Ray Brown, Ph.D.
In the 1970's, Dr. Brown taught tennis to the general public for Dick Gould (Stanford Tennis Coach) where he learned classical tennis fundamentals. In the 1990's Ray studied with Vic Braden and Dennis van der Meer and in the late 90's began coaching on the WTA tour. As a result of these experiences, it became apparent that existing methods of tennis instruction were inconsistent with modern learning theories and hence resulted in very slow player development. From Dr. Brown's background as a college professor, a magnet high school educator, and a research scientist in learning theory, it was apparent that there was a significant need to introduce the modern theory of learning into tennis training. The result of this research is the EASI Academy. Not only did the EASI Academy introduce the most advanced scientific training methods in the world, it also introduced the idea of integrating all five dimensions of training into a single program of player development. Using these advanced methods, Dr. Brown's training program has been used to rapidly accelerate players at every level of skill, from novice to professional. Typically, a novice training at the EASI Academy will develop significant skills in as little as 6 months that will require two years to develop using classical tennis training methods. Ray received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in the area of nonlinear dynamics and has over 30 years of experience in the analysis of nonlinear systems. Over the past ten years he has been working in the area of neuroscience and brain dynamics. During this time, Dr. Brown has been conducting an extensive experiment in conjunction with his wife to determine whether neuroscience can be applied to dramatically accelerate tennis training and to determine if the venue of tennis can be used as a means of studying brain dynamics and brain trauma rehabilitation. Dr. Brown has been a guest editor for Mid-Atlantic Match Point for over six years where he has published over 100 articles on Tennis Coaching and Player Development. Dr. Brown is also a regular contributor to TennisONE and ProCompareTennis.net. Dr. Brown has also published over 35 scientific papers in refereed journals on complexity, chaos, and nonlinear processes. Dr. Brown holds two patents on chaos applications (one for tennis training), two formal copyrights in encryption and is an internationally invited speaker on chaos, complexity, and nonlinear processes.
