Scott S.

I am a twenty-year member of the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR). A very experienced coach and tennis teacher, I've traveled throughout the eastern US giving workshops and lessons on doubles strategy,skills and tactics. I've presented at the PTR International Symposium and at the Montana coaches Association Summer Conference.

I try to make tennis reachable for my students, simplifying the techniques, strategies and ideas into thoughts easier to comprehend.

Specialties: Doubles movement and patterns, doubles strategies, technique improvement.

Key thoughts I use:
- It never matters how hard you hit, only how well you hit.
- Be smarter than the net. It has no IQ.
- Follow the ball. You'll be glad you did when it comes to you.

- Perennial ECAC Baseball All-League selection while at Clarkson University.
- International level field hockey player.
- PTR Eastern Section President's Award recipient.
- PTR Eastern Section Coach of the Year Award recipient.
- Selected by Pete Collins (Successful Doubles) as an assistant, traveling around the eastern US presenting doubles clinics and workshops.

- Brief short court warm up.
- Lengthen the court as strokes warm up and get loose.
- Break for water and questions.
- The heart of the lesson, instruction, stroke modifications.
- Break for water and questions.
- Cool down, games, stretch/extend strokes.
- Questions, homework, things to work on between lessons.
