Book Private Tennis Lessons with Coach Bjorn
I am a very patient teacher and adaptable to any fitness or skill level. My goal for each lesson is to fit and personalize one element of the game for each player I teach. I teach beginners - tournament players. I coach juniors (ages 5 - 18), men and women from 3.0 - 5.0, and tournament players.

About Me:
I have achieved a strong Tennis Europe and ITF ranking, performed well in Future tournaments, and competed in the first and second leagues in the Club Tennis League in Austria. I took a break due to an injury and focused on graduating from the University of Minnesota. However, I have recently returned to the game and won against Division II players.
How I can help you improve your game:
My players improve fast using simple techniques and a step-by-step methodology (Swing Path- Movement- Shot Spacing- Strike Zone- Varieties) that players can fully understand and apply. A combination of fundamentals and live ball drills improves players' ability to adapt accomplishments to their competition and play with friends.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My goal for each lesson is to fit and personalize one element of the game for each player I teach.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With 27 years of playing experience and fifteen years of coaching experience across Austria, Minnesota, Florida, and California, I have improved my coaching skills. I have successfully coached beginners and tournament players, juniors (ages 5 - 18), men and women from 3.0 - 5.0, and tournament players, and I'm passionate about helping them reach their full potential.
Best coach I ever had:
Gilbert Schaller. Unlike any other coach, he helped me identify the weaknesses and strengths in my game. He assisted me in overcoming those weaknesses and playing to my strengths. Not only did he help me correct my technique and eliminate bad habits I had developed earlier, but he also devised an exercise and training routine tailored to my specific body structure, mental capacities, and individual needs as a tennis player.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am known for my punctuality, professionalism, and effective communication with my players.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
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.
How do I book lessons?
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.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
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!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
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.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
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.
When is the coach available to train?
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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
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.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
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!
