I've the largest array of teaching: clubs, privately, USTA, Utah Youth Tennis, and Parks & Rec Centers I'm confident in personlizing not only what I teach, but how I teach depending on the age, skill and personality of my students. I always find ways to connect with them! Knowing how and when to progress drills to be more challenging and regressing them to permit greater success sets me apart from other coaches. I have an extensive list of warm-ups, which are vital to start with. From there we build up technique, using micro challenges to apply healthy pressure found in a real match.
