Hi, my name is Henry, and I am a 21-year-old college student! I have 8 years of competitive tennis experience, with my peak ranking being in the top 100 in Maryland. I played in national tournaments for 5 years and have 4 years of sports coaching experience. I love working with all age groups and am passionate about helping others improve their skills and enjoy the game.

"Henry's lesson was quite helpful, especially since we focused on one specific point each time and I saw real progress through consistent practice. Though I’m still working on some aspects, the structured approach made a notable difference. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing how much I can improve with continued effort, and I'd say it’s worth giving him a try if you want a steady, no-pressure style.

"Manny’s lesson was quite well organized, and I appreciated how encouraging he was throughout. The new serve practice method was pretty helpful, and he was flexible when I asked to focus on volleys and slide techniques. Still, I think working more on footwork and backhand positioning could help me react faster. Overall, a good session that left me feeling motivated to keep improving. If you're looking for a coach who’s consistent and attentive, maybe give Manny a try.
