Cameron C.

Hello, my name is Cameron Clemons. I am 29 years old and a graduate of the University of South Carolina. I have been playing tennis for 20 years and have a deep passion and knowledge for the sport. Since the age of 18, I have been teaching and helping refine other players’ skills through working with juniors at my former country club and serving as captain of my high school tennis team for 3 years. My father has been a tennis coach for as long as I can remember, and through his guidance, I have achieved milestones such as being named Player of the Year my senior year for Union County. Passing on what I have learned through years of practice brings me great joy, and I would love the opportunity to continue doing so.

I tend to emphasize footwork a lot since almost any ground stroke error can be traced back to improper positioning of the feet. With that being said, students can expect to move around a lot and work up a good sweat. Another thing that is overlooked by many is the mental/strategy side of the game. By enforcing high percentage tennis and ball movement, one can expect to see great success since a lot of match play involves outsmarting your opponent. Picking specific spots on the court for accuracy while rallying for consistency tends to be the best way to hone this part of one's game. While every lesson will be different, one should expect to simulate real match situations and be able to choose the best shots to win points.
