Stone Mountain Businessman Educates and Inspires Through the Art of Tennis

I had the opportunity to speak with Stone Mountain resident Bryan Shepherd, the owner of Bryan’s Racquet.

Business Name: Bryan's Racquet; “Tennis instruction, racquet consultation.”
Year Established: 1991 

Mr. Shepherd shares his vision for his business which is to enrich, enlighten and engage the public through physical activity and skill through tennis. Mr. Shepherd is also engaged in philanthropy by being a frequent contributor to fund raisers and charities via lesson packages for raffles and working with the 100 Black Men of DeKalb and their tennis program twice annually. Bryan’s Raquet caters to clients ranging in age from from 4 to 85, so there is no excuse to not engage in physical activity at any age and skill level. 

When I asked Mr. Shepherd about how his business has enriched the Stone Mountain area, he presented me with this testimonial from a team he has been working with:

Over the past twenty years many of our team members have watched Bryan Shepherd develop into one of Atlanta’s best tennis coaches as well as a compassionate man who holds tennis as a valued treasure in his heart. Bryan displays a professional stance while delivering quality instruction and is not beyond using humor, wit, or charm to highlight his love for the game of tennis. While on the court or off, Bryan directs his energies, focus, and efforts to each man, woman, or child nurturing the person as a whole. Mr. Shepherd pushes each individual to new levels physically and mentally with creative drills and scenario‘s created to provoke thought and mental toughness. He concerns himself with each person’s eating choices, racket choices, resting and exercise choices and has suggestions and information in each of those areas to elevate that person to a higher standard. Bryan will infuse jokes, scripture, adages, and home-spun stories while pushing his trainees through innovative exercises created to strengthen the type of tennis behavior that leads to success and on-court victories.

So, whether you want a fun activity to get involved in or train with a professional athlete that will sharpen your tennis skills at any level, Bryan’s Racquet seems to one of the hidden jewels that we have in our Stone Mountain area.
