🏆 2024-25 WeCOACH Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient: Dr. Ann Lebedeff 🏆
Dr. Ann Lebedeff is a nationally recognized collegiate tennis coach and teacher. Her coaching career began at the University of Arizona from 1977 to1984, and she was then honored as the Western Collegiate Coach of the Year in 1985.
Professor Lebedeff coached both the men's and women's programs at Cal Poly Pomona from 1989 to 1998, winning national titles with both programs. After earning her doctorate in Physical Education from USC in 1998, Dr. Lebedeff became Professor and Head Women's Tennis Coach at Pomona-Pitzer Colleges. Under her leadership, the Sagehens reached the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals seven times (2001-03, 2007-10), including a semifinal appearance in 2008. In 2000, her doubles team won the NCAA Division III Doubles Championship, while in 2008, Siobhan Finicane won the NCAA Division III Singles Championship.
Dr. Lebedeff has received five national Wilson ITA Coach of the Year Awards and was named Wilson ITA Coach of the Decade (1990s) for Division II women's tennis. The International Tennis Hall of Fame honored her in 1999 with the Tennis Educational Merit Award, and in the same year, Dr. Lebedeff was presented with the ITA Rolex Meritorious Service Award. In 2019, she was inducted into the ITA Women’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame.
Her legacy was solidified in 2018 when her friend, tennis legend and sports icon Billie Jean King endowed the ITA Ann Lebedeff Leadership Award, honoring recent college tennis graduates who demonstrate passion and perseverance toward long-term goals, a commitment to social justice and equality, and the ability to inspire others to be leaders.
