Lynn Steedman is in her 22nd season as the program specialist for the men’s tennis program.
Steedman’s passion for tennis began when she started playing tennis at the age of 15. When she and her husband Johnny moved to Athens, Georgia, in 1987, Steedman connected with the UGA tennis program by becoming a host family for visting NCAA team dinners. Over 21 years later, she remains the primary coordinator of the teams’ family dinners.
In 2001, head coach Manuel Diaz named Steedman the program specialist. In her role, Steedman handles the behind-the-scenes coordination and responsibilities for the six-time national champion men’s tennis program.
Georgia legend Dan Magill tabbed Steedman “Lynn the Hen,” as a tribute to the men’s tennis family she has been a ‘mother hen’ to for 20 years. Steedman, a native of Richmond, Virginia, calls the men’s tennis program “a close-knit fraternity,” one she has built relationships with through the coaches, players and families during their collegiate careers.
Steedman and her husband have two children: Ann Cox, a lawyer in Atlanta, and Tayloe, the Associate Director of Compliance at the University of Tennessee. Steedman loves spending time with her three granddaughters and family.
