"This lesson was helpful, especially since Jessica took the time to simplify topspin movements which I’d been struggling with. She was very patient as I learned to use it more effectively. I still need work to become more consistent with my shots but I definitely feel more confident about hitting topspin at different areas on the court.

"My son and I met Coach David and his family at a tennis tournament in Green Cove Springs, FL. We exchanged numbers and we became friends through tennis playing and fellowship. And eventually my son, Brennan, wanted to stop getting lessons from His Coach at Oakleaf and wanted to start learning from Coach David. Prior to knowing Coach David, my son had won zero championships or titles. And after entering a few throughout the summer and fall of 2025, in late October 2025 my son finally won 1st place—ironically, at Oakleaf—during a USTA weekend-long tournament that they were holding for junior players all over the south eastern region of the United States. Brennan actually only lost one game that entire weekend (6-0,6-0; 6-0,6-0; 6-0,6-1) and his UTR ranking has constantly increased ever since our very first month of taking lessons with Coach David.
