Even though he hits a two-handed backhand, he fixed my one-handed backhand and I didn’t even know that I was hitting it wrong.

How it works

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonThe first lesson is really important and I focus on getting to know who I’m working with and then creating a plan, specifically a set of goals on what they are looking to achieve from Tennis and how serious they are about the sport.

Lesson 11+We work on patterns, understanding, game, plans, meditation techniques, and focusing and swing path/feel more often.

Lesson 4-10We focus more on mental and the physical aspects honing the groundstrokes in making more consistent rallies.

Lesson 2-3We develop and work on the basics and we go through a few drills, mainly focusing on technique and consistency.

About your tennis coach

Former Division One tennis standout from Coppin State University turned passionate mentor and coach. My journey in tennis has been nothing short of exhilarating, marked by victories on the court and a deep commitment to nurturing talent in others. Since 2022, I've been making waves in the tennis world, clinching multiple tournament titles and solidifying my reputation as a force to be reckoned with. But my true passion lies in guiding the next generation of tennis stars to reach their full potential. In the summer of 2023, I had the honor of directing the Tennis Camp at Cocoa Beach Racquet Club, where I worked closely with juniors aged 5-17, imparting technical skills and instilling values of sportsmanship, discipline, and perseverance. My coaching journey has taken me to prestigious academies such as JTCC and IMG Academy, where I lend my expertise to shape the future of tennis. Through personalized training, strategic insights, and unwavering support, I strive to empower my students to excel both on and off the court. Join me in pursuing excellence, where every swing, every lesson, and every triumph brings us closer to greatness.
