I have a passion for working with students and helping them learn. Witnessing my players' growth and development as individuals gives me a tremendous sense of accomplishment. When I can positively influence their skills, I feel fulfilled in my role as a coach. Additionally, I strive to foster a friendly and supportive relationship with my players, as I believe that being seen as a friend first, then a coach, is crucial for maximizing the learning potential and making lessons engaging and enjoyable for the students. In group lessons, I incorporate diverse group exercises to enhance the overall learning experience.

Just want to teach you to crush the ball and go low. I’m a 23 year old kid that’s won on the SCPGA Jr. Tour trying to make enough money to compete in tournaments.

Below are some of my swings and swings I have coached. Message for Junior rate.

"I’ve taken a few lessons with Jacob now and my swing has only improved. What I liked most is he helped me understand how to generate more power in my golf swing, which is something I’ve been wanting to improve on as an 51 year old golfer, and also how to get it out without putting strain on my body. He does a great job dumbing down concepts for someone like me to understand i.e. making analogies to other sports and for me that helps a lot since I did not grow up playing golf.

I’ve spent the past five years teaching golfers of all skill levels, helping them build confidence, consistency, and a deeper understanding of the game. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. I’m excited to share my knowledge with you and help you enjoy the game while reaching your full potential.

"Good

I had the best professional teachers from childhood. Maradona, Pele, and Phillips. A couple more, I’ll tell you in person. Pepperdine University graduate. I coached a lot of younger professional players when I was young, anything to get their attention and they listened. Euro 2024 and a lot of countries players. If you want me to coach your team to win a league it’s not difficult for me. I don’t need to play to coach. I prefer to play and coach.

Former D1 and D3 tennis player at Ball State University with a 12 UTR. One of my favorite moments in my career was making the Semifinals of the NCAA D3 Singles Championship in Orlando during my freshman year at Pacific University (Oregon). Tennis has been my passion since day one and it’s shaped who I am. Now I coach because I love helping others level up and see real improvement. Whether it’s fixing the little things or building confidence, I’m all about making the game more fun, competitive, and rewarding for every player I work with.

"Hey, Mason's lesson was quite good, I think? He's definitely good at explaining things, and I noticed some useful tips during our time. Though, I still feel there's room for sharpening my technique, but I’m feeling optimistic about the next lesson. Still, it’d be great if some specific areas could be a bit more polished. But hey, I’d mention you should try Mason if you're looking for a steady, no-fuss coach.

I have a 5.0 UTR ranking and a total of 25 years dedicated to playing and coaching tennis across all ages and skill levels. As a former tournament player, my experience is enriched by my background as an elite gymnast and former Cirque du Soleil artist. This unique blend allows me to incorporate flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination exercises into my coaching methods, creating a holistic approach to training.

"Highly recommend this coach for technical guidance and thoughtful feedback. I improved quickly in just one session. We worked on a warm-up, forehand and backhand fundamentals, and hits from both the baseline and service line. He also brought in insight from his gymnastics and movement background, which was helpful because tennis a more fluid, almost dance-like feel. He understands the mechanics and genuinely cares about teaching.

"Another great lesson. Worked on my weakness, hitting balls in the air rather than letting the ball bounce.

For over 30 years, I've shared my love for tennis with students from beginners to intermediate levels with proven techniques with a personalized approach, helping you achieve your goals while enjoying the game. I am committed to developing well-rounded players. Also, having 2degrees in education from a major university, (where I played varsity tennis for two years) has helped me greatly in shortening a players learning curve. AND…I make learning fun! If you wanna try me out for a first lesson I will discount it to only 10.00 for a 1/2 hour lesson! so you can see my methods of teaching and the fun we can have together

"I had such a great lesson with Roger! He taught me the fundamentals of the forehand, backhand, volleys, and how to hit a lob, but what really stood out was how much he focused on proper technique and the small details that make a big difference. One tip that really stuck with me was learning to keep my eyes on the contact point when hitting the ball, which immediately helped my consistency. Roger is patient, encouraging, and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, no matter your skill level. I left the lesson feeling more confident and excited to keep improving. This lesson might honestly be one of the reasons I hope to come back to San Clemente someday. I’d love to train with Roger again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game!
