Fueling a passion for tennis is what gets me out of bed. As a former D1 athlete with 5 years of coaching, I blend high-level experience with personalized instruction, helping players unlock their full potential while enjoying the game.
With a racquet in hand and a passion in my heart, I bring four years of tennis teaching experience to every lesson. While I didn't reach the professional ranks, my deep understanding of the game fuels my commitment to helping players of all levels improve and enjoy tennis. I focus on technique and strategy, with a bit of fun mixed in!
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, I lived there until the age of 19 before moving to Los Angeles, where I taught tennis for over 15 years. I also spent four years in Hawaii, where I ran my own tennis program on the island of Oahu. Currently, I am a coach at a private high school in Plano, Texas. I love fishing, cooking, tennis, and golf, and I live in Plano with my loving wife.
For two decades, I've lived and breathed the exhilarating world of professional and D1 collegiate tennis. Now, I'm driven to share the strategies and techniques that propelled my career with aspiring players of all levels. My coaching style blends high-level expertise with a passion for fostering a fun, growth-oriented environment where every student can thrive. Let's unlock your true potential on the court together.
"“I get better playing with Foster!”
Fueling my passion for tennis for over a decade, I bring a unique blend of collegiate-level experience and proven coaching techniques from the best coaches in South America. As a former state champion, I am committed to helping you unlock your full potential and elevate your game through personalized and engaging instruction.
"I am 3.5 player and I’ve been looking for a coach to improve my technique after a shoulder injury. Kaitlyn completely understood the breakdown of the serve and forehand swing mechanics. By working together, I’ve been able to fix my technique and play without further injuring my shoulder. I am very excited to continue working with her and highly recommend her to others!

Dallas tennis runs almost year-round thanks to a long warm season and a dense public-court network. The city's tennis pros (also called tennis coaches or tennis instructors) teach almost exclusively on outdoor hard courts at municipal parks - Preston Hollow, Cole Park, Reverchon, Caruth, Abbott, and Fairfax all have lighted public courts within a 15-minute drive of central Dallas. Of the 6 active coaches, one is the former lead coach at the Rafa Nadal Academy with ITF certification, and several others bring 20-plus years of competitive playing or tournament-tier coaching backgrounds. Hard-court surface is the default, which mirrors what you'll play in USTA league and most regional tournaments, so what you learn here translates directly to match play. Summer heat (June-September) pushes most sessions into early-morning or evening slots; October through May is peak coaching season with comfortable midday temperatures.
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-8 sessions build the foundation - grip, stance, forehand, backhand, ready position, basic serve motion. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | USTA 3.0-3.5 players work biweekly on targeted skills - second serve, backhand slice, doubles positioning, transition game. |
| Advanced | Every 1-2 weeks | 90 min | 4.0-plus and tournament players run 90-minute sessions focused on specific shots and match-play simulation, paired with regular live match play between lessons. |
