Abdul Jordan | Racquet Sports Leader

I am a racquet sports leader, coach, and program operator with more than 25 years of professional coaching experience across private, public, parks and recreation, and commercial facilities. I have led athlete-centered tennis and pickleball programs, developed coaches, and built welcoming facility experiences that connect performance, participation, and community.

My leadership approach begins with connection, pairing clear standards, thoughtful people management, and measurable results. I am pursuing racquet sports and recreation leadership opportunities where I can guide inclusive, sustainable operations; expand access; and develop the next generation of players, coaches, and community partners. Above all, I remain committed to giving back to Parks & Recreation and the communities that have given so much to me.
