Ryan Redondo was a guest on Digital Hospitality, where we sat courtside on a beautiful San Diego fall day at the Barnes Tennis Center to talk about the future of tennis, his life and career, and how technology is being adopted in traditionally offline businesses and organizations like at Youth Tennis San Diego.
“We provide tennis, education, and all the physical, mental and holistic things that kids need but don’t get,” said Ryan Redondo. “We provide that to kids in the city and hopefully some of them come back to the Barnes Tennis Center.”
Understanding the highs of success and lows of burnout, Ryan Redondo is able to share his lessons to all levels. The best lesson? A quote from his college coach at San Diego State, John Nelson.

“Blossom where you’re planted,” recites Ryan Redondo.
“I took that every step of the way and it changed my career. I feel like I’m here today because of that.”

Being present, and blossoming each place he was at, has made Ryan a man that continues to grow and also helps others grow.

The annual Youth Tennis San Diego Win the Match Gala had to be held virtually in 2020 because of the pandemic. It's one of many ways the nonprofit is adapting to a digital reality. #winthematch2020
