About your tennis coach
I was a four-year varsity player at Oberlin College and currently work in economic consulting. I am also currently building a post-match feedback platform for competitive players (we are currently demoing the product for a select group of players). Outside of tennis, I completed a 2,800 mile walk across America a few years ago and recently completed an Ironman. I value discipline, consistency, and long-term development, and I enjoy working with players who want to improve and are willing to put in the work.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIntroduce basic grips, contact point awareness, and simple rallying patterns as quickly as possible. Focus on clean contact and controlled swings.
Lesson 2-3Begin building consistency. Reinforce fundamentals while introducing basic footwork patterns and directional control. Give one or two clear adjustments at a time so improvement feels manageable and visible.
Lesson 4-10Connect technique to real points. Learn serve and return fundamentals and basic point construction patterns. Transition from rallying to point play in a structured manner.
Lesson 11+Refine technique and work on improving court positioning and situational awareness. Lessons include more live points with competitive drills, with a focus on problem-solving and building habits that hold up under pressure.
