The Founders

Owen & Eliott McPeak — The Twin Founders

Owen and Eliott are more than college player-coaches — they are the entrepreneurial heart of Evolution Tennis Academy. Twin brothers currently enrolled at the Boise State Venture School, they are learning to build businesses while simultaneously running one of the Treasure Valley's most exciting tennis development programs.

ETA is their first venture. Racket Matrix — a year-round indoor training facility opening November 2026 — is their second. Their journey from player to coach to founder is exactly the kind of development pathway ETA exists to create.

Our Coaching Philosophy

We Don't Just Teach Tennis. We Build Players.

At Evolution Tennis Academy, we believe the highest quality coaching doesn't have to be exclusive. Our team — veteran USPTA professionals, collegiate champions, and specialist staff — is united by a single mission: help every player discover their potential on the court.

The college player-coaches aren't just instructors. They're mentors. When a 12-year-old practices serves with a former Idaho state champion who was exactly their age a few years ago, something powerful happens. That connection — peer-to-near-peer mentorship — is one of the most valuable things ETA offers.
