About
Hi, Tennis players of all ages. Playing tennis is not only a fun way to spend your time and learn a sport, but probably one of the best things you can take part in if you would to get in better shape or get a healthy dose of exercise. I have been playing tennis for 15 years participating in ITF and WTA tournaments and working with players of all levels ranging from beginners to semi-professionals (USPTR- licensed). Playing #1 for college team. I have been working with children as a counselor and tennis coach for sport summer camps, as well as with adults of different age.
I am very good in noticing errors and helping players not only improve their technical skills but also develop a strategic outlook to have more success overall in their tennis game. All levels are welcome, I pride myself in being able to help anyone improve their tennis game quite quickly.
I love to coach and love working with younger kids to help them develop proper technique at an early age, but I also enjoy coaching teens and adults because it can be even more interactive. I always go the extra mile to do what needs to get done in whatever I'm doing. I work well with others and I'm always positive no matter the situation.I always emphasize proper technique and giving 100 percent at all times. If you work hard on the tennis court and do the proper things you will improve your game. I structure lessons differently, it all depends on the needs of the particular individual, whether it be more of a hitting lesson, feeding lesson or a mix of both.
