DENTON — North Texas tennis head coach Sujay Lama has added experienced volunteer assistant Taylor Jackson to the team's well-rounded staff.
Jackson, a Dallas-Fort Worth native, was a two-time all-conference women's tennis honoree at Methodist University where she was also a captain for her final two seasons. In addition to her success on the court, Jackson twice made the President's List before her graduation in May 2021.
"We are super excited to have Taylor join our coaching staff," Lama said. "Her passion for the game and college coaching really stood out when we were looking for the right fit for our team. Her background in sports psychology and having been a former student-athlete will be a huge asset for our team We are heavily invested in using science and technology to become an elite program and Taylor will play an enormous role in that area as well."
Jackson earned her undergraduate degree in Psychosocial Aspects of Sport and Coaching from Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She is planning on pursuing a Master's degree at UNT in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition to her success on the court and in the classroom, Jackson has worked at the Winston-Salem Open ATP 250, Camp Agawak for Girls and the Hurst Tennis Center.
"I am so excited to join the Mean Green family," Jackson said. "The values and goals of this program perfectly align with mine. I'm looking forward to a great year ahead and all the big things this program will achieve."
The Mean Green tennis team returns next season five key contributors from last season's team including two all-conference honorees. They also are welcoming a talented incoming crop of newcomers who are expected to compete for top positions in the lineups.
