Wilson Racket Sports is proud to announce that Peter Smith, a two-time ITA National Coach of the Year, will be the Keynote Speaker at the 2018 TTCA Convention to be held at Horseshoe Bay Resort on December 7-9 this year. Smith, who has guided the USC Trojans to five NCAA Championships in the past nine seasons, will present on court sessions during the weekend along with participating in the Wilson Racket Sports Coach of the Year and Hall of Fame Awards Banquet on Friday, December 7.

Smith has spent 31 years as a college coach, mentoring three individual NCAA Champions and 15 Conference Champions along the way.  He has 25 years of experience directing academy and camps. As a player, he has won 18 national titles and is a nine-time Father-Son National Champion.  (More details about Smith’s accomplishments are available on the USC website.)

“Not only has Peter Smith had a storied coaching career, but his sessions will be particularly relevant since he is still at the helm of one of the most prestigious programs in the nation,” commented TTCA Executive Director Bobby Kleinecke.  “Our coaches across the state will have an opportunity to learn from one of the very best.”

“I have never been to, or been part of, an organization like the TTCA where people want to learn and get better,” stated Smith.   “I do hope that I can help all of them in some small way become better coaches.  I look forward to sharing the energy that so many coaches create.”

Wilson Racket Sports has generously been the name sponsor of the convention for almost 40 years. Over 500 coaches gather together annually to learn, rejuvenate, and share ideas with each other. The convention also features over 35 booths at the Trade Show, where vendors from across the nation exhibit their products. This year’s convention marks the fourth year the event has been held at Horseshoe Bay Resort.
