From the courts of middle school to the state's competitive stages, my tennis journey began at 13 and has been a thrilling ride since. My dedication led to being named MVP in my junior and senior years, while also embracing USTA tournaments and intense matches against fellow Texas high schools. Standing strong at a 4.0 level, I'm passionate about sharing my tennis insights with you, whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out. Let's elevate your game together!
"The latest lesson was quite helpful in focusing on my serves, though I think I could still use some refinement. Eric's approach is measured and clear, and I appreciated the specific drills he suggested. Still, I hope future lessons can include more practical feedback on foot positioning. If you're considering it, definitely give Eric a try.

I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.

Afterwards he transitioned to work alongside distinguished players in the WTA/ATP tours, including Heidi El Tabakh, Edina Gallovits, Donald Young, and more. My coaching prowess also shone as he trained junior world champions, including notable names like Emma Kurtz and Dillon Pottish.
