Filipe Costa joins Crawl Me Maybe for a deep and entertaining conversation about his journey from international tennis upbringing to college success at the University of Georgia — and now stepping into the professional stage with INTENNSE Tennis League.

Felipe reflects on moving 16 times growing up, the lessons learned from different cultures, battling through injuries and five knee surgeries, and how those experiences shaped both his game and his coaching mindset. He also breaks down his time at Georgia, competing alongside elite teammates, and why returning home helped define his career.

Now entering INTENNSE Tennis as a player after working in broadcasting last season, Felipe explains what drew him to the league’s fast-paced, team-driven format and how it changes the traditional tennis experience. From playing style and team chemistry to crowd energy and mixed-gender competition, he gives insight into what makes INTENNSE so unique.

We also dive into Costa Tennis Academy, his coaching philosophy built around simplifying the game for players at all levels, and how he hopes to help others become their own coaches on court.

Plus: rapid-fire questions, hidden talents (including guitar and songwriting), toughest opponents, and what’s next for him in this new chapter.

- Growing up moving across multiple countries
- Overcoming injuries and setbacks
- University of Georgia tennis experience
- Transition from broadcaster to professional player
- INTENNSE Tennis League preview
