Katie has discovered her passion for her tennis was not just for playing. She realized she has a passion for teaching players at all levels to help improve their game and applying what they learn to everyday life.
Katie teach beginners, intermediate, advance level players. Including adult players as well. Katie' tennis coaching style is creative, and functional. Every player is different so that’s why she believe it is important to create a unique experience for their tennis, physical, mental, technical needs. She likes to start the warm-up differently every time for the first 10 mins. Whether its practicing hand eye coordination by tossing the ball to see how the player moves on the court. Or reaction drill to test the reaction of the player. Such as footwork, technique mechanics in the ground strokes. It all depends on the player level, and how their tennis game is. The goal is building a relationship with each player in order to teach them tennis and have the players apply what they learn into their tennis game.
