If someone had told John Sorrow 20 years ago he was destined to become a tennis instructor in his 50s, he might have looked puzzled.
Why?
Well, because he didn’t play tennis.
Sorrow, now 58, is a former Cigna executive (he ran health care operations for four states) who didn’t take up tennis until he was in his mid-40s.
Yet today, Sorrow organizes tennis clinics and teaches private lessons. On a typical week, he might have 60 to 70 students under his tutelage — many of them in clinics at the McCallie School tennis complex.
