About Me

Hey! My name is Katie, I was born and raised in England and moved out to the United States when I was 18 to play college tennis and pursue my degree in Exercise Science. Playing tennis at the NCAA DII was a rewarding experience that combines high-level competition with personal growth both on and off the court. Beyond competition, college tennis allowed me to experience variety within coaching techniques that are specific for all types of players. My education in exercise science provides a strong foundation for coaching tennis by offering in-depth knowledge of human movement, biomechanics, physiology, as well as techniques to improve stroke mechanics, footwork, and on-court decision-making.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is energetic, positive, and player-focused. I specialize in building solid fundamentals while tailoring each lesson to fit the player’s goals, personality, and learning style. I emphasize footwork, consistency, smart shot selection, and developing mental toughness on the court. My lessons balance technical instruction, dynamic drills, and fun, competitive games to keep players engaged and progressing. I believe in clear, simple coaching cues and constant encouragement, helping players improve quickly while loving every minute on court. But also, and arguably more importantly, I want to have fun, I want the player(s) to have fun, and I want no one to ever feel like coming to a lesson is a chore, but rather something they look forward to all week!
