Since earning his introduction to the sport in grade school, Judson has been immersed in the close-knit, but steadily growing squash community. As a junior player, Travis enjoyed a standout junior career, reached #1 in the US at age 16 and represented the US National team in international competition. Travis was a member of the Brunswick School Varsity Squash team for six years, captaining the team twice, in his hometown Greenwich, CT. He joined Paul Assaiante’s storied program at Trinity College and captained the team amid its 252-match winning streak. Judson went on to coach at the famed Apawamis Club in Rye, NY, where he coached over 100 nationally ranked juniors, including one national champion. He joined the professional doubles squash circuit, achieving a career-high ranking of 27 in the world, before taking over the Poly program in 2019.  His goal is to  “instill a championship mentality and get the student-athletes to be the best versions of themselves.” Judson led the boys to their fifth Ivy Prep League title in 2020 and a final ranking of No.15 in the country. He also led the defending Ivy Prep League Champion Poly girls’ to another Ivy Prep League Championship in 2020.
