Women’s tennis head coach Jason Marshall is currently in the midst of his second season at Georgia State, but his tennis background extends back into his early childhood.
Born in Dallas, Texas, Marshall was introduced to tennis by his mother at age eight.
“My mom started me in tennis,” Marshall said. “Then I had private coaches, but when I got more serious I started training everyday. I actually went to a junior development program.”
Continuing in his tennis career, Marshall attended J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. Having only played one season in high school due to injury, Marshall was not heavily recruited.
