About your tennis coach

I am an RSPA Elite Tennis & Pickleball Professional, PPR Certified Pickleball Professional, USTA Certified Coach, and USTA Safe Play approved coach with extensive experience teaching both tennis and pickleball to juniors and adults of all ability levels. My coaching experience ranges from introducing brand-new players to tennis and pickleball to developing competitive league and tournament players. In tennis, I have worked with high-performance juniors through the 12.0 UTR level, as well as adult recreational, league, and tournament players. In pickleball, I coach players from beginners learning the fundamentals through experienced competitive players looking to improve their strategy, shot selection, court positioning, and overall performance. My philosophy in both sports is to develop the complete player. Coaching goes beyond simply improving strokes and technique. I focus on four important areas of player development: technical, tactical, mental, and emotional. Lessons are customized to the individual. Beginners learn proper fundamentals, movement, scoring, positioning, and how to play the game with confidence. Intermediate and advanced players work on refining technique, recognizing patterns, improving decision-making, developing effective strategies, and learning how to perform under competitive pressure. Whether your goal is to learn tennis or pickleball for the first time, improve your recreational or league play, prepare for tournaments, or compete at a higher level, my goal is to help you become a more confident, knowledgeable, and complete player while enjoying the process of getting better.
