Tennis has been my passion since I picked up a racket at the age of 8. From high school tennis to competing for the #1 Division 2 college team in the nation, the court has been my second home. For the past two decades, I've dedicated myself to teaching professional tennis full-time, bringing my expertise to top academies and clubs across Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina. My coaching philosophy revolves around fun, motivation, challenge, and positivity, ensuring that every lesson is not just a learning experience but an enjoyable journey toward improvement.
"I have been working with Judd for the last 2 years and he is hands-down the best coach I’ve ever worked with. He is innovative with his teaching approach which actually makes the new skills sticky. He also is very patient and encouraging, all while pushing me to give it my all on the court.
