CBI July 2017
Tim Bainton fell in love with tennis at the age of seven, and, 26 years later, his affection for the sport hasn’t subsided. He’s participated as player, coach, consultant, entrepreneur, and investor, and, now, as the founder and executive director of Blue Chip Sports Management, sows the seeds of his enthusiasm with others. His goal: “to provide opportunities for people to play the game.”
“Club Business International is an essential resource for my management team. It stands head and shoulders above the other magazines in the industry.”
Rick Beusman, President
