About Dr. Judy Murray
Judy
Murray is a former Scottish international tennis player with 64 national titles
to her name. She became Scottish National Coach in 1995, the same year that she
became the first woman to pass the Lawn Tennis Association's Performance Coach
Award. She initiated the Scottish National Development Schools program targeting 20 kids aged 8 to 11, which ultimately produced four Davis Cup players
and one Fed Cup player, including her Grand-Slam-winning sons, Jamie and Andy.
In 2011 Judy was appointed Captain of the British Fed Cup and has used this
role to grow the profile and numbers in women’s tennis as well as increase and
improve the female coach workforce. Judy has developed several initiatives
including Miss-Hits – a fun starter tennis program for girls aged 5–8 and
Tennis on the Road – a mobile outreach program which takes tennis into areas
of Scotland where the sport doesn't exist.
