World renowned coach Heath Waters is one of only a handful of coaches in the entire world to have the acclaimed status of being a fully registered coach on both the ATP and WTA Professional Tours. Heath has been a full time coach on the professional tour since 1998. Heath currently coaches wife Lindsay Lee-Waters, former 33 in the world, as she is making her comeback from having her 2nd child, and is currently the only mother of TWO in the modern era to be ranked in the top 200 in the world and playing professional tennis. While not traveling on tour Heath spends his time traveling the world mentoring other coaches in The ACE Player Developmental System™. The ACE System™ is currently being used on tour by 4 players, of which two are ranked top 50 in the world, Melanie Oudin (WTA), and Melinda Czink (WTA), and the other two wife Lindsay (WTA), and Rubin (ATP), who are both ranked top 300 and 200 respectively and quickly moving up the ranks.

Alex also had wins over top ATP players Ivo Karlovic, Sam Querry, Julien Benneteau, and many other top ranked players while under Heath's tutelage.

Every single one of Heath’s private students that Heath Waters has ever coached for more than 24 months has achieved no less than a top 25 ranking in the United States national rankings. Matter of fact all achieved a top 10 ranking in the United States accept one player who was top 25. Between 1996-2001 Heath’s junior students won over 20 gold balls (U.S. National Titles) and 20 International and National titles on top of that. Every student that Heath Waters has ever coached privately for more than 24 months has gone on to play professional tennis without exception. Every one of these students achieved a professional ranking with the exception of one who changed career paths. The highest achieved professional ranking of Heath’s junior students is so far 39 in the world achieved by Ashley Harkleroad on the WTA Tour (Heath began coaching Ashley at 8 years old).
