"Mateo tweaked his grip and I saw immediate impact on my son’s drive
Mateo
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.

"Wow, I gotta say, spending an hour with Marc really paid off. I learned a lot, and honestly, it was a pretty good use of my money. He’s a nice coach who clearly knows his stuff, and I came away with some useful tips. Still, I think there’s room to sharpen my skills further, but I’m optimistic about next time. If you’re considering a lesson, you might want to try Marc and see how it goes.

"We are beginners so we started with the basics. Dinks, forehand, backhand, overhead, and serving. DeJuan was very patient and had a great attitude
DeJuan
With 25 years of golfing experience, I am from the hometown Augusta Ga home of the Masters. I proudly won the CSRA Regional Championship in 2001 and earned a golf scholarship to the University of West Georgia. My deep-rooted passion for the game, coupled with my competitive background, drives me to help others excel on the course. Whether you’re aiming to refine your skills or improve your game, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
"Honestly, trying golf on the course for the first time was quite a different experience, but Chris made it manageable. The lesson definitely highlighted what I need to work on, especially driver control, though I still find myself a bit inconsistent with my long shots. Still, it's encouraging to see progress on the course itself, and I think a few more focused practice on the driving range could really help tighten up my game. Overall, Chris's approach feels solid and practical. I might just need some more time to get everything fully together. Wouldn't mind seeing how my game evolves with a few more lessons like this.
