Kevin rocks! He is a true pro and it’s clear he can easily work with you at any level. I am a total beginner and already feel like I’ve made a lot of improvements from one session. Look forward to working with him and would recommend to anyone who needs to train!

Kevin has been my coach for a while. He taught my brother and he was able to play varsity tennis. Now we are working on trying to accomplish the same goal. He knows exactly what to work on and what to pinpoint to make me better.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonA lot of live ball. I need to see what you can do. So I'm going to hit with you and see how you play the point. Then I will figure out the most important things to work on. I need to figure out what style of player you are what your strengths are and how you can deliver your strengths to My weaknesses so you can win matches.
Lesson 11+Tactical application of your strengths and weaknesses, figure out the other player, refuse to miss, strategic setup for matches, preparation before the match and mental toughness.
Lesson 4-10Continuation of good technical execution of the shot. Basic things like hitting the ball deep with topspin, cross court most of the time and attacking short ball.
Lesson 2-3Since I have figured out what to work on it will now be a mix between polishing your technique and your footwork.
