If you want a down to earth coach who has progressed from learning tennis at 40 to captaining USTA Nationals, and District Championships team and I play currently at the 4.0-4.5 level. I have a USTA coaching certification, past Assistant for High School teams, past President of the Boulder Tennis Association. My strength is on teaching technique , strategy and mental toughness and sports psychology for Tennis using the Inner Game System which helps develop you to be your own best coach. I teach having fun and enjoying yourself as a foundation and then developing the winning mindsets and skills to succeed. Experienced with helping players that want to move up from beginner 3.0 to higher levels including captaining teams or tournaments. Specialties are developing a strong serve, all around game and positive attitude. I believe in taking a lesson and then working on that skill in practice and matches before the next lesson so you integrate the knowledge into your game. If you have any questions please reach out. Thanks Chris

I have been playing tennis since I was around 10, played varsity 4 years at Fairview Highschool, and competed at the collegiate level before starting graduate school at CU Boulder. I have previously taught youth lessons at red and orange ball levels, but am comfortable with all levels.
