Jeff Wilson completed his first year as an assistant coach in 2019-20 during a season shortened by COVID-19.

Throughout his 20 year professional coaching career, Wilson has coached players at the ITF, Challenger, ATP and WTA level. He has coached players in over 30 Grand Slam events and nearly ever Masters Series across six continents.

He has worked with Brandon Coupe (ATP #61), Michael Hill (ATP #78), Kiki Bertens (WTA #4), Johanna Larsson (WTA #48), Irina Falconi (WTA #73) and Chanelle Shepard (WTA #38).

In 2016, Wilson founded the South Carolina Junior Tennis Foundation and has been serving as director ever since, helping fund advancing players in need and delivering student-athlete drive fundraisers in local communities.

During this time, he was also the co-founder and president of MW Tennis Academy, where he was responsible for staffing, budgeting, payroll, coaching and player development. He held this position until November of 2018.

While Wilson has a good amount of tennis academy experience, he has also coached at some well-known universities, including Duke, Georgia Institute of Technology and San Jose State.

As an assistant college tennis coach, he helped guide Vanessa Webb and Amanda McDowell to NCAA Singles titles in 1998 and 2008, respectively, won multiple ACC Conference Championship titles at Duke and Georgia Tech, and helped lead his teams to two team Final Four appearances at Duke in 1998 and 1999.

He has traveled the world 35 weeks per year as a pro level touring coach and has coached six players ranked in the top 100 in the world, including the No. 1 players in Sweden and South Africa.

Wilson graduated from San Jose State in 1992 with a degree in human performance and sports psychology. He and his wife, Kim, have three children: Reilly (who plays tennis at Navy), Susie-Jane and Liam.
