"Had a great first lesson with Jeshua. Super easy to talk to, patient, and clearly knowledgeable about the golf swing and ball flight. He helped me better understand club face awareness and how different misses happen, which was really helpful for someone who has been self taught. I’m a newer golfer and never had one before, I appreciated how relaxed and encouraging the lesson felt. Definitely recommend for golfers looking to better understand their swing and shot patterns.

Eric
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.
"Great tips!

With an extraordinary tennis journey, Erik rose to prominence as a top-ranked junior player, both nationally and internationally.

His talents extended to the ATP World Tour, where he secured world rankings in both singles and doubles, despite an abbreviated tour stint due to sponsorship challenges. 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. Currently, Erik is dedicated to running a junior program aimed at preparing young talents for college tennis and beyond. In addition, he's building a comprehensive tennis academy featuring six courts, a swimming pool, and dormitory facilities, where the future of tennis can be nurtured and inspired.

Over this journey, we recorded nine studio albums, selling over 1.5 million copies and earning three Japanese gold records. In 2000, a Grammy nomination (Best Metal Performance for "Enter Sandman" with Motorhead) marked a pinnacle moment.

Across Europe, the UK, and Japan, I've played iconic festivals like Hurricane, Reading, Download, and Summer Sonic.
