Summary

Teaching Tennis has become a personal passion of mine as well as a business venture. Helping to bring basic fundamentals to a variety of players has taught me more about tennis than my 15 years of being coached. I've learned when to push my students and when to make sure they feel accomplished. I proceed with my lessons, preaching confidence and calmness. However, the most important gift that teaching tennis has provided me with is amazing social skills. I am able to connect with my clients on a much deeper level. No matter their age or gender, I am able to form a strong relationship as both their teacher and peer. I have learned how to design individualized lesson plans through years of coaching, which yields true improvement from my students and is the best possible reward for me as a teacher.
