About Me
👋 Hi, I’m Coach Tom (Tom Ziv) — a private tennis coach in Los Angeles, California.
I competed at a high ATP level, ranked inside the ATP top hundreds, and was #3 nationally.
After my playing career, I became a coach for one reason:
I love helping people unlock levels they didn’t think they had.
❌ most lessons fail for a simple reason:
there’s no plan. It’s just hitting… and hoping.
Now I coach adults and juniors who want real improvement — real results!
Teaching Style
I combine high-level playing experience with a structured, results-driven coaching approach. When I work with both adults and junior, I help them improve their technique, footwork, match strategy, and confidence under pressure.
My coaching style:
âś… sharp technical details (so you know exactly what to fix)
âś… footwork + patterns that translate to match play
âś… strategy + confidence under pressure
âś… high-energy sessions (cardio + intensity)
✅ and yes… music — because the vibe matters
