About
First, for basketball, I have four years of basketball coaching experience with Frosh and JV girls high school teams. I also have 3 years of tennis coaching experience at the high school level, where I worked with beginners and intermediate players. For basketball, I learned how to teach girls who have never played basketball or a sport in their life and advance girls to a more demanding level on the JV team. I personally have been playing the sport for 30 years now. I play all positions and can teach all positions and moves. I love coaching, the sport, the analysis of a players body mechanics, and the sense of accomplishment players feel when they master something like shooting or dribbling. My pricing and quality can not be beat by any coach. The tennis lesson price is $50/hr. The basketball lesson price is $45/hr.

I would totally recommend Greg for anyone that is interested in honing basketball/tennis skills. Greg is one of the rare gems in the Orange County area who is affable and always willing to groom the Steph curry in you. As the great coach K once said- “When you attain excellence, success just naturally follows”. Coach Greg who I met on this app last year fall to get better at basketball has been nothing short of a miracle in tuning my shooting skills and handles. The feeling of being successful at basketball has been a result of excellence achieved through Greg’s dedicated coaching. Look no further, if you are looking to turnaround your game in this life for the price of two coffees at seven seas!

Greg is hands down the best coach I’ve worked with. Most coaches I’ve trained with in the past would just tell me to keep practicing if my shots weren’t great. But Greg is completely different. From the start, he’s been super focused on every single shot I make, figuring out exactly what I’m doing wrong and how to fix it. Every tip he’s given me has made an immediate difference—I can actually see myself improving little by little after every session! Of course, practice is important, but practicing with incorrect form or technique won’t get you anywhere. Greg really gets that. He doesn’t just toss balls to fill up the time; he creates drills specifically for your weaknesses and what you need to work on. When it comes to choosing a coach, it’s not enough for them to just be good at tennis—they need to know how to teach, and that’s exactly what Greg does. If you’re looking for a coach who actually helps you get better, Greg’s your guy!

I've been taking tennis lessons with Coach Greg and he is not only a great coach but he is a lot of fun! He is the 3rd coach I've tried and I guess the 3rd time really is a charm! I really just wanted to take lessons to improve my fitness but after training with him I have been able to play with people looking for tennis partners and not embarrass myself. But seriously he gives great tips on form and has really improved my tennis. We usually spend the first part of the lesson learning something new and then he lets me practice at the end so I never get bored. I have a pretty short attention span but that's why I like his style of coaching. The time goes by so fast I'm always surprised when the time is up. But like they say - time flies when you're having fun. I highly recommend him!
