About
I have 15+ years of teaching experience. I am PTR certified and have taught for Boca Pointe Country Club, Addison Reserve Country Club and Sunrise Tennis Academy.
My USTA rating is 5.0. I have been ranked as high as # 3 in men's open singles in the Middle States. I compete in men's open singles tournaments on a regular basis and have won numerous men's open tournaments. I have won a USTA league 4.5 team nationals competition in 2011.
As an instructor, I emphasize proper stroke technique, consistency and superior fitness. I also emphasize mental strength/ability to focus as well as strategy. In a basic lesson with me, a player could expect to hit a lot of balls, both from the forehand and backhand side, some volleys/overheads and also spending some time on serves and return. I will focus on helping the student become consistent with these strokes before talking about adding power and being more aggressive.
I enjoy helping people improve their tennis game and fitness level.
