What classes do you teach?
I enjoy teaching all ages and all levels but most of my experience has been with high level juniors and those who want to take the game a bit more seriously.
What do you like about the RAC?
I love the fact that the RAC offers every instrument one would need to succeed in a healthy lifestyle. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and the facility has everything a tennis player needs to reach their full potential.
What do you enjoy about being a tennis professional?
The best part about being a tennis pro is that I get to witness someone grow not only as a player but as a person. I get to have a unique relationship with each student and watch them challenge themselves day in and day out to become not just a great player but a great person.
What is your coaching philosophy?
I have a unique approach to coaching where I instruct based on each individual player’s strength and weaknesses. Some players might need to be motivated a bit more than others and some might need a bit more of a relaxed strategy in order to reach their potential. I really focus on the mental and strategy part of the game so my player can utilize their game to the fullest. Every match can be won with the right mindset.
