Mark Weil: The Ups & Downs of Tennis Academy Life and Why Grigor Trained at Weil

Mark Weil tells us all about how he dreamt up the Weil Tennis Academy...an academy that even Grigor Dimitrov has spent time training at! Founded in 1997 in Ojai, CA Weil was the first full-time boarding school and academy on the West Coast. He talks to us about his passion for tennis, why he created what he did and all the ups and downs in between. Learn the traits he looks for in players and his best, and worst moments as the founder and Director of the Weil Academy.

They have trained and placed over 400 US and international students in prestigious American universities. In 2019, the Weil Academy is considered by many to be one of the most successful full time, high performance academies and they have a reputation of not only placing the most players into college programs of their choice, but also preparing these players for success at the college level. Mark Weil chats with us about how he got started in tennis, how he began the Weil Academy, what sort of players he looks for and the key traits of successful academy kids.
