"Tyler’s relatability and excitement for the game.
Tyler
I picked up tennis as a middle schooler, played as a high schooler and enjoyed it competitively into both college (recreational) and during active duty. I continue to play, learn and tutor my children. I also had the honor of coaching elementary and middle school children as a Senior in high school. My desire to coach is in inspiring the next generation in this wonderful sport. Elaborating; my more competitive years were from 1994-1997 where I would compete across the state of Oklahoma in numerous USTA tournaments. Additionally, our high school hosted and participated in weekly matches and tournaments during the fall and spring school semesters. On a personal level, I am a Christian, husband, father, and hobbies are numerous because I’m an adventurous guy (tennis, golf, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain and trail hiking, Astronomy). Professionally, I completed my Master’s Degree in 2016 & recently my PMP Certification (Project Management Professional). Security+ (CE) certified. Additionally, I coached Jr. Flag football (6 seasons), Jr. Volleyball (1 season) & Little League Baseball (2 seasons). My MinistrySafe Background Church sponsored by First Baptist Church of Georgetown (TX) was renewed as of July 2025 which included specific training in Sexual Assault Prevention and Reporting. TMT has a copy of the previous background annual check. During the week of 21-25 July 2025, I volunteered and served as the Small Group Leader for one of the 4th & 5th grades boys and girls (16 children; 2 supporting volunteers). 2025 RECAP: 30 Different Students 173 Lessons of Varying Player Levels Age Groups included: -Young children -Teenagers -Adults

"Coach is elite when it comes to defensive back development.” Coach breaks down coverage techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and apply on the field. My footwork, eye discipline, and confidence in man and zone coverage improved immediately. He’s detailed, demanding, and knows exactly how to get DBs game-ready.

"I was in college when I met Amari. We would always hoop together. She would come after my practice and rebound for me, knock me around with a pad, and make up some crazy shooting drill she wanted to try. Her energy was unmatched. She had her own season to worry about but she was always willing to help me. I’ll never forget her for that.

"Kersten was very patient with our group and we left feeling like we had a good understanding of the game
Kersten
Golf is one of the most frustrating, demoralizing and addictive things you can do. I have been playing for 28 years. I spend 85% of my time conscious practicing , playing or thinking about golf. Each person learns the game differently and I have learned and taught myself through a variety of methods.

He is a great combination of clear, encouraging, and honest, and he's always got a simple exercise for me that gets me where I need to go without confusing me with too much stuff.
