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. For tennis, I have been providing private lessons for 5 years now. I am great with beginners and intermediate level players.

We’ve worked with this coach for a long time, and the experience has been excellent. He is patient, positive, and truly focused on improving technique and fundamentals. He pays close attention to details and always makes sure each session is productive and encouraging. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping students improve and build confidence. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional and dedicated coach for basketball or tennis.

Greg is a great tennis coach! I had never played tennis before, but he has been very patient and teaches in a clear, step-by-step way, which makes it easy for me to understand and improve. He explains the key points of each movement very well and pays close attention to the details. He is quick to notice what I need to work on and gives me specific drills to help correct my technique effectively. I can feel myself making progress in every lesson, and I really enjoy learning from him. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn or improve their tennis skills.

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!

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!
