Former USPTA CEO John Embree talks about his USTA League leadership

In the first of a two-part series, John Embree reminisces about working as the first head of the USTA League and the NTRP system governing all USTA League players 44 years later. He explained that the goal of having one system for all adult players was considered unreachable when it was first proposed. He added, "One of the attractions about the USTA League program is that we have sectional and national championships." In our second podcast with John, he outlines his 11 years as the United States Professional Tennis Association CEO until his retirement this year.
