Best 10 coaches for lessons near Holmdel, NJ

I love golf, because of what it has taught me about myself, and for the game, itself. Golf seems an impossible sport when beginning, but to succeed at goals on the course allows for success in life. I can help begin that journey. I have 30 years of teaching experience, and I am currently the golf instructor with Pegasus After School programs of New Jersey.

Hi, I'm Anthony! I have been playing tennis for over 20 years and coaching for nearly 8 years. I most recently worked as a pro at UPenn Racquet Club before moving back to NJ. Alongside being a USPTR certified tennis coach, I'm also deeply involved in the arts as an actor, filmmaker, and singer. Tennis coaching is my passion, but when I'm not on the court, you'll likely find me immersed in the world of cinema. I'm particularly proud of my film "ETHEREAL," which has played at various film festivals. Balancing my love for both sports and the arts is what makes my life truly vibrant and fulfilling.

"Highly recommend!!

Igniting potential on the court is my specialty. With 13 years of tennis coaching experience and as a former D1 athlete, I offer comprehensive training tailored to each player's needs. My passion is helping you achieve your tennis goals while enjoying the journey.

"Review: This was our second lesson. We continued to work on the basic skills of dunking, volleying and third shot drops. These were all things that we needed to work on. We added some new skill drills to workin strategy as well as play. Will continue to take future lessons. Extremely happy.
