As an accomplished, lifelong tennis player and competitor, I have coached the game since 1988. I am a former USPTA professional with an advanced degree in Psychology, focusing on sports competition. Additionally, I have spent over ten years in secondary and post-secondary academic education. This unique combination of training and experience has given me great insight into how humans learn and develop new skills at various stages of life. My innovative training methodology is designed to prevent the formation of bad habits and improper muscle memory during the crucial stroke acquisition phase. Recovering from a life-altering car crash and a host of sports injuries has given me a new perspective on life and coaching. Every day is an opportunity to introduce the wonder of this game to everyone I meet and help those already engaged to be the best they can be. I look forward to seeing you on the court soon!

Michael has a mastery of both the physical and mental aspects of the sport, and offered a great mix of constructive criticism and encouragement to both effectively get the teaching points across and keep me motivated. After taking the time to understand my specific goals, he worked with me to develop personalized instructions that were tremendously helpful. He offered practical advice on how I could improve each specific shot – the serve, the groundstrokes, the volley, etc. and gave me clear directions on how I can practice on my own time beyond the lessons to incorporate those improvements. Michael’s technical skills and work ethic make him a great tennis instructor, and his ability to inspire the same passion he has for tennis in others makes him a great ambassador for the sport.

Coach Michael is a wonderful tennis coach. I’m a beginner and have been taking lessons with him for more than three months (2 times per week). He’s taught me a lot over a relatively short period of time and my strokes have really improved under his tutelage. I love that he explains the reasoning behind each action in the stroke and doesn’t just tell you to do it. He’s very thorough in his explanations and he even uses videos to analyze your technique, which allows for him to correct mistakes. In short, he’s very knowledgeable about tennis and I would definitely recommend him as a coach for anyone who wants to learn tennis/step up their game!

“Michael has the uncanny ability to tailor his communication style to each individual's needs. Further, he tailors his instruction to challenge you to perform to your personal best, while making it fun, and a great workout at the same time! He gives feedback in a positive way that encourages me to push harder to become better. I’d recommend Michael for any level of player, beginner to advanced. Whether you’re looking for social or recreational fun, or a coach that will develop your skills and make you a competitive player, Michael is the one. I have had many instructors, but Michael truly stands out as my favorite.”

"DO NOT seek an instructor based on price! You’ll regret it. Originally from Miami, I have taken lessons from many teaching pros all across the country. What's most important is the experience, dedication, and patience your teacher has to motivate you to become a better tennis player. Do you remember the teachers you had back in school? There were those who really motivated and pushed you to learn and become better at what you were doing and those who simply did it to make a living. Tennis teachers are no different. Michael is one of these “natural-born” teachers with the God-given talents to help you succeed.

Michael is simply an amazing and passionate coach who communicates well. He also has a good sense of humor. He explains things in an easy to understand way and praises you for your performance. He often uses video and he was able to point out bad habits I didn’t even know I had. He also showed me my strokes in comparison videos with my idol, Venus Williams. One thing I have to say, unlike prior coaches I had, Michael didn’t keep feeding me balls to further deepen my bad habits. He addressed the problems right way and finally got me on the path to progress. I’m planning to make the Varsity team next season!
