About
"Tennis is Life and Life is Tennis" - I once had a player from Argentina who played for the University of Hawaii @ Manoa tell me this phrase. At the time I did not think much of it as a college student, but now I really appreciate and understand how tennis has enriched the overall [Quality of My Life.]
Tennis has allowed me opportunities to travel around the world both at the junior and professional level, work with all levels from beginners to professionals, and network with some of leading influencers in the industry.
At this stage in my life, it's about sharing my knowledge and understanding and love of the GAME.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was watching the 2016 animation film [BALLERINA] with my daughter and towards the end of movie the ballet instructor asked the 2 girls the same exact question, "Why do you dance?"
You'll have to watch the movie and find out.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
1.)
If you are just starting then find a coach who is enegetic and makes it FUN.
2.)
If you are more experienced and looking to bring your level of play up a notch and compete you should have a coach that makes you become more self-aware and responsible for your own tennis.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
This depends the students maturity and self awareness level.
