Madison coached me for 2 years. I didn’t have any tennis experience before I met her. Initially, I just wanted a couple of lessons so I could play at the same level as my friends, but after 2 months of lessons I was killing them, so they wouldn't play with me anymore. I continued to take lessons with her and I have become a strong player, who has been recruited to play for multiple teams and reached the NorCal Sectionals 2 years in a row. This fall I will also be a coach for a high school tennis team that has a long tradition of winning and producing college lever players. I don’t think I would have gotten to this point or confident enough to take on this new position without her coaching, and encouragement.
Her practices were always well structured. I always felt like I left like I was improving with each session. She made tennis fun and easy to learn. She was quick to point out what I was doing wrong on every stroke, serve and volley and gave me tips to perfect my technique. She also helped me watch films of my matches and my upcoming opponents, to work on areas of improvement and provide strategies to help me win.
When I worked with her, she was a full-time student and also coaching at Santa Clara University, working with professional tennis players and elite high school players. She had a busy schedule, but I am grateful that she managed to find time for me. Now that she has moved away, it hasn’t been easy finding a replacement. I’ve tried 6 different coaches, but none of them compare to her.
Madison coached my teenage daughter who plays competitive tennis. She’s an excellent teacher who has experience being on the international tennis circuit. She’s patient, builds great rapport with the player, and is able to motivate them. She offers excellent tennis techniques which helped improved my daughter’s game immensely. Any student would be fortunate to have Madison as their coach. I highly recommend her.
