Now 17 years into his career as a coach, Ashby has worked with most of America's young female talent, targeting players in the Under-14 category. His resume includes court time with Sloane Stephens, Amanda Anisimova, Sofia Kenin and Coco Vandeweghe, to name just a few.

Ashby talks about his experience running Player Development camps—one of which Falconi attended alongside Madison Brengle and Alison Riske. He explains what it's like working with young stars, who he's keeping a close eye on, and how he sees college tennis as a pathway to the pro tour.
