I played professionally briefly, a few satellites and challengers here and there. Then I started teaching once I stop traveling. I didn’t get any ATP ranking if you want to know but it was worth the experience.
I worked and still continue to work with various types of students. Any age Any Level
It was difficult for me at first trying to teach my daughter to play tennis. I failed miserably for the first 6 months, but didn’t give up. Now I can she is now an 8 year old player with 5 trophies already at her level .
Do your research and hire wisely. Don’t hire because you get a cheap service and it ends up costing more in the long run. You need to start with a good foundation when learning something new. I usually told my students who came to me with some technical flaws, that I wish I could undo the bad habits learned because it takes more time to fix them. Start learning the right way and the sky will be the limit for you.
Be precise and tell your coach about your goal or what you would like to work on. Try to work on something specific and improve one key element at a time. There is no such thing, you are not sure what you need to work on. If not start with an assessment and your coach should come up with a plan for you.
