I base training from these 4 anchors: 1. Athletic Development -> footwork patterns, reaction time, agility 2. Stroke Mechanics -> correcting technical inefficiencies 3. Spatial Judgement/Ball Tracking -> how to track the ball and judge spacing 4. Strategy/Tactics -> how to exploit opponents

I’m passionate about fostering a love for tennis in players of all ages and skill levels. My decade of experience, coupled with my background as an experienced player, allows me to create engaging and effective training programs tailored to individual goals. As an ambidextrous player, I’m able to demonstrate and coach from both the forehand and backhand sides naturally, which gives students a unique visual and technical advantage when learning stroke mechanics, positioning, and shot development. In addition to tennis, I’ve played hockey and baseball throughout my life, which has given me a deep understanding of athletic movement, discipline, and cross-training techniques. I often integrate elements from those sports—like agility drills, hand-eye coordination work, and strength and conditioning regimens—that translate exceptionally well on the tennis court. Let’s work together to elevate your game!
"Great instructions, clear goals, and enthusiastic coach!
