Nicholas Gallagher

Introduction: I am a PTR certified tennis instructor who enjoys working with people of all skill levels. I have coached for numerous tennis clubs/academies, including Sunrise Tennis Academy, Delaware Valley Tennis Academy, Boca Pointe Country Club, Coral Ridge Country Club and Addison Reserve. I played college tennis for Kutztown University. I finished 2015 ranked #6 in the Middle States for men's Open Singles, and have won numerous Men's open tournaments. I also compete in mixed doubles USTA events, and just recently competed/qualified for mixed 8.0 and 9.0 Nationals in Tucson AZ. In 2011, I won a National Title as part of a USTA team. I was born in France and lived there for 14 years, and have dual citizenship. (France/US) My teaching style: I emphasize proper stroke technique, consistency and superior fitness. This translates to a lot of movement drills. I also emphasize mental strength/ability to focus as well as strategy. In a basic lesson with me, a player could expect to hit a lot of balls, both from the forehand and backhand side, some volleys/overheads and also spending some time on serves and return. I will focus on helping the student become consistent with these strokes before talking about adding power and being more aggressive. I take great pride in watching my students improve each and every lesson. I also really enjoy working with people who develop a passion for the game. I also know that tennis can be a great way to exercise and stay physically active. I have noticed the difference a few lessons can make in a person's fitness level. I have many more reviews available from past clients upon request! Please contact me with any questions, Nick
