“I
decided to begin this company because, over the last 20 years,
I have been asked, many times, to ‘find a Pro.’ It’s
something the industry needs to continue to grow the game.”

"Working with Tennis Priorities was a wonderful experience.
Teaching tennis has always been a part of my life and Denny
made my growth possible. Denny made sure my interview and
hiring at Four Lakes Athletic Club was a well prepared process.
I am really enjoying my position and Denny made sure this
environment was one that I would feel comfortable in."

"I
highly recommend this service to anyone in the club industry
looking to find a job or fill a position. Denny took the
time to meet with me and understand my situation before
trying to place me. He gave me the opportunity to interview
for positions that were unpublished with high quality clubs.
His connections in the industry allowed me to find a place
where I could fit in and make a living teaching the sport
that I love. Denny made the stressful experience of changing
jobs a very pleasant one. Everyone looking or filling a
position in the tennis industry needs this service."

"I
come from a tennis family in Michigan, but I have always
dreamed of living and working in the Chicago area. I met
Denny through my former boss, Jorge Capestany, of the DeWitt
Tennis Center in Holland, MI shortly after graduating from
college. I turned to him to help me with my job search.
Within no time I had a phone call from a club, an interview
the next week, and a job offer a couple of days later. Within
3 weeks my dream came true; I have a great job at a great
Club with great people."
