Top 5 coaches for Tennis lessons near , OH

Bio: Tennis has been a passion of mine for over 30 years. I was a pretty good mid to high-level high school player who competed for the number one singles and doubles spot on a good team. I was even on a D3 college team for a brief time, but as I got older and dove into better form and movement and especially the mental aspects of the game, my playing and teaching only got better. Sharing my love of tennis and the experience I have gained with students is a true joy. I like to keep it fun while working hard to improve, and I would love the opportunity to work with you. My teaching will first and foremost focus on the enjoyment of the game, no matter how serious or advanced you are. Sometimes that means just hitting the ball back and forth in an effort to stay relaxed, talk, and have a good time, but this also encourages consistency in your tennis game. We can all hit it hard, but consistency wins matches! Tennis classes will always involve warm-ups, drills, and games, but beyond that, every class is tailored to the individual or group and will evolve as the player evolves. I will study form with you through visualizations, drills, and individual time helping you through any issues you are having. We will learn about strategy in singles and doubles and how to overcome your own faults (pun intended!) in the game, especially when playing against someone at or above your level. I also truly believe in the mental aspect of individual sports and performances, and I teach both music and tennis with the "inner game" in mind. We will explore the thoughts and potential doubts that can interfere with good performance and how to overcome them. I am excited to meet you and explore this wonderful game together! I am equally comfortable in one-on-one lessons, doubles, small groups and classes. All ages and skill levels welcome.
