How Coach Shawna Barasch Wilson and Grand Slam champion Pam Shriver are changing the game of tennis
Shawna Barasch Wilson is the founder of SBW Tennis in West Los Angeles, CA and for the last 17 years, she has been running her academy mostly out of 9 private homes with courts in the Brentwood, CA area. As the coach of Pam Shriver’s son Sam, Shawna and Pam have come together to develop a concept called homecourt which is similar to an Airbnb model for private tennis courts. They will be rolling out the program in Los Angeles, Rhode Island, the Hamptons, Connecticut and more in partnership with TennisPal.
