"I used to be a defensive tackle (DT) in a NCAA football team. When I first started working with coach Howard, I was 5'10" and 245lbs. I was really committed to tennis. Sometimes I'd drive an hour one way for lessons twice during the weekend. I soaked up everything coach Howard taught me, like a sponge, especially working on my serve and return. After about 9 months, coach suggested I start playing locally instead of driving that distance. I jumped right in and started playing in a 2.5 league. Within 15 months of learning from coach Howard, I was down to 200 pounds. I am 180 pounds now.

"I have learned so much from beginning tennis with Ben that I am now able to rally comfortable from anywhere on the court, and utilize strategy and shot placement.

"I'm getting quite a bit from Raman’s lessons, particularly the practical drills that really help sharpen my match play skills.

"My lesson with Jose was quite good, though I’d say it’s more of a steady improvement rather than dramatic change. The highlight for me was how he focused on refining my backhand technique, which was pretty helpful. I still think I need to work on consistency, but I’m hopeful about getting there with his guidance. Still, it’s encouraging to have someone who really pays attention to your specific needs. If you’re into tennis and want a coach who’s thoughtful but not overly intense, trying Jose might be worth considering.
