I am not a hitting partner, or just someone who loves the game and got certified, or a former college / pro player. I'm the guy that coached them.

I'm a professional coach - I coach players of all ages and playing levels to perform their best on big points in competition.

My experience includes working with players who compete on the pro tour and 5 year old kids that giggle constantly.
I make them both listen and follow directions, and that helps them laugh and win! It will help you too. I guarantee it.
Extensive background and experience coaching football, baseball, basketball and track.

Photojournalism experience has allowed me years of access and insight to teach what the pros do and includes being on-court during practice sessions with top ranked players and their coaches at tournaments around the U.S. including the U.S. Open Tournament at Flushing Meadow N.Y.

Recognized as a coaching, youth sports, and sports psychology expert. My concepts and methods have been published in multiple languages and are advocated globally by several national organizations and international federations.

Don't book me if you want someone to aimlessly feed balls and/or serve merely as a hitting partner.
Book me if you are serious about the FUN of improving and you are wiling to work at it!

My approach to coaching starts and ends with the mental game. I help players develop a mindset that playing and competing is FUN!

You will engage in 90 minutes of rigorous training activities that combine focus on skill development, with fitness and mental toughness. Every player will instantly learn to improve shot making, tactics and strategy in an all inclusive training session. I have helped develop ranked players as young as 10 years old, trained top high school players and assisted in securing college scholarships. I also work with competitive (team &/or tournament play) adult players, as well as beginners and intermediate level players who are looking to become competitive players.

Sorry - I don't work with players who are looking "just to have fun," but not work at getting better. My sessions are fun for those looking to be challenged and extract the best of their potential while learning peak performance methods that win on and off the tennis court. Who thinks that would be FUN - tennis anyone?!

Very patient. Makes his assessment and gets to work.

My girlfriend said coach Tony provided the drills and skills needed to help prepare her for her overseas expo games. Keeping him for ongoing training!

Tony provided great coaching and extended the session considerably longer than the official time. He was genuinely interested in my son's and my progress, showed patience, and good insight into our problems. My game is improved after our short time with Tony.

Coach Tony has a very unique style of teaching. There was an improvement in my game in first 15 minutes. I definitely recommend Coach Tony.

Great coach who not only teaches basketball but explains the mental part of the game. Loved my session

Tony's training approach is something different from what I have experienced throughout my life. There is a lot of emphasis placed on the mental aspects of playing and what you need to do, to let your body and mind do the work for you. I would highly recommend Tony to any athlete looking to take their game to the next level. His knowledge and teaching ability is exceptional.

Explained everything. Patient. One lesson and I have noticed the difference. I have signed up for more.

Excellent! From start to finish you will get better in just one day!

My son had a great time at your training session the other night. He felt you really motivated him to try hard and liked your feedback and attention. Watching the session, my husband also liked the positivity and intensity of the training. Both said they noticed positive results after the first session. Will definitely book again.

Really knows what's he doing, really worth booking! Thank you Coach Tony!

We have only had one session but my son enjoyed working with Coach Tony. He has already learned some new techniques and skills and is excited for the next session.

One word. FANTASTIC
I highly recommend him as coach and mentor. I'm looking forward to many more sessions with him.

My 14 year old son loved his first session with Coach Tony. The session was scheduled for 90 minutes and lasted over 2 hours. Coach Tony's training is unique, intense, and well balanced. He is a very good motivational trainer. Although, Coach Tony is hard to book with his busy travel achedule, it's worth scheduling only one session, because it's like a personal clinic that will produce positive results. I have already booked four additional sessions, and my son and I are looking forward to the next one.

My son has been playing basketball and needed to work on better ball handling skills. Tony not only helped with his ball handling, he showed him some foot work and wrist movements. He is awesome! So happy to have had a session with him while he was in town. His confidence has soared!

Love working with him! As a person who has never been able to run or enjoy it, i feel like a runner after two sessions! Highly reccommended!

Tony is great for getting you into the zone using
His strong psychology background. He is not going
To be a hitting partner or work on details of stroke
Mechanics but he will make you focus and get you in a
Top performance mode frame of mind.

Tony is a great Coach and Communicator. We were doing various drills and he TEACHES you so you can improve. My shot has improved exponentially since meeting Tony. Definitely recommend him as a coach.

Coach Tony is a wonderful coach. He has worked with my two sons. They say they have learned a lot from him In just a couple of sessions. Not only is he a great coach, he is a good guy. They are looking forward to more lessons.

Coach Tony was great. He pointed out that I was over-thinking my serve instead of just relaxing and letting the racquet fly. Doing just a couple of things Tony asked me to do made a huge difference. Now it's my turn to drill on my own and try and break my bad habits.
