Meet Coach Megan

I am excited to join Trizzino Tennis Academy and bring both my playing and coaching experience to the program. My tennis journey began as a junior player and led me to compete collegiately for four years at Christopher Newport University, where I was fortunate to be part of the first women’s tennis team in program history to win a conference championship and qualify for the NCAA Tournament in 2024, an accomplishment that remains one of the highlights of my playing career.

After graduating, I transitioned into coaching as the Head Assistant Coach for Women’s Tennis at Christopher Newport University. While pursuing my master’s degree, I have spent the past two years helping lead the program and am excited to continue in that role for a third season. During that time, I’ve helped coach two additional conference championship teams, contributing to CNU’s current three-year conference title streak, while also mentoring individual players who have advanced to compete in the NCAA Tournament. Beyond collegiate coaching, I have spent the last eight years working with junior players of all ages and skill levels. From beginners picking up a racquet for the first time to high-level junior and collegiate competitors and I truly enjoy helping players grow at every stage of development.

As a coach, I believe in developing the complete player - technically, physically, and mentally. Tennis is an incredibly demanding sport, especially from a mental standpoint, and I believe that side of the game deserves just as much attention as the technical and physical aspects. My goal is to help every athlete build confidence, resilience, and a mindset that allows them to perform at their best. Most importantly, I want every player I coach to know that I believe in them. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, honest, and challenging—where players feel encouraged while also being pushed to reach their highest level of passion, performance, and potential.

A note from Chris:

Megan is meant to be on a tennis court. She doesn’t play around when it comes to coaching! The moment she steps on court, it’s obvious that her goal is to make a difference with every player she works with.Her ability to connect with players, understand what they need, and bring out the best in them creates a value that goes far beyond the tennis court.

We are extremely fortunate to have a coach like Megan at Trizzino Tennis Academy. I have 100% trust in her and know she will play an important role in helping so many young athletes grow, develop, and achieve their goals.
