MEDIA BIO
Jonathan Bailin, Ph.D., USPTA
Jonathan has been a USPTA Certified Tennis Professional for over 25 years.
Dr. Bailin coached at nine NCAA tournaments while Assistant Tennis Coach and Sports
Medicine Consultant for the Women's Tennis Team at the University of Southern
California. During this time he finished a Ph.D. in Sports Medicine for
performing forearm injury research supported by the US Tennis Association.
As a Volunteer Coach, Jonathan helped Hamilton High School athletics to its first
undefeated season in history and first CIF City Championship in tennis. He also
helped El Camino Junior College men to their first conference tennis title.
Jonathan's years of community service include many more "firsts". He was a staff
member in the Youth Services Department of the L.A. Olympic Organizing Committee,
the first to send over 100,000 "at risk" children to Olympic events for free. He
also started the first regional sports science committee in the tennis industry.
They provided continuing education courses to coaches and cutting edge information
for athletes in many sports and performing arts.
In 1992, he was the first to unite efforts of the Los Angeles Mayors Office, LA
Unified School District, and USC to provide free tennis lessons on campus for
hundreds of inner city gradeschoolers. In 1995, Jonathan founded and moderated the
first panel of physicians and specialists to address the epidemic of Repetitive
Strain Injury (RSI), such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, on a new Internet newsgroup.
Dubbed "the occupational disease of the 90's", RSI is a serious, and potentially
crippling, affliction to those using a computer keyboard. Tennis elbow is also an RSI.
He and the panel have answered hundreds of questions, at no charge, from around
the world. Dr. Bailin's electronic orientation document on the subject, called
"Ergonomics and Computer Injuries", has been used at Exxon in Malaysia, North
Carolina State University, the Belgium Journalists Bureau, Microscopy Today,
Better Health and Medical Network, Canadian Centre for Occupational
Health and Safety, Dallas Community Colleges, University of Leeds (London), the
Microsoft Corporation, and the US Food and Drug Administration, to name a few.
That document is cornerstone information and is still in use on the web today.
In addition to these duties, Jonathan has appeared before national convention
audiences and published on critical sports medicine and ergonomics topics over
the last 20 years. He helps operate a tennis charity foundation (nevadayouthtennis.org)
and continues to coach a dedicated list of clients on his waterside court in Marina Del Rey, California.
MY MISSION: To get you into "Academy Style" groups as soon as possible to decrease your coaching costs and build a new tennis community of friends/competitors at your level around you.
