As a former playing professional and now a teaching professional for over 30 years, I continue to gain an understanding of what it takes to develop each individual to reach their greatest potential. Whether a player's goal is to attain a national ranking or make their high school team, my students learn that tennis is more than just skills, coordination, and winning. My commitment is to challenge each student to reach beyond being a great tennis player and become the best person they can be on and off the court.
