Rachid T.

I have been playing tennis intensely in the last 8 years, studying it extensively for the last 6 years and teaching it for the last 3/4 years. So far, I have been coaching private lessons in Montreal's public parcs.

I am also writing a book in Tennis technicalities.

I started playing tennis as a kid, but although I made it to the final at the age of 13 at a local city tournament. I stopped playing when i went to college, before I resumed playing tennis about 8 years ago. Until recently, my technique was far from ideal. About 3 years ago, I played regional tournaments in Quebec, my level then was about 3.5. Currently, I play at the 5.0+ level. My focus is more on good technique and proper tennis rather than merely wining matches. Within the last 4 or 5 years, I personnaly progressed from playing at the 3.5 level to 5.0+ level. My serve went from 3.5 level to about 6.0 level currently. My goal is to play at the 6.0+ level (ITF tournaments) within the end of 2015.

As a biomechanics researcher, passionate and dedicated coach, my sessions are different from many other coaches. I explain things in a scientific way, however, as a student you don t have to be a scientist yourself.

In each stroke step/phase recommandation, I explain the reason behind the suggestion, how you can achieve it. I will also make you understand how executing that specific step will contribute to the success and good execution of the whole stroke.

During one or few sessions, I may provide video filming and video analysis and comparison using specific software.

I may also give some drills/homework you may want to do in the comfort of your home and that will get you ready for the next session.
