Hi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts. I then channeled my passion for the sport into coaching, leading to a head Varsity tennis coach in high school. These days, I've immersed myself in coaching pickleball, drawing from my rich tennis background to nurture and elevate players in this exciting game.

Save ~$10-15 per lesson with me by not having to purchase golf balls at the range! Hi there, I'm Blaise! A seasoned golfer carrying a scratch handicap, and a tech entrepreneur by profession. My lifelong affair with the game has not only allowed me to master the nuances of golf but also share my knowledge with budding golfers. Over the years, I've honed my teaching skills having given well over 5,000 detailed lessons. My approach to teaching golf revolves around nailing the basics first, and then progressively moving onto the more intricate details of the game that fit your natural swing. As a former multi-sport athlete, I like to find a students natural athleticism and teach a swing that revolves around what works best for the student. Golf is hard to learn on your own. Many aspects of the game are counterintuitive and often times up means down, right means left...etc. I'll help you skip years of frustration trying to learn these concepts, and get you hitting the ball better than you thought possible. So, let's get started on this exciting journey, gradually improving your game from the fundamentals to the finer strokes, while having a blast. I teach out of a private golf simulator in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with a simulator, it's high end technology that captures every metric of both the ball and club. In my opinion, the golf simulator is the best way to work on your golf swing because you get so much more data than just hitting balls at the range. The simulator also includes a high speed camera that shows the club hitting the ball frame by frame. But mostly, it's just really cool and a lot of fun!

"Blaise  is super helpful  and I like his concept. Great first lesson.

I bring over two decades of experience as a coach, mentor, player, and analyst to enhance your tennis journey. Let's work together to improve your game, covering techniques and mindset and gaining a competitive edge. With a lifelong passion for tennis, I'll share experiences and tennis trivia spanning over half a century. My coaching approach has nurtured champions in the California NCS top competitive championship, and I'm dedicated to helping you strive for excellence on the court. Join me, and let's make your tennis experience exceptional and rewarding!

"Oh, I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, really, we worked through when to use line or cross shots, plus some focus on my forehand and backhand ground strokes. Though I’d like to get more practice on my serve and volleys at the net, the work on adding power to my serve felt quite useful. Thanks to the clear guidance, I feel more confident about my ground game now. If you're thinking about giving Subrato a try, it’s probably worth a shot.

Fueling the field for 15 years, I blend experience and enthusiasm to unlock each player's potential. My passion for soccer drives personalized coaching, fostering both skill development and a love for the game. Together, we'll achieve your goals.
