My name is Alok and I am a local Ellicott City tennis coach with over 40 years of playing experience and over 10 years of teaching experience! I have a deep knowledge of tennis and can also help advanced players with flawless stroke techniques, deep analysis, advanced footwork and tennis exercises. I’m currently playing at 4.5 level in USTA tournaments. Over the last 10 years, I have coached more than 100 students of all ages, completing more than 10,000 hrs of coaching

As a coach, I have had several private lessons with beginner-intermediate players working on game strategy, drills, technical skills + when/how to implement them. I help troubleshoot + remedy any issues you are having during competitive play. My style is cordial and structured, tailored to fit your needs. I work with adults and kids of all ages, from beginner-intermediate. My focus (besides working on skills and strategy) is helping you LOVE the game through a deeper understanding.

Great athletes aren’t born, they’re developed through quality coaching, consistent fundamentals, and confidence built one rep at a time. As a licensed Health & PE teacher, former collegiate defensive back, and experienced football coach, I’m passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential both on and off the field. I specialize in working with athletes ages 10–17, providing instruction in youth football, flag football, defensive back development, football fundamentals, and speed and agility training. Girls flag football is one of my specialties, and I take pride in helping female athletes develop the skills, confidence, and football IQ to compete at a high level. Whether you’re just getting started or preparing for your next season, every lesson is tailored to your goals, experience, and position. My coaching philosophy is simple: master the fundamentals, compete with confidence, and never stop improving. Every session is designed to develop technique, football IQ, decision making, and athletic confidence in a positive, high-energy environment where athletes are challenged to be their best. My goal is for every athlete to leave each lesson more confident, more disciplined, and more prepared than when they arrived.

Then went to play D3 Ball

"I was new and just getting into baseball and couldn’t even hit the ball on the tee. Coach Parker made hitting so simple and easy for me to understand that I started hitting the ball more consistently.

I’ve been running since middle school, and one lesson has shaped my coaching more than any certification: the biggest breakthroughs came when I stayed healthy enough to train consistently. That’s why my approach blends individualized run programming with strength, movement quality, recovery, and injury prevention. With backgrounds in both coaching and counseling, I help athletes build awareness, durability, and sustainable habits so progress can compound for years, not just one race cycle.

"Dami really helped me understand the process of becoming a better runner.

Diane is an experienced vocal coach (getting results in the 1st lesson) in the Mix voice/ belt method in genres such as pop, worship, country, jazz, musical theater and more. With decades of experience, she helps singers develop strong, healthy, and confident voices, all while improving vocal stamina, agility, range, and stage presence. She’s worked with artists, worship leaders, gig singers, aspiring vocalists, adults and kids, to help overcome vocal and mental blocks and find their best voice.

"Diane Allen is not only a top notch vocal coach, but a warm and wonderful person. My voice was a wreck. Trauma and stress had taken a toll. She gave me real insight on how trauma affects the body and vocal cords. She worked with me patiently and kindly on my worship music, giving me the tools to help bring out the best in my voice. Always encouraging! 2 1/2 months later, the change in my voice is obvious! I highly, highly recommend Diane as a vocal coach. I would have never gotten this far without her! She’s amazing!!
