My innovative training methodology is designed to prevent the formation of bad habits and improper muscle memory during the crucial stroke acquisition phase.

"Michael has a mastery of both the physical and mental aspects of the sport, and offered a great mix of constructive criticism and encouragement to both effectively get the teaching points across and keep me motivated. After taking the time to understand my specific goals, he worked with me to develop personalized instructions that were tremendously helpful. He offered practical advice on how I could improve each specific shot – the serve, the groundstrokes, the volley, etc. and gave me clear directions on how I can practice on my own time beyond the lessons to incorporate those improvements. Michael’s technical skills and work ethic make him a great tennis instructor, and his ability to inspire the same passion he has for tennis in others makes him a great ambassador for the sport.

On the court, I empower athletes to reach their full potential. With 12 years of experience, I combine technical expertise with a passion for fostering a fun, yet disciplined learning environment. Let's work together to elevate your game!
