As a passionate tennis coach, I bring a lifetime of experience to the court, having picked up a racket at just four years old. My journey includes competing on my high school varsity team as a freshman, winning a state championship my sophomore year, and reaching the finals as a junior. I continue to play regularly, maintaining a deep connection to the sport. With coaching experience at Dominion Country Club and in Dallas, I’ve successfully guided players from complete beginners to confident competitors, teaching fundamentals like topspin, groundstrokes, rallies, and serving. Growing up, I trained rigorously with private and group lessons, honing my understanding of technique and strategy. This foundation allows me to share my knowledge with enthusiastic young players, helping them build skills and confidence on the court.

When I started with Coach Andrew, I had almost no tennis experience—my swings were all over the place, I didn’t know how to hold the racket properly, and hitting the ball consistently seemed like a pipe dream. In just 14 weeks, Coach Andrew transformed me into a player who can rally confidently from the baseline, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the progress!
Coach Andrew started with the basics, patiently teaching me the correct grip and swing mechanics. He broke everything down into simple, easy-to-follow steps, using clear demonstrations and fun drills to build my coordination. Early on, I struggled with timing and footwork, but his encouraging and positive approach kept me motivated. He introduced short-court rallies to boost my confidence, then gradually moved me to the baseline, always celebrating milestones like a solid forehand or a controlled backhand.
By the end, I was rallying 6–8 shots consistently, mixing forehands and backhands with a rhythm I never imagined I’d have. Coach Andrew’s ability to make lessons engaging, tailored to my needs, and genuinely enjoyable was incredible. He knew exactly when to push me and when to keep things light, making every session a highlight of my week.
Coach Andrew is a phenomenal coach, and I totally recommend him! Thanks to his guidance, I’m rallying from the baseline and loving every moment on the court!

Youth players
Working with kidsFor kids (ages 4-12), I use simplified instructions with basic terms like "hit" or "swing," employ smaller rackets and low-compression balls, and focus on short, fun games like "Hit the Cone" to teach skills while keeping engagement high.
Working with teenagersFor teenagers (ages 13-18), I introduce detailed mechanics such as topspin and grip changes, use standard equipment, and incorporate longer, structured drills like crosscourt rallies to build technical skills and competitive readiness.
