Nice guy on and off the court! :-) As soon as you meet me you would feel like you've known me for years.
My teaching style is more like : COME ON !!!:-) My lessons have always been very tiring for my students ( so..you'd better be strong ...cause balls just keep coming back:-)) I run and get balls back to you...so you should expect to hit more extra shots than you usually do:-). I've been called a "wall machine" for getting every ball back. No ball carts or baskets! You play and learn! Slice, spin, flat forehand and backhand! Serve & volley! Drop shot! High and low....etc. During my lessons you'd rather feel more like a player than a student. I guarantee you^: You'd be in "trouble" :) COME ON!!!
Making my students better players and stronger athletes. And of course, when they thank me for that.
