Played junior competitive, pro-tournaments turned USPTA certified Coach. I have spent the past decade coaching at elite clubs in San Francisco, Miami, and NYC. I've studied the game thoroughly and still do, my teaching skills are always evolving. I see how you play and immediately know how to make you play, rally and have fun with tennis. A sport of a lifetime. I also manage junior high performance groups. I have a lot of drills and games to make your learning experience interesting and fun. If you are a high-performance player I could give you a very good practice, good pace rally, I could help you with your serve and strategy game. My high-performance competitive certification from Sanchez Vicario Academy provided me a great insight of the game, full of drills and modern concept strategies of understanding tennis latest advances. I could teach kids as well, love to make them have fun and like the sport.
