Hi, I'm Nick Cmager, a former #1-ranked player in Slovenia and Division 1 athlete with over a decade of coaching experience. I've competed internationally and reached a UTR of 13. I enjoy working with players of all levels—from beginners picking up a racket for the first time to competitive high school athletes and recreational adults. Whether you're looking to learn fundamentals or take your game to the next level, I'm excited to help you improve. See you on the court! :)

Nick
With over 30 years on the court and experience competing at the college level, I bring a lifelong love of basketball to every session. I specialize in developing fundamentals—shooting, passing, and defense—for beginners through intermediate players. I coach in Santa Monica at Reed Park and private residences, offering personalized, goal-driven (in writing 😁) training that builds skill, confidence, and understanding of the game. As a father of two teens (one at Pali High and one at SaMo) and a COO by day, I value focus, growth, and helping each player reach their potential.
"I dribble with my head up and can use my left hand better now. Thanks!

I was a four-year varsity player at Oberlin College and currently work in economic consulting. I am also currently building a post-match feedback platform for competitive players (we are currently demoing the product for a select group of players). Outside of tennis, I completed a 2,800 mile walk across America a few years ago and am currently training for an Ironman. I value discipline, consistency, and long-term development, and I enjoy working with players who want to improve and are willing to put in the work.

"My 7-old had never ridden a skateboard before. After the first lesson, he was pushing and gliding with some comfort and confidence. After his second, he was going down ramps and having fun. Badri has an easy-going and patient way about him that put my son at ease right away. He’s also been really easy to communicate with. We’re going to keep taking lessons with Badri.
