Play Tennis at Lindberg Park

Former professional tennis player with 8+ years of coaching experience. Competed in the Australian Open Juniors (Grand Slam) and represented Ukraine on the European stage. Former NCAA Division I ( ODU/ SJSU) player with a UTR of 11.56. My coaching is energetic, technical, and personalized to each student. In the first lesson, I assess your level, identify key improvements, and build a plan to help you progress with confidence.

"A coach that teaches the true, real game of tennis at the professional level — a rare and transformative experience.

I was a four-year varsity player at Oberlin College and currently work in economic consulting. I am also currently building a post-match feedback platform for competitive players (we are currently demoing the product for a select group of players). Outside of tennis, I completed a 2,800 mile walk across America a few years ago and am currently training for an Ironman. I value discipline, consistency, and long-term development, and I enjoy working with players who want to improve and are willing to put in the work.

"My 12-year old son has been taking lessons with James and it’s been a really positive experience. James is very encouraging but also keeps him focused and working hard. My son looks forward to the lessons each work and has been doing better in his tournaments recently.
