Brady Mazzola
Founder & Philanthropist at Watering Seeds Organization
Brady Mazzola, an Orange, Texas native and founder of the Watering Seeds Organization (WSO), first distinguished himself as a standout Texas junior tennis player. He earned a tennis scholarship to Lamar University, where he competed for four years as an NCAA Division I athlete. As a student-athlete, he was recognized on the Sun Belt and Southland Conference All-Academic Teams. He graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a minor in Business.
Following graduation, Mazzola launched his career as a teaching professional and strength and conditioning coach at Willow Fork Country Club in Katy, Texas. There, he co-mentored the Katy Taylor High School tennis team to a 5A state championship.
In 2003, he moved to Los Angeles to advance his professional career, serving at two premier Southern California clubs—Braemar Country Club and Sherwood Country Club. He coached numerous elite juniors and aspiring professionals and founded a private coaching company serving VIP clients, including former top ATP touring professionals, their children, and Hollywood celebrities.
Inspired by a Paralympic wheelchair tennis exhibition at UCLA in the summer of 2004, Mazzola founded the Watering Seeds Organization to provide adaptive sports, rehabilitation, and wellness opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Since WSO’s inception in 2005, Mazzola and his team have produced and hosted a wide range of outreach events and campaigns, including:
Military family picnics at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
Live televised concert specials to boost military morale
Benefit comedy and magic shows at the Magic Castle in Hollywood
Celebrity charity pre–Super Bowl galas in host cities
The Wheelchair Super Bowl featuring Veterans and NFL Alumni
“Skills on Wheels” adaptive sports clinics, competitions, and exhibitions nationwide
After eight years in Los Angeles, Mazzola returned to Southeast Texas in 2011. He currently leads the Fall Creek Tennis Academy in Humble, Texas, under his BAMFITennis.com coaching company. His programs offer integrated mind, body, and spirit tennis training, functional fitness, a one-stop wellness shop, and a virtual health club. As a holistic high-performance coach, he helps clients break through limits, accelerate personal growth, and realize their full potential.
Watering Seeds Bears Fruit Amid Adversity
The Watering Seeds Organization (WSO) was born from a moment of inspiration at a 2004 Paralympic wheelchair tennis exhibition, where founder Brady Mazzola witnessed elite wheelchair tennis for the first time. He was moved by the athletes’ spirit, heart, and courage—and compelled to take action.
WSO’s name reflects a guiding spiritual principle: “It is in giving that we receive.” Just as a seed needs care and water to take root and bear fruit, so too do people need time, attention, and support to grow. As Scripture teaches, “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow” (1 Corinthians 3:6).
“In a time of need, water a seed with a good deed. When you look beyond yourself to help others grow, you will reap what you sow.”
WSO believes one person can spark a ripple effect of positive change by “watering seeds” of hope and encouragement in moments of need. By nurturing one seed at a time, we can inspire, empower, and transform lives—while helping to prevent suicide.
