Private Lessons & Coaches in Menlo Park, CA

I’ve been golfing for over 30 years and as I grew older I’ve learned to maximize what I have. I’m 5’6” and though I consider myself an athlete, I do believe a good swing can be achieved by good fundamentals and what I call positioning. By ingraining certain aspects of a swing, we can continue to improve by doing. I’m just a low-handicap golfer who want to teach average golfers good fundamentals as a takeaway, so you can start to improve on your own. I’m not a teaching professional, but I was a design instructor at an art school for over 17 years, I hope I can make improving your golf game fun.

Hello, 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.
