I have played varsity baseball for 4 years, as well as competitive travel ball for all of my life… and one year of JUC.

I also emphasize preparation for professional scenarios such as click-track performance, touring expectations, and studio efficiency.

"I’ve taken a few lessons with Vikash and have really enjoyed them so far. He’s good at spotting small things in your technique and explaining how to fix them without overcomplicating it. We worked on my serve, footwork, and overall consistency, and I’ve already noticed a difference when I play. The lessons are also pretty relaxed, which makes it easier to learn and actually enjoy the process. I’d definitely recommend giving Vikash a try if you’re looking to improve your tennis.
