BIO
I am a personable and knowledgeable senior who is patient with adults and children. I know what it takes to become an accomplished player, junior or adult, and will help you (or your child) achieve your goals. I have three sons who played high school tennis, two college tennis, one achieved an ATP (pro) doubles ranking, and now a grandaughter playing scholarship college tennis. It's in our genes! As in learning anything, having quality instruction that teaches you the correct fundamentals is very important. I want to emphasize that learning the basic fundamentals is critical to becoming an accomplished player. Like having a solid foundation for a house you are building. Otherwise, you spend time and money trying to reprogram your muscle memories at a later date. We'll use my phone, and yours if you wish, to video and help you visualize and understand the fundamentals. I will be pleased to work with you.

"I have worked with John over many years and have found him to be passionate and knowledgeable. John lives and breathes tennis and has so very much to offer from sound technical advice to advanced strategies and is equally competent in singles and doubles. John has decades of top level experience to draw from and uses many varied approaches to inspire and teach his students. John believes in sound and deep relationships with students and they respond in turn. John is an outstanding communicator and couples this with a fervent drive to have students succeed. I highly recommend John and if you can spend some time on the court with him, you will just be better for it. He is simply great!"
