<p> Occasionally, an <a href="http://www.austintennisacademy.com/Alumni/index.html">Austin Tennis Academy alum</a> will check-in with one of our coaches, and update us on their life after <a href="http://www.austintennisacademy.com">ATA</a>. We like to share these with you, because they are the best possible testament to the efforts and goals of our staff and mission. Recently, <strong>Blake Davis</strong> checked-in with <a href="http://www.austintennisacademy.com/staff.aspx">Coach Newman</a>. See what he had to say about life as a student-athlete at <a href="http://www.seminoles.com/sports/m-tennis/fsu-m-tennis-body.html">Florida State University</a> :</p>
