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.

Myia
The game of basketball has given me so much joy in life! I love the way the ball sounds when you bounce it. I love the way the net sounds when the ball goes in. I love shooting on mini hoops, regulation sized hoops, swimming pool hoops, and anything in between. If there's a hoop and a ball, I'm playing. Heck, I remember playing on crates when I was younger. I love playing inside, outside, it doesn't matter. I love getting into a stance and locking somebody up on defense. I love outhustling everybody on the other team for loose balls. I love making my teammates better and being a leader on the court. I want to share my 35 + years of basketball knowledge and experience with boys and girls of all ages in hopes of helping them become the best basketball players and human beings they can possibly be (they go hand in hand). If you bring me on as your personal basketball coach, we will spend time on the court (offense and defense) as well as break down film (watching film is what helps you pick up on new moves). I look forward to working with you!
