WHO IS OLIVER CRAWFORD?
DEDICATED
“From the age of 2 1/2, it has been a pleasure to work with him grow into the player and young man he is today. He has always had tremendous talent, focus, determination, and discipline. His work ethic and will to learn and get better is unsurpassed by any and will serve him well as he moves forward in the next chapter of his tennis career.”
– Anthony Stewart
CAPTIVATING
“Oliver Crawford is the purest athlete I have ever coached and his heart and passion for the game is magnetic! Our fans here at University of Florida loved watching him compete on the numebr one court! What an extremely bright future Oliver has in store!”
– Bryan Shelton
ENERGETIC
“Oliver has an infectious energy that makes everyone around him better. His work ethic and attitude are of the highest degree. During my time at Florida, even as a freshman, he was the leader and the heartbeat of the team. To move so gracefully but with such three-dimensional power (linear, lateral, vertical) and precision on the court, he makes the remarkable look effortless.”
– Matt Aldred
OPTIMISTIC
“Oliver is one of the top collegiate tennis players in the country. He is special in many ways, but his optimism, passion and competitive spirit are second to none. In his three years at Florida, Oliver has put a positive stamp on Gator tennis and brought excitement and enthusiasm to Court 1 at Ring Tennis Center.”
– Scott Perelman
PASSIONATE
“Oliver has a deep respect and love for the game of tennis. He always leaves the court a better player than when he walked on. Oliver’s willingness to improve many little things by one percent instead of trying to improve one big thing by a hundred percent is the path of a true champion.”
– Patrick Hieber
MOTIVATED
“Oliver is one of the most motivated and competitive athletes I have ever seen! Coaches can teach fundamentals to players but internal motivation is the game changer for successful players. Oliver has the desire to be the best, and because of everything he brings to the table, my money is on him!”
– Kelly Jones
