I have been coaching tennis since I was 15 years old. I was a two time all state tennis player in high school and played many high level tournaments. Instead of playing collegiate tennis I went to the University of Georgia. There I coached 8 tennis classes with 36 students each.

I grew up in northwest Georgia playing every sport imaginable. I have a love for competition and working to be the best at whatever you do. I became a high level tennis player in high school and the game has had a huge impact on my life. Along with my playing and coaching experience I majored in sport management in college for my undergraduate degree, and masters degree, at the University of Georgia. Sports and the impact it can have one a persons life has been a driving force in my life for a long time.
I have coaching experience for all ages and skill levels. I do not believe there is one way to coach but rather each player has their own specific needs and wants. One players goal may be to play in college while another's may be to make a singles spot for their high school tennis team. My style is to help each player reach their goals whatever that may be. I also believe it is necessary to adapt my coaching based on the players style, strengths, and weaknesses. What I will bring to every coaching lesson is a fun and energetic style that will improve each persons game.
Once again this depends on the player and their needs. Some sessions may be high intensity focused on baseline play and improving groundstrokes. Another session may be tailored to improving the accuracy on the players serve or a specific weakness on a shot. There will always be a warm up and a focus on the mental aspect of the game. Tennis is all about the mind and control over this part of ones game.
* Two time all state tennis player
* 4 time high school team captain
* Multiple collegiate offers
* Learned from high level coaches such as the once #1 player in Mexico and Chile
*Coached since the age of 15 (all ages and skill levels)
* Coached hundreds of students at the University of Georgia ranging from beginners to ex collegiate players
The best coach I ever had was once the number 1 player in Mexico and played on their Davis cup team. He pushed me because this was my want. Other players he coached in a more relaxed way. He tailored to the needs of the player. He was friendly and helped me learn how to approach the game mentally. He would break my game down as well and help me tweak shots to continue to improve my game overtime. I never got stagnant and continued to learn.
I care about every player I coach and that I can help them reach their goals whatever that may be. I have immense love for the game of tennis and want to help other people have the same love I also have for the game

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.
