👋 Hi, I’m Coach Sam (Sam Bernardy) — a private tennis coach in Los Angeles, California. I competed at a D1 collegiate & ATP level, won multiples CIF championships and USTA open level tournaments in singles and doubles. I began teaching tennis in high school and maintained a career as an instructor during my time on the tour. I’ve always had a passion for teaching, and found my self enjoying it more than playing professionally. Developing talent from the ground up is my way of showing you anything’s possible. I Have worked closely with high profile clientele such as Pete Sampras’s son, his nephew, and a laundry list of entertainment industry personalities. My coaching style: ✅ conditioning + body control are #1 ✅ technical & precise (focused on the small changes that make the biggest impact) ✅ strategy, court awareness & a killer instinct ✅ high intensity interval training (the tennis player’s best friend) ✅ A smile, a metaphor and music to drown out my yelling ;) My philosophy: be the change you want to see!
