bring a strong background in coaching and on-court performance. I have worked closely with players in a coaching capacity, helping develop consistency, match awareness, and overall performance through structured hitting sessions and feedback. One of my most valuable experiences was serving as a hitting partner at an ATP tournament, where I trained with high-level athletes in a professional environment. I have worked with people ranging from age group of 9 to 60.
With a lifelong dedication to the sport, I cultivate a love for tennis. I specialize in personalized instruction that empowers players to elevate their game. I focus on building solid fundamentals and smart strategy.
With two decades on the court, I tailor my instruction to each player's goals and current playing abilities. As an experienced tennis player and NASM certified PT, I blend strategy, kinesiology alongside tennis fundamentals for real results and on-court success. Whether you're just starting out, or have been hitting for a while, let's elevate your game! *Requesting different coaching locations* I’m open to coaching at alternative locations in SD not listed on profile. If they are located in private communities, such as an apartment complex, please confirm if court reservations are possible when requesting.
Hi! I’m Stanislas. I’m a competitive tennis player from France with over 17 years of experience and an 11.5+ UTR. I currently play collegiate tennis in San Diego and coach players of all ages and levels. I adapt each lesson to your goals, whether you want to build consistency through repetition or focus more on live-ball drills, point play, and competition.
I offer a rare opportunity to beginners or existing players to learn tennis instantly or reach their full potential. With over 18 years of coaching and 28 years of playing experience I've developed thousands of players. I've coached players like Nikoloz Basilashvili during 2021 Indian Wells Finals who cracked ATP top 20 ranking. Currently i still work with over 300 players annually.
"My daughter has had an excellent experience training with coach Nik over the past two months. In this short period of time, her skills have dramatically improved in all key areas—forehand, backhand, serve, return, and footwork. Beyond technical development, her decision-making during matches has also significantly advanced.What stands out most is the coach’s structured and thoughtful approach to training. After every lesson,Nik provides a detailed report that outlines what was covered, highlights areas for improvement, and sets clear focus points. These reports have been incredibly helpful in guiding my daughter’s practice and accelerating her progress. During training sessions, Coach Nik explains each concept with great clarity and tailors drills to address specific weaknesses. This personalized and methodical approach has made a big difference in both my daughter’s performance and her confidence on the court.Thanks Nik!

"Coach Stephanie has been wonderful with my daughter. She just started taking lessons and already looks forward to every session. The instruction is patient, encouraging, and makes learning fun while building confidence and skills. What really stands out is Coach Stephanie's experience from playing at all levels of the game at a D1 college at UCLA and playing on the WTA Tour, along with the ability to effectively coach players of all skill levels--from beginners to advanced competitors. We're excited to see my daughter continue to grow and develop her skills with such a knowledgeable and supportive coach. Highly recommend!

Adapting Tennis Lesson Plans for Children When adapting tennis lesson plans for children, it's crucial to keep the lessons fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Here are some key strategies to consider: 1. Shorten Attention Spans: Keep lessons concise: Shorter, more frequent sessions are ideal for young children. Vary activities: Switch between drills, games, and free play to maintain interest. 2. Prioritize Fun and Games: Game-based learning: Incorporate games like "King of the Court" or "Red Light, Green Light" to make practice enjoyable. Positive reinforcement: Use praise and encouragement to build confidence. 3. Simplify Techniques: Break down strokes: Focus on the basic movements and gradually introduce more complex techniques. Use simplified cues: Keep instructions clear and concise, using simple language and visual cues. 4. Adapt Equipment: Smaller courts and lower nets: Reduce the court size and net height to make the game more manageable. Lower-compression balls: Use softer balls that are easier to control. 5. Focus on Fundamental Skills: Basic strokes: Prioritize the development of forehands, backhands, and serves. Footwork: Emphasize proper footwork patterns to improve agility and court coverage. 6. Incorporate Physical Literacy: Balance and coordination drills: Include activities like hopping, skipping, and jumping to enhance overall athleticism. Motor skill development: Focus on hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and reaction time. 7. Create a Positive Learning Environment: Patient and encouraging coaching: Be supportive and understanding of children's mistakes. Fun and inclusive atmosphere: Foster a sense of community and belonging among young players. Example Lesson Plan for Children: Warm-up: Light jogging High-fives around the court Simple stretches (arm circles, leg swings) Skill Development: Forehand mini-tennis: Use smaller rackets and softer balls on a smaller court. Backhand wall-ball: Practice hitting the ball against a wall with a consistent backswing. Serve practice: Toss the ball underhand and focus on hitting the ball over the net. Game: "Red Light, Green Light": Players freeze when the coach says "red light" and run when they hear "green light." The last player to reach the net is out. Cool-down: Static stretches (holding a hamstring stretch, touching toes) Relaxation techniques (deep breathing) By adapting lesson plans in these ways, tennis coaches can create a fun and effective learning experience for children of all ages and abilities.
