I will tailor my session to the ability of the athlete. Give my extensive experience, both in playing and coaching, I can pinpoint the areas of the athlete's game that needs to improve, and I can work with the athlete to go over specific drills, technique work, etc. that will help improve their tennis game. My strengths include using imagery to help players adopt the learning principles more quickly to improve their game and mental approach to playing the game within a game. When booking, please book for a single, (1) session only. I will be able to discuss and offer multiple sessions discount once we have met and completed the initial session based on multiple factors with options to do one on one, or where possible and desired , shared semi-private or very small group sessions.

Client Reviews

I live out-of-state, visiting family while on vacation. Trying to stay in tennis shape, I found Michael thru CoachUp. We worked on adjusting my grip, footwork, strike zone and court position, which made an immediate impact on my groundstrokes, serves, volleys, drop shots and lobs. After our sessions, I felt more confident about my game - even winning a singles event in a local tournament that Michael encouraged me to participate. He is a very responsive and effective communicator, extremely flexible, and all-around super nice guy. Highly recommend.

I really appreciated coach Michael's approach to the game in terms of tennis IQ and technique. He has a very in-depth knowledge of degrees, mathematics, probability, and body mechanics. Also he has a very good method to help his students retain the information through association with the court and body position. He was also willing to travel and meet me in my hometown which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend coach Michael.

Had an awesome first lesson with Coach Michael! I already see great improvement in my strokes, as I am trying to break some old habits. He is very knowledgable, patient, and understanding. Looking forward to another lesson!

My boyfriend and I had a great session with Michael. He catered to both of our abilities and provided very clear instructions for improving both of our games. We look forward to more sessions with Michael.

I never thought anyone would ever get me to change the mechanics of my serve and make me a better tennis player.Others had given up. Coach Michael took it as a challenge to prove something, not only to me, but the nay sayers who said it couldn't be done. It's not true that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I am proof that he can!
