"My son Ryan was taking group lessons when he met Derrick, 7 years ago. Ryan would watch Derrick coach other kids on the court next to where Ryan was playing. I remember Ryan coming to me and asking if he could take lessons from Derrick. Ryan is still a rather introverted person, but Derrick knew how to get Ryan motivated and be confident. As Derrick molded Ryan as a player, he would encourage Ryan to take that next step, entering into leagues, USTA tournaments, and the high school tennis team. He taught Ryan how to strategize and would constantly refine the strategy with him to improve his game. I think as a parent, I am most appreciative of Derrick being an important role model for Ryan. Even though my younger son had no intrinsic interest in tennis, he took lessons with Derrick just because Derrick had such a great way with Kyle as well."
