"I had my first private lesson and it was AMAZING! I bought a package of 10 lessons, and after just the first one, I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This is exactly the kind of direction and energy I needed. I had no clue what I was doing wrong with my serve, and in ONE HOUR he taught me what I needed to know and helped me understand exactly what I was doing wrong. He even helped me set up my camera so I can record myself and review my technique. He gives you feedback the entire time, makes you think fast, and shows you what is going to happen when you make a mistake — so you actually understand the WHY behind what he’s teaching you. And he is NOT a quiet coach — which is probably my favorite thing about him! 😂 I want someone giving me direction, correcting me, pushing me, and keeping the energy up the entire lesson. Afterward, he sends you information and notes on everything you worked on, plus homework assignments so you can keep practicing between lessons. My goal is to get to a 4.0, and I truly feel like he knows exactly how to help me get there. He also does Pin Point on Friday open play 8-11. So check him out if you see him there. You won’t regret it. I will be playing with him soon at Pin Point. SO, SO, SO happy I found him!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tennis should be fun, not intimidating. I help beginners and recreational players build solid fundamentals, confidence, and consistency in a relaxed, encouraging environment. We’ll work on the things that make the biggest difference such as footwork, positioning, contact point, technique, and consistency; using simple drills and fun games rather than overwhelming you with technical jargon. My goal is simple: help you feel more comfortable on the court, enjoy playing, and see progress every lesson. No pressure. No judgment. Just good tennis and a lot of hitting!
"Much more than expected. Coach is very professional and patient. Both me and my son love his coaching session.
