With two decades devoted to tennis, I help players refine their skills and unlock their full potential. My experience as a seasoned player shapes my coaching, providing strategic insights for lasting improvement. I create a supportive and engaging environment where every student thrives. With my coaching experience assistant coaching during summer camps at Pierce College and Cal State Northridge allows me to focus on fundamentals.

I am also a member of USTA Coaching and USTA Coaching and PlaySafe certified.
"Martin's patience really stood out to me, and I appreciated the helpful feedback on my serve. We started with some good warm up and then went over flat and kick serves which Iβve been struggling. The feedback he gave immediately improved my feel of the flat serve. Heβs a chill dude and fun to work with. I'd suggest giving Martin a shot if you're looking to improve your tennis skills gently and thoughtfully.

Players 3.0 to 4.0. We will adapt you to warm-up drills similar to what you would see in all colleges. This will allow us to see how comfortable you are on court. And based on what I see in your on-court abilities will determine how fast we move you into tiebreaks and/or sets. We'll discuss what things you would like to improve on and work those into what I call micro drills.

In the first lesson, I evaluate the player's technique, footwork, and overall consistency through rally-based drills. I also ask about their goals and experience to tailor the training plan.
