"Manny’s lesson was quite well organized, and I appreciated how encouraging he was throughout. The new serve practice method was pretty helpful, and he was flexible when I asked to focus on volleys and slide techniques. Still, I think working more on footwork and backhand positioning could help me react faster. Overall, a good session that left me feeling motivated to keep improving. If you're looking for a coach who’s consistent and attentive, maybe give Manny a try.

"The lesson went pretty well. Marc gave me some good tips on court positioning, forehand/backhand drives and well as some placement strategies. I can take the feedback and work on it during my pickup games. Looking forward to the next lesson with Marc to keep building on what I’ve learned so far.

Since I was nine years old, tennis has been my passion and my life's journey. Competing as a junior and in regional and national men's tournaments honed my skills, culminating in my ranking as the top junior player in Washington DC at 17 and 18 years old. Those formative years on the court shaped me into the player and person I am today, driven by a love for the game and a commitment to excellence.
"The lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my serve technique, Marc really focused on specific adjustments that made a noticeable difference. Though I still have some work to do, I feel more confident moving forward. That lesson gave me a clearer understanding of my game. Still, I’m optimistic about what’s next with Marc.

Having spent the last 20 years on the diamond, I've developed a passion for fostering a love for baseball in players of all ages and skill levels.

My coaching philosophy centers on building a strong foundation of fundamental skills and mechanics in an effort to allow each player to reach their maximum potential. My main goal is to improve on-field success while creating a fun and supportive learning environment. Everyone has dreams, it’s my job to help turn them into reality.
"“In my freshman year of high school, I was a utility player on the junior varsity team. In my sophomore year, I was the starting right fielder on the varsity team. Coach Peter’s drills for tracking fly balls helped me become the best defensive outfielder on my team.”

I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.
