    Coach Widener is an excellent tennis instructor and an inspiring mentor. He helps to develop all aspects of the player, including technique, fitness, strategy, confidence, resilience, focus, a winning mindset, setting goals, and achieving. My daughter loves tennis but has grown tremendously as a player under Coach Wideners instruction and mentorship.

    Donald is an extraordinary tennis coach. His experience is on the professional level and his teaching style works well with both adults as well as youth; the novice as well as the experienced. He taught me more in an hour than most would teach in months. Hes definitely the best out there! -Kristi Watts
