How did you get started teaching?
I was a National. Southern, Georgia, & Florida Section Tournament touring tournament player who fell in love with coaching after offering to coach my son's USTA team.
What types of students have you worked with?
All Levels - Seriously all levels, I love coaching, especially Tennis & Fitness and the Mental training. I coach 8u all the way up to Seniors as well as top level High School and College players.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Kids team tennis & High School Team Tennis because each season is so much fun, the joy it brings them and the after season get-togethers. Specifically our last Water & Tennis Camp - hot days of tennis followed by cool wet fun!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make certain they are certified through either PTR or PTA and Net Generation as well. Then find a coach that clicks with your personality.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Know your Goals. What specifically is driving you to learn and improve your tennis? Know how willing you are to train. Do you want to start out goofy while learning or serious and learning? I use both styles depending on the student.
