Get to know Coach Mike
About Me:
Private Tennis Coach since 2013 in Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills. Currently growing with Athletes Untapped. Former state finalist. I have coached in the 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 levels of USTA. I have coached and hit with college level players, open players, and I have discussed the game and the mentality of competing with pro level tour players. I understand the levels, the mental game, and what it takes to jump to the next level. It's important to have fun and feel safe and free to enjoy yourself and your tennis and I know how to create that environment for everyone. Every lesson ends with a smile and a good feeling!
How I can help you improve your game:
I will improve your game by listening to you. Let's figure out how to take you to the next level. Let's discuss how you play, what it is like for you to play a match. Let's talk about what you feel like mentally when you compete. Or - if you just want to be a better hitter and not play events - let's work on getting your game structured and consistent. There's many ways to improve - so let's discuss and plan it together!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A training session with Mike is custom designed with the student. What are the goals? Are we here to hit and have relaxed fun, or are we here to make it on the college team? Whatever the goal is - it's a plan with both coach and student.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Professional Tennis Coach and Instructor, 2013 - current GPTCA certified tennis coach and hitting partner in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Palm Springs, California. 10+ years of private instruction, working closely and comprehensively with athletes between the ages of 5 and 80, coaching individuals at all ranges of athletic ability. Design and conduct private lessons, groups, and clinics. Specializing in creating an optimal, healthy, and happy learning environment.
Best coach I ever had:
Jim Leupold in Palm Desert, CA at the Marriott. He is simply amazing! And a fun, nice guy! He is a brilliant instructor.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
A student of the game should leave a court at the end of a lesson or play with some level of happiness and accomplishment. Just being able to step on a court and trying your best is a triumph in itself and that is to be celebrated! Setting goals is important too. Tennis is a wonderful sport to enjoy, as well as focusing to be the best one can be. I want every student to feel like the hour was fun and successful.

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!
