Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know the student, learn what other sports they have played, as it relates to their tennis. I like to fill them with confidence and make sure they are having fun, by pointing out first, all the things they do correctly, what the student should keep doing!
Then I add plenty of instruction, once we have created the relationship where they are comfortable to take in the information.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
-Playing high level Jr and College tennis.
- Working 15 years as a tennis director at John Newcombe Tennis Ranch.
- USPTA Certified.
- I really enjoy the process of teaching, when a student has trouble grasping a concept, finding a way of conveing the message in the way the individual will best recieve it.
