Coco Gauff - Bio

Cori “Coco” Gauff (born March 13, 2004, in Delray Beach, Florida) is one of the most mentally impressive athletes of her generation. Rising to global attention at just 15 years old after defeating Venus Williams at Wimbledon, Gauff quickly proved she was more than a prodigy—she was a competitor with exceptional emotional maturity, resilience, and self-awareness.

Raised in a family that emphasized character, education, and balance, Gauff has consistently demonstrated composure under pressure well beyond her years. She has spoken openly about mental health, expectations, social responsibility, and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than being consumed by outcomes.

As a Grand Slam champion and world No. 1 doubles player, Gauff is widely admired not only for her athleticism, but for her grounded mindset, adaptability, and emotional intelligence, making her a powerful role model on and off the court.
