About your tennis coach

As a seasoned player and 9 years as a certified PTR coach, I developed a successful program Unlocking effortless power, through sound frequency, timing, and utilizing the Acoustic Genesis method. Perfect for Seniors that have lost their fitness and not seeing the ball. Who I’m a Great Fit For: • The "Frustrated" To many technical thoughts ; timing off ,but the ball isn't going anywhere, I will show you how to stop "forcing" the ball and start using your body’s natural anchor . for more power • Former Athletes: If you have a background in football, basketball, or other sports, I speak your language. We will use your existing athletic instincts to master tennis movement faster. • Players Prone to Injury: By teaching "Effortless Power," I help players reduce the strain on their wrists, elbows, and shoulders caused by rigid, outdated techniques. • The "Student of the Game": If you are tired of basic "keep your eye on the ball" advice and want to understand the physics and secrets of elite-level movement, we are a perfect match.
