Get to know Coach Brad

About Me:

Olympic Trials finalist in the 1988 Los Angeles Olympics. Traveling member of the singles and doubles Arizona Wildcats Tennis Team from 1984-1988. Ranked #16 in California as a junior and set a record of 21 continuous wins over 3 tournaments in the region. Successfully taught 5 teens higher technique in tennis such that all 5 made their high school tennis team.

How I can help you improve your game:

I have insight into various techniques, spin and strategy which many players do not. How? I spent over 20 years daily working on fitness, mental aspects of the game and finding a way to win, even when outmatched in ability.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

I first start with fundamentals making sure that each stroke, serve and volley technique is correct and efficient. I then move on to Mario, fitness and making sure each player is in good enough shape that they can compete and win in a long 3 set match. I lastly move onto strategy in various points in a match and how to approach the serve and each point to maximize the effort.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I coached 5 teens who ended up making their high school tennis team. I also coached wealthy adults in Switzerland back in 1994, successfully getting them to "serve & volley" in doubles, which I feel is a needed element in doubles and they all improved greatly over that summer.

Best coach I ever had:

Tommy Tucker. He has worked with the best in tennis: Roscoe Tanner, Jose Higueras, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Borris Becker and many others. He taught me how to be a winner and be fearless in the quest to win matches. He said you "have to want to win, even if you are playing your best friend in the quarter finals. Beat him and then buy him a Coke after."

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I am a people person, love helping people become successful players and easy to work with. I am easy going, flexible and yet confident in my tennis and life skills. I don't talk a lot, just say what needs to be said at any given time.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.

Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.

Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!

We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.

Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.

Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.

The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.

Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.

AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.

At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
