I started playing tennis when I was 8 years old in Brazil. I got to #12 in the country U16 and #800 in the world U18. I later played at UAB (D1 college) where I was the captain of the tennis team. During the summers I would teach large groups from all ages and private lessons as well. I love to be able to teach someone the proper technique to maximize their potential and I care a lot about my students. I have experience in clay and hard courts and I would say my style of play is lots of spin, consistency, energy, and focus on the serve. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.

"Honestly, I felt like I made progress with Giovani's lesson since I’m actually seeing more techniques coming together .

"My kids Nyla and Ben work with Coach Matt on a weekly basis every Sunday during the season. When we drive into the club we are always excited to see what he has set up for the kids. Whether it’s a customs putt putt course, a long drive competition with markers and top tracer, or “break stuff day” where he sets up fun breakable or knockdown-able targets the kids can hit at. He will even take things a bit further and go out there in himself and challenge the kids to try and hit him! We truly enjoy Coach Matt and his teaching technique, the kids can’t get enough of him!

"I've worked with several coaches over the years, but Coach Boeglin stands out as truly exceptional. As someone who played high level high school ball, I was looking for someone who could fine-tune my game to prepare for the college environment (not just run drills) and he delivered. His attention to detail, knowledge of high-level strategy, and ability to break down even the most subtle aspects of footwork, timing, and decision-making have elevated my game significantly. He pushes me to compete at my highest level every session, while still being incredibly supportive and focused on my growth. Whether it’s sharpening my off-ball movement, increasing my efficiency in pick-and-roll situations, or improving my conditioning and mental toughness, every workout is purposeful and intense. He treats the game like a craft, and it shows in his coaching. Highly recommend for serious players who want to level up and reach their full potential.
