About Me
I've been playing tennis since the age of four and competing most of my entire life. Though I'm more of a traditional player I teach a more modern game of tennis that has been compiled through years of learning at numerous academies and teaching centers.
For beginners I use the standard progression that sets a foundation that builds fundamentals allowing an individual to go as far as they would like in the sport.
When you have loved something since a child, you'll never want to give it up, for me that is tennis. Tennis is a lifetime sport, a game of human chess that has a natural ebb and flow between attacking and defending. Extremely demanding both physically and mentally. Each day I go out to blur the lines between hard work and play to build the best players and a love of the game."
Teaching Style
I look at each player as an individual and structure the lessons accordingly in order to maximize the time we have together using both short and long-term planning. Lessons typically have some type of live ball or fed ball warm up, instructional components, and then live ball work solidifying lesson.
