Private Lessons & Coaches in Coral Terrace, FL

With a lifelong passion for sports and coaching, my journey has taken me from playing organized sports from age 6 through high school, including a semi-pro football season, to coaching high school basketball and little league baseball for 11 rewarding years. Alongside my love for athletics, I've shared my musical talents by teaching guitar and percussion. I channel my coaching expertise into mentoring elementary students in after-school basketball programs. It's a privilege to inspire young athletes and musicians, nurturing their skills and passion for the game and music.

"Day by day, you feel the evolution of your strikes and footwork—there is real progress. Plus, it’s ideal for cardio.

You already have what it takes, you just need the right guide. Maybe no one ever taught you proper technique. Maybe you’ve been training hard, but without results. Or maybe you’re just starting out and feel unsure where to begin. That’s where I come in. With over 21 years of experience as a professional athlete, 11+ years of coaching, and the prestigious RSPA Elite Tennis Professional Certification, I bring world-class expertise to every lesson. As a 2x national champion and former member of an Olympic tennis team, I’ve lived every step of the tennis journey, from the first forehand to elite-level competition. I coach using a European training philosophy, focused on building a strong foundation through proper technique, movement, and mental discipline. You won’t just run drills, you’ll learn why you do them, how to do them better, and when to use them in real match play. Whether you’re a beginner building confidence, an intermediate refining skills, or an advanced player preparing for competition, I create personalized coaching strategies designed to help you reach your next level. As a certified coach with a proven track record, I’ve helped athletes turn potential into podiums. My students have successfully competed in both ITF and USTA tournaments. You’re not just another athlete on a court. I see you. I believe in you. And I’m here to help you play the best tennis of your life one purposeful session at a time. Let’s start your transformation.

My child leaves every session motivated and proud and I have never seen them this inspired before. If you want a coach who transforms players on and off the court, Coach Sam is the one.
