Introduction: Every tennis pro has his or her own style of teaching which is good for the sport. Over the years I have been known to be more of a technician and very patient with others. Some of my students were actually tennis coaches themselves and they enjoyed my class as well. I love the outdoors and meeting people and making new friends. Tennis is as much social as it is recreational.

Finished 2 classes with Chris so far and very happy with the coach. He's patient and explains the logic and technique very well. Price is great too. Really happy I found Chris as my tennis coach.

I took lessons with Chris while back in Florida for a few months, and he was excellent. He taught me a new way of playing and looking at the game, while working on every aspect of my forehand and backhand, and footwork. Highly recommended and I will take lessons with him whenever I am in town.

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The best way to improve your game fast is to hire a private coach, one on one. Group lessons are great for social contact but your game can and usually does get lost in the shuffle. League play is great for intermediate and advance level players but not so much for the beginner who needs more individuallzed instruction.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Tennis has been great to me over the years. I admit that I still do enjoy hitting the ball on court as much as I did and probably even more than over 30 years ago. You just never get too old for this sport and if you do you can spend hours watching it on tv, at parks and at stadium events!
