I’ve been playing tennis since I was young. I play tennis to keep myself fit and as a means to unwind. It improves my reflexes and coordination and I’d love to share the sport with you!
"I’d say Ryan’s lesson was quite helpful, especially how he focused on my grip and footwork, I really felt like I got a clearer sense of fundamentals. Though, I still need some consistency, but I guess that’s part of the process. Still, I’d consider trying another lesson to keep building on what I learned.

My name is Matthew and I’m a professional golf instructor based in Colorado! My coaching approach is based on a system for teaching golf, uniquely designed to guide golfers at all levels - yes, even beginners will find themselves launching that ball skyward in our very first session together! Our lessons are more than just theory, they're filled with practical drills guaranteed to sharpen your skills and give you that satisfying feeling of consistent improvement. I can't wait to help you on your golfing journey! I’ve been in the golf industry for over 20 years, starting at a driving range in Illinois and ultimately working with Titleist fitting golfers from all over the world. Are you a better player who has plateaued with their game? I can help you. If you are a first time golfer, I am highly skilled with beginners, from pro athletes taking up the game for the first time, to the CEO’s wife wanting to either learn or FINALLY be able to hit the ball in the air. I also speak fluent Spanish, hold a single digit handicap and have two hole-in-one’s to my name. I have played some of the world’s best golf courses and look forward to making your golf dreams come true!!
"Wow, I found the lesson quite useful, especially playing on that high-end simulator where I got to see my ball speed and swing direction in real time. Still, I think increasing the muscle memory of my golf swing could really help me build more consistency over time. Though, I left feeling confident about what needs work, and I might try some specific drills to reinforce what I learned. Matthew’s approach was steady and informative, and I’d say it’s worth giving him a try if you’re looking to refine your game.

With decades of experience playing and approaching a decade of coaching, I am deeply immersed in the world of golf. A member of the Colorado Golf Association and boasting a USGA GHIN Handicap in the single digits. I'm now focusing on helping others. From receiving repeat special invitations to prestigious events like the Golfweek US Senior Challenge to participating in PGA-sanctioned events, I've now transitioned into coaching. Hailing from Ventura County, CA, I developed an enduring love for the game from a young age. Today, I find myself even more passionate about golf, honored to coach others professionally. With patience and understanding, I tailor my instruction to each golfer's unique learning style, swing, and goals, ensuring the easiest route to success. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, I'm here to help you elevate your game and follow your passion for golf.
"I felt there was ample time during the lesson, which let me really focus on specific areas like making my swing more natural, though I think more iron improvement is needed. It's encouraging to see such patience and attention to detail from James, and I might come back to work on those consistency issues. Still, I appreciated the relaxed pace, which made practice feel manageable and less stressful. If you're open to gradual progress with a calm, supportive approach, I’d consider trying James.

For over two decades, I've had the privilege of playing the beautiful sport of soccer and sharing my passion with teammates, coaches, and youth players. My coaching blends technical expertise with a focus on fostering a love for the game, ensuring each student reaches their full potential. Throughout my soccer career, I've had the opportunity to play on a C1 and Premier traveling team, was a Varsity starter throughout my 4 years of high school, and played all 4 years at a Division II college. Outside of my traveling, high school, and college team, I also made the Minnesota State and Regional Olympic Development Program team for 5 years. I enjoy coaching and seeing youth players get excited about the sport of soccer. Throughout the years I've coached in a variety of ways whether it was through age group training, team training, private lessons, or coaching traveling teams. Small group training or private lessons are my favorite because it allows me to focus on an individual and give them undivided attention to ensure they are leaving a better player than when we started the session. I look forward to working with you or your soccer player looking to grow in their soccer career!
"Awesome as always!

"Jeremy really knows how to analyze my golf techniques and makes improvements feel natural and easy to grasp. My game’s gotten much more relaxed and confident, especially with my shots feeling more effortless. Still, I’m hoping to work on my back swing and follow-through to get a little more distance. If you’re looking to refine your technique without overcomplicating things, Jeremy’s a good option to consider.

"I loved how Harris explained why my drives often veer to the right and showed me how to adjust for a straighter shot. The clear guidance made a big difference in my swing. If you want to improve your driving skills, Harris’s lessons are definitely worth trying!
