Weston Hudson, Tennis Professional

Weston’s journey with tennis began at age 11 in West Texas, quickly growing into a lifelong passion. As a junior competitor, he rose to become the #1 singles player on his high school team, won dozens of USTA tournaments, earned a top-100 junior ranking in Texas, and defeated the defending state champion his senior year. After taking time away from competitive play to pursue creative arts, technology, and teaching—including instructional roles with Apple and the Musicians Institute in Hollywood—Weston returned to the court at age 35, playing on two national teams in 2015 and 2016.

Having recently relocated to Eugene from Los Angeles, Weston brings seven years of dedicated coaching experience with players of all ages and skill levels, as well as serving as Head Coach for the Sheldon High School Boys Tennis program in 2026. His coaching philosophy integrates the body, mind, and spirit of the athlete—combining technical mastery and
tactical strategy with focus, emotional intelligence, and mental resilience. Weston enjoys helping players reach their specific
goals, whether that means making a school team, improving a ranking, or simply refining technique.

Excited to join the team at ESTC, Weston looks forward to helping players at the club expand their tennis game!

Patrick Smith, Tennis Professional

Patrick and his fiancée, Emma, recently moved to Eugene from Sacramento, California, and are excited to become part of the ESTC community.

Patrick began his coaching career as the head coach of a high school boys’ tennis team in Sacramento. His four years with the program proved so rewarding that they inspired him to change his college major to kinesiology. He later became a certified teaching professional at Rio del Oro Sports Club, where he coached for more than seven years.

Although Patrick specializes in coaching competitive adult teams and junior players, he has worked with players of all ages and abilities. He especially enjoys seeing the learning process unfold on the court—and witnessing the moment when something clicks and a player takes the next step in their development.

Patrick describes himself as an enthusiastic, straightforward, and passionate coach who challenges players and helps them pursue their goals. A former Sacramento State player, he also continues to enjoy competing in tournaments and leagues while working to improve his own game.

Patrick looks forward to meeting our members and becoming part of the Eugene Swim & Tennis Club family!
