More About Coach Mark

Hi! My name is Mark and I graduated from USC a few years ago. While at USC, I was hitting partner and manager to the Division I Mens Tennis Team (we won the NCAA National Championship in 2014). After graduating, I helped manage and coach a professional player (who hit a career-high of #119 in the world), even going to the U.S. Open with him in 2017, when he made it into the main draw (and won a round). I am now a lead coach for Stanford Nike Tennis Camp and Cardinal Clinic under Stanford Mens Tennis Coaches, Paul Goldstein and Brandon Coupe. Aside from that, I coach private lessons around the area.

Fun fact- I have a win (years ago in the juniors) over a current top 50 player in the world.

Fun fact- I am coach to TV Talk Show Host, Dr. Phil, and also coach to President of the Tennis Channel, Ken Solomon.

"I've been playing competitive tennis for over 40 years and Mark has truly been a game changer!" -Dr. Phil, Talk Show Host

"If I didn't have to actually run Tennis Channel, I would be on the court with Mark all the time! He is a terrific teacher and great fun to be around" -Kenneth Solomon, President: Tennis Channel

I will analyze all of your strokes and identify which areas of your game need improvement. Then I will fix said strokes/areas of your game that need improvement.

For more info on specifics of my session plans, contact me. I won't go into detail on here.

Ken Solomon, President of the Tennis Channel (Testimonial)

If I didn't have to actually run Tennis Channel, I would be on the court with Mark all the time! He is a terrific teacher and great fun to be around

Dr. Phil (Testimonial)

I’ve been playing competitive tennis for over 40 years and Mark has truly been a “game changer!” He works within your natural tendencies to maximize your game in the shortest time possible, whether you are a beginner or an “old dog” like me. Most importantly we fun every minute of every lesson. He is great with couples and groups as well! I recommend him without reservation. He was on a NCAA Division I championship team for a reason!
