Quick
Intro

You believed first.
You gave without being asked.
You helped build the foundation — brick by brick.

Before the rankings.
Before the sponsors.
Before the finals.
Before the sponsors knew her name...
There was you.

This space honors the people who recognized the spark early and chose to invest in a dream that is being built with discipline, heart, and courage. Your names mark the beginning of something extraordinary: Not just a tennis career — but a story of resilience, identity, and purpose.

Our Guiding Principles

Vision: To rise with integrity. To compete with purpose. To inspire young women accross the world.
Mission: To build a multidimensional career grounded in discipline, creative expression, and real-world advocacy — on court, in front of the camera, and in conservation spaces.

Fueled by the SportFishing Community

Born into one of sportfishing's greatest legacies, Lyndsey is forging her own path — one shaped not by headlines, but by heart.

For years, a quiet circle of anglers, families, and friends gave, hosted, encouraged, and believed long before the world ever saw her name on ranking sheet. From the decks of the Decisive to tennis courts around the world, her dream has been lifted by the people who become family. Guatemalan Billfishing Adventures — the home of her roots — remains a cornerstone of her rise.

Join the Campaign → Adventure with Purpose

The sea shaped her mindset. Now it shapes the way she gives back.

Every guest aboard the Decisive becomes part of this journey — helping fund the next chapter of Lyndsey's development.

Launching now:

Adventure With Purpose

A unique program where young guests join her father, Capt. Brad Philipps, on the waters where it all began.

With 40,000+ billfish released, he has built not just a record — but a legacy. Through this initiative, that legacy now supports a new generation of athletes and conservation voices.

Kids under 12 fish free when part of this campaign. Whether you joines us to fish, to support, or to believe — thank you for being there at the beginning.

Disruption Strategy

Convention

Tennis is rankings-driven, quiet, traditional.
Modeling expects separation from sport.
Athletes are supposed to choose one identity.

Lyndsey's Disruption

She owns her multidimensional identity.
She blends sport + fashion + purpose.
She represents the modern athlete: power, poise, presence — aligned.

From the court to the wild — she stands for more than results.
She stands for resilience, creativity, and the courage to rise.

Poise. Power. Presence.

The pillars that define her mindset, her training, and her purpose.
