“Veronique was super flexible to accommodate our timings. She worked with my daughter who is not an absolute beginner. Veronique worked on her backhand very patiently and explained her the techniques. Veronique was very observant and corrected her in friendly manner.

My name is Veronique. I'm a USPTA certified tennis professional, and I play comfortably at a pro level with—an eclectic and unconventional style — the right players.
* As a teaching pro
♣ I understand the game very well- with high match IQ). I used to dance ballet as well which helped me a lot to have a smooth and a fluid style, and a great foot work and balance. When it comes to tennis it is all about fitness, agility, stamina, endurance, mental fortitude at the critical moment of the match--- and a great technique to sustain a high level for a long period of time.
About my tennis style and teaching- you will learn any style you like that fits your game, using spin and slices as well as being eclectic and /or conventional ... and how to develop a technically sound serve ( the serve in tennis is one of or the most important elements if you like to be very competitive).
♣ Teaching philosophy is-- (based around student and teacher-centered approach): I do not like to talk much during the session( I don't over/or under coach but I give you what you need to be ) Despite-- I emphasize a lot on the technique and repetitions so you can improve in the right way, while having fun. -- and after finishing the lessons, the students will have an idea on what they need to do to become good recreational players, or advanced or professional players, and what their strengths and weaknesses are... from which they will be able to diagnose their own game.
♣ Personal --I'm also multilingual-- graduate student (I have a minor, BA, MA---,(and PhD is my next goal.
* I taught tennis in high school as well - private school - and all my students said that I'm the best coach they have ever had .
♣I love fitness, organic food, and my favorite sport is gymnastics which is the only complete sport and most difficult to master.
Personality - *I'm very nice, caring, gentle, sincere, humble, open minded , very wise and patient with excellent communication skills
Thank you and have a wonderful day and see you on court.
Sincerely your,

“My son loves to attend his soccer training. Coach teaches skills needed to handle the ball. We can see improvement in my son’s skills and confidence. I would definitely recommend coach for soccer training.”Abhi, parent · shared by RobertAbout RobertHello, my name is Robert Reyes, I am a soccer coach/trainer in love with this sport. As a Latino I live soccer intensely, I try to instill in my players the necessary values to practice this beautiful sport. One of the problems that I notice in soccer here in the USA is the lack of understanding of the game, and I am not referring to the rules of the game, I am referring to understanding the essence of it, to be a great player you must dominate the field in everything its splendor, and that is my job, to make you develop your maximum potential. Many people believe that soccer is only played with the feet, but they are wrong, you need to train your mind to achieve the proposed objectives.Go to profile96GreatTop rated
