About Me
I am Patrick, a recent graduate from William Woods University and a former All-American college tennis player from the Netherlands. I have played competitive tennis for over 20 years and competed at the collegiate level for five years, gaining experience at a high level both individually and as part of a team environment.
Throughout my college career, I earned multiple athletic and academic awards, with the most notable being named the 2021 Conference Player of the Year. I also hold the school records for most career singles wins, doubles wins, and combined wins, achievements that reflect my dedication, consistency, and passion for the sport.
In addition to my playing experience, I have developed extensive coaching experience working with juniors and adults of all levels, ranging from UTR 1–8 and USTA 1.0–5.0 players. I previously served as the Head Pro of a local tennis club in Virginia, where I coached private lessons, clinics, camps, and competitive players looking to elevate their game.
Teaching Style
My coaching philosophy focuses on creating a positive, professional, and results-driven environment where players can improve both technically and mentally. I specialize in stroke development, footwork, match strategy, consistency, and building confidence on the court. Every lesson is personalized to the player’s level, goals, and learning style to ensure steady improvement while keeping the game enjoyable.
Whether you are a beginner learning the fundamentals or a competitive player preparing for tournaments, my goal is to help you develop your skills, confidence, and love for tennis through structured and engaging lessons.
