Hi! I’m Londyn!

About Me:

I am a 14-year-old junior tennis player, based in Atlanta GA.

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, growing up as the youngest among my siblings, I’ve been immersed in the world of sports from a very young age. At the age of four, I picked up a tennis racket for the first time, setting the stage for my tennis journey.

Fast forward to today, and I’m now 14 years old, proudly calling Georgia my home base. I hold the distinction of being one of the top-ranked junior players in the United States.

What's Next For Me?

As I am in pursuit of Junior World Ranking, my next transition is to Junior International Federation (ITF) tournaments as well as adding a European training base for when I away from the US for extended periods of time. I will continue to maintain my US training base between Greater Atlanta Christian Academy in Norcross, Georgia and the NJTL Excellence team with Mach Academy based in Augusta Georgia.

Followed by my recent Championship victory, winning 2023 Eddie Herr International Doubles Championship held at the prestigious IMG Tennis Academy in Bradenton Florida - https://www.imgacademy.com/events/eddie-herr-international-junior-championship. Both of these events have storied histories with many current and retired professional tennis players competing in these two prestigious events.

Selection and Opportunity

During a visit to France and after an intensive training and selection process, I have been selected and invited to join the elite team at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy https://www.mouratoglou.com/en/elite-team/ in 2024. This is an exciting opportunity for which I am grateful as I am an aspiring future tennis professional. The elite team is a personalized training program specially designed to groom and prepare junior tennis players for the professional tennis tour. The program offers a centralized training base while traveling and competing in Europe and other parts of the world. This is also the training base for many of the world’s best WTA and ATP players. The coaching and development program I have been selected for is run by Kerei Abakar, and overseen by Patrick Mouratoglou.

Why I Am Asking for Your Support

As I embark on my journey to pursue a professional tennis career, I am reaching out with a heartfelt plea for your support. Tennis, one of the most expensive sports, can inadvertently exclude talented individuals from following their dreams due to financial constraints. My parents, despite their unwavering support, cannot single-handedly sustain the escalating costs as I progress. At this critical juncture, many aspiring players are forced to abandon their dreams due to financial hurdles. I understand the magnitude of asking for public support, but this is one of the last avenues to bridge the financial gap for the next three years. The funds raised, though nominal compared to the annual costs ranging from $100k to $150k, will make an immeasurable impact.

Your contribution ensures that financial barriers do not hinder the pursuit of my passion. Please consider being a part of this journey by visiting LondynMcCord.com. Your support, no matter the amount, will help turn a dream into reality.

The costs associated with competing, training and developing at an elite level can quickly add up. That's why I am humbly asking for your generous contribution and support to help me kick off my transition. Your contribution will allow me to cover the following costs:

3. Coaching, Training and Development Fees

4. Fitness

5. Physical Therapy for injury prevention

Your support will enable me to devote my focus to my tennis and my academic studies. I have a lot of upsides and with my abilities, I am confident that being given this opportunity will ensure my success at the next level.
