Dustin A.

Hi, my name is Dustin. I have played tennis since I was 7! I moved to Florida from Michigan to go to school at USF. I’m currently playing tennis on USF’s travel club team! I love tennis and want it to be a part of my life. I've trained privately and in group settings competitively, reaching a UTR of 8 I competed in many USTA and UTR tournaments around the country. I also volunteered at my High school Jenison Public Schools, I coached the entire team helping them with technique and competitive play! I’m eager to coach competitively or recreationally or just as a hitting partner!

I bring a versatile approach to the court depending on each player’s goals. For players who want a workout and fast-paced sessions, I can provide high-energy hitting, rally consistency, and match-like intensity. For those who want to focus on improving technique, I can break down strokes, footwork, and strategy with patient, step-by-step instruction. I’m comfortable working with juniors, adult beginners, or experienced players who just want someone competitive to hit with. My own background is at a UTR 8 (NTRP 4.5) level, so I can adapt from being a hitting partner at an advanced pace to teaching fundamentals for new players. Ultimately, my goal is to create sessions that are both fun and productive, leaving players motivated and improving every time they step on the court!
