Brand Building to Offset Tennis Costs ft. Anthony & Gwyneth Britton

Welcome to Season 13 Episode 5 of the ParentingAces Podcast, a proud member of the Tennis Channel Podcast Network . In this week's episode, we will be looking at one family's solution to the high costs of junior tennis development and competition. When Gwyneth Britton, now 11 years old, was just barely out of diapers, her dad, Anthony, noticed several outstanding qualities in her. She was tenacious. She was competitive. And she loved to ham it up for the camera. After introducing Gwyneth to tennis by hitting some balls on a neighborhood court, Anthony also saw she had great hand-eye coordination and a love for the game. That skill and love were also noticed by area coaches and the USTA as well as some brands that needed a young model to showcase their offerings. That was the start of Gwyneth's tennis and modeling career and the start of a mission to use Gwyneth's skills on and off the court to help fund her tennis development. The two Brittons share their lessons learned - so far! - and offer tips on how other families can use appropriate branding to offset the expense of our sport. In 2024, Gwyneth is releasing her first children's book entitled THE SUMMER CAMP CHAMP based on her experiences training at a new facility with a new coach. We will update the show notes with a link to purchase the book once it's available. For more information, be sure to follow Gwyneth on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/gwyneth.britton/ .
