How I can help you improve your game:
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me as a coach includes a variety of focused activities designed to enhance your game. We start with rallying, where I help you improve shot placement, depth, and spin. We then move on to technical work, optimizing the biomechanics of all your strokes, including forehand, backhand, serve, volley, and returns.
Footwork drills and feeding exercises are also integral to our sessions, ensuring you develop agility and precision on the court. Additionally, I incorporate fitness drills using bands and medicine balls to enhance your footwork and improve the mechanics of your swings. This comprehensive approach ensures that you receive well-rounded training tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have a diverse coaching background that includes leading group sessions with a Montessori school, where I engaged with 6-8 students per session. I have also had a variety of private sessions with players ranging from beginner to intermediate level. I also have provided hitting lessons for players with a Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) of up to 11. Furthermore, I have served as a hitting partner for both WTA and ATP players.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I've ever had is undoubtedly Harold Solomon, a former world #4 and finalist at the French Open. Working with Harold during my teenage years was transformative for my game. He provided me with a strong technical foundation that became crucial as I progressed through the junior ranks.
His coaching style was intense and disciplined, reflecting his own experiences as a top player. While he was a tough character, this rigor instilled in me the discipline necessary to succeed in such a competitive sport. Harold's insights into what it truly takes to become a great tennis player—commitment, resilience, and a relentless work ethic—shaped not only my skills on the court but also my mindset. I’m incredibly grateful for the lessons I learned from him, which continue to influence my approach to the game today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a coach, I bring a deep passion for tennis and a genuine eagerness to share that enthusiasm with players of all ages and skill levels. I believe that every individual has unique potential, and I am committed to helping them unlock it through my coaching philosophy.
When selecting me as a coach, parents and players should know that my focus extends beyond just improving technical skills. I am dedicated to developing technical ability, addressing any mental challenges that may arise, and fostering a positive mindset toward the game. Understanding that mental resilience is just as important as physical prowess, I work closely with each player to build their confidence and problem-solving skills on the court.
Additionally, I assess each player’s fitness levels to create tailored fitness plans that enhance their overall performance. I believe that a well-rounded approach—combining technical training, mental coaching, and physical fitness—is essential for development at any stage.
I’m excited to guide players on their tennis journey, instilling a love for the game while helping them grow into well-rounded athletes. With my passion and dedication, I aim to create a supportive and motivating environment where players can thrive, no matter their age or skill level.

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!
