I emphasize on footwork, conditioning, and mental toughness. I instill in my students the four Ps and one C, Preparation, Perseverance, Practice, Patience and Confidence. I start out assessing your skill level and formatting a program that best works for you. Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone has a different skill set. I look to bring out the best in those skill sets while maintaining a balanced tennis game. Tennis is a life long sport. The condition of your mind and body are key elements to sustaining a long fulfilled life of the game.
