Pat Dougherty

Pat's association with the IMG Academy extends back to 1985, when he created the first off-court Hi-Tech program. Hi-Tech was an all-encompassing, video intensive off-court experience where students were able to explore every fundamental aspect of tennis. Pat's work at the Academy contributed in the development of many elite players including Kei Nishikori, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Tommy Haas, Monica Seles, Maria Sharapova and Nicole Vaidisova.
