I have a 5.0 UTR ranking and a total of 25 years dedicated to playing and coaching tennis across all ages and skill levels. As a former tournament player, my experience is enriched by my background as an elite gymnast and former Cirque du Soleil artist. This unique blend allows me to incorporate flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination exercises into my coaching methods, creating a holistic approach to training.
"Highly recommend this coach for technical guidance and thoughtful feedback. I improved quickly in just one session. We worked on a warm-up, forehand and backhand fundamentals, and hits from both the baseline and service line. He also brought in insight from his gymnastics and movement background, which was helpful because tennis a more fluid, almost dance-like feel. He understands the mechanics and genuinely cares about teaching.
My love for tennis extends beyond the court, inspiring me to cultivate passion in others for the past 15 years. As an experienced player, I bring a deep understanding of the game and a dedication to helping each student, regardless of their current skill level, reach their full potential. My coaching style balances structured learning with a fun and engaging approach, creating a positive environment for growth and achievement.
