About Me:
I played USTA Tournaments since I was 11 and began seriously training at 14. I was named player of the region two years in a row during high school, for my Junior and Senior year. I went on to play division 2 tennis for 2 years at Fairmont State University being named 2nd team all conference my sophomore year and helped my team win conference for the first time in years.
How I can help you improve your game:
By watching their footwork, grip and stroke motion. The first way to improve someones game to is find their starting point and work from there. Then I asses what is most crucial to the students success on the court and create or lead the student through a drill specifically designed to improve their deficiency.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Start with a 5 minute warm up of jog around the court and a few dynamic stretches. From there I go into a 10 minutes of hitting back and forth to warm up, only giving feedback where necessary. Then I go into drill work such as perfecting an angled cross court volley or fixing the footwork on a down the line forehand. I end with serves or 10-15 minutes of live ball play that allows student to put the drill we worked on into action.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I started coaching in 2017 during my summer break from college at a clubs around the Chicagoland area. This continued until 2020 when I moved to Tampa Florida and began coaching part time around the area. I then moved to St.Pete in 2022 and have continued coaching in the area since. I have ahd hundreds of clients of all different ages and look forward to teaching many more.
Best coach I ever had:
I have had 3 great coaches in my lifetime, Paul Macdonald, Keith Dunbar and Mike Byrd. All 3 had a different way of approaching the game that allowed me to build a complete tennis game. Without the balance of feedback I got from all 3 I wouldn't have the versatility I do now on the court. The common thread between all 3 was that they had a fine eye for detail and were invested in their students success.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Im a very positive person who aims to be the best at whatever I do.

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?
