Getting People Back to Tennis — A Conversation with John Davey

The new episode of The Tribe is live.

Today, I’m joined by John Davey, Founder and CEO of Fast Track Tennis.

John’s path through the game is anything but linear.

He grew up learning tennis the old-school way in Detroit, played college tennis at the University of Vermont, and had a brief run as a professional. From there, his career took a sharp turn—Wall Street, entrepreneurship, and building businesses far from the court.

Years later, tennis found its way back into his life.

Not as a comeback story, but as a second act—one shaped by perspective, parenting, and long-term thinking.

In this conversation, we talk about:
  • What changes when you return to the game later in life
  • Development over outcomes
  • Balancing ambition, family, and passion
  • Why “doing less” often leads to better results

It’s a thoughtful discussion about growth—on and off the court.

As always, thanks for being part of The Tribe.
