Private Lessons & Coaches in Hendersonville, TN

Hey I’m Coach Les, I have a master’s in exercise science and I bring 12 years of coaching experience. I’ve helped multiple athletes receive scholarships in their respective sports. My background includes collegiate football and track, three state powerlifting records and two national powerlifting records. I specialize in athletic performance and biomechanics. I also serve the community as a Nashville firefighter and EMT.

I’m a former collegiate golfer and current teaching professional in Nashville who loves helping players enjoy the game and improve with confidence. My lessons focus on fundamentals, video swing analysis, alignment, and footwork in a way that is easy to understand and apply. I enjoy working with beginners, juniors, and everyday golfers who want clear instruction, a positive environment, and real improvement.

A lifelong student of dance, Mel'Keta's foundation includes extensive training in ballet, modern etc. In 2006, she deepened her commitment to Middle Eastern dance (Raqs Sharqi) through intensive study with renowned instructors Zarouhi Otchy and Tashira Awadiya. Her dedication led to train with internationally acclaimed artists, including Elena Lentini-protégés of the legendary Ibrahim Farrah-and the celebrated Ansuya. Her performance/teaching career includes international appearances in the UK+.

"I realize that prior to taking classes with Mel'Keta, I had a completely different idea of what "belly dance" was. I now understand that it is a full body dance and not just the belly. She helps me understand the movement, the Rhythms, and the feeling which created a somatic experience for me. I enjoy being challenged, it allows me to tap into my mental resources that I dont normally use as well as strengthen my body. Taking classes has helped me become more comfortable moving as an individual versus a partnered dance that I was use to being led. Mel'Keta really helps me learn to be comfortable in my own dance and creative expression.

Former junior world No. 108 (ITF), US Open Juniors competitor, and multiple-time ITF junior title winner. I played 4 years of Division I tennis at Indiana University, then earned my Master’s at Lipscomb University while serving as assistant coach for their tennis program. I coach players of all ages and levels, tailoring each lesson to build strong fundamentals, sharpen strategy, and help students reach their next level on the court.

"I’ve been playing tennis for years, and as an advanced player, I wasn’t looking for someone to teach me the basics. I wanted a coach who could help me take my game to the next level, and Coach Vikash did exactly that. He helped me develop smarter match strategies, recognize patterns, and create game plans that worked against different opponents. His ability to analyze my game and make the right tactical adjustments had a noticeable impact on my confidence and performance. I started making better decisions under pressure and winning more matches because I had a clear strategy instead of just relying on my shots. Coach Vikash has an excellent understanding of the game and knows how to adapt his coaching to each player’s skill level. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to become a smarter and more successful tennis player.

I started playing soccer when I was 3 years old in our village. Soccer was the only sport we knew at the time and my love for it made me not want to pursue any other sports. I later moved to the US and my love for it grew even more. I went on to play in HS, College, and now I coach this sport that I love and I can't wait to learn with you!

I believe that my role is to guide my students in the discovery of their own ability to learn, grow and research as “young historians”. Students have heard repeatedly that “knowledge is power”; my belief is that teaching them to acquire knowledge and break down information they have never interacted with yields lifelong rewards.

Music and audio production have been my passion my whole life, and I would love to share the passion.
