About Me
Hi, my name is Bill. * Master Professional * SportsEdTV.com Contributor (#1 Sports Instruction Website In The World) * My many years of coaching has led to great experiences with beginners up to 6.0 or about 12 UTR. level players (college level). * B.S. in Industrial Psychology from CSUEB, Master's Thesis in Education. * Published 11 books available on Amazon, Visual Training for Tennis, The Art of Coaching High School Tennis, The Athlete Centered Coach All lesson fees include court reservation fees, to avoid surprises. Over the years, it has been a pleasure to learn from more than 15 coaches who have had #1 players in the world, but even more importantly, with those Tennis Professionals who really understand how you feel when you are coming to a lesson. With over 200+ USPTA continuing education credits, I am fairly certain I am among the top 5% of Tennis Coaches in the surrounding area. It's all about YOUR best Tennis. So I take the time to discover your learning style and which style of shots is ideal for you. I never teach a cookie-cutter approach. Everyone is different and has different goals; we work together so that you can have your most rapid advancement in the sport.
Teaching Style
If you are a beginner, you will rally in the first lesson. I coach many beginners and they become tennis players in six lessons or less, you learn to serve, hit forehands and backhands, volleys and some of the etiquette that will make you socially fit into the tennis scene. Lately I have been teaching more couples, and also introducing them to other people to play tennis.

Bill is a true coach who knows how to teach tennis in a way that works for you, the player. Rather than trying to force everyone into the same technique or playing style, he takes the time to understand how you naturally move, what your strengths are, and what works best for your body. What really sets Bill apart is that he doesn't just know tennis, he knows how to teach tennis. He has a great ability to identify what needs improvement, explain it in a way that makes sense, and give you practical adjustments that you can immediately feel and apply on the court. There was always a purpose behind what we were working on rather than simply going through drills. My partner and I both came away as better and more confident players, with a much better understanding of our own games. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely coach you and help develop the best version of your game rather than trying to mold you into a one-size-fits-all player, I highly recommend Bill.
Helped me grasp the basics of tennis in a short period of time, with a focus on mental techniques that catalyzed my learning process.
We couldn't give Bill a high enough review. Not only was he great with our daughter, but he was great in communicating with the parents as well. We look forward to rebooking with Bill in the near future!
He is an experienced coach with patience and understanding with a beginner.
