K.O. Tennis Academy

About

I am an enthusiastic tennis professional with over 15 years of experience coaching high performance tennis players. I am the men's and women's head tennis coach for the University of St. Francis. I am also PTR Certified with a professional rating in both "High Performance" and 10 & under "Quick Start" tennis. I have coached many highly ranked juniors as well as my own son who has won USTA national and sectional titles, and now plays Division 1 college tennis.

I have combined my analytical skills with video technology to offer my students on-court video analysis. I use video analysis in many of my lessons so that you can see what you need to work on and your improvement over time. Video analysis is included in the price of all my private lessons.

I enjoy working with all players from beginner to advanced. My personal reward is seeing real improvement from my students both technically and tactically. I like talking with parents of junior tennis players to help guide them through the challenging and sometimes confusing path of junior and college tennis in the USA.

Looking forward to seeing you on the court!
