Get to know Coach Reya
About Me:
With over 15 years of experience competing at an elite level, I bring deep expertise and a love for the game to every lesson. As a varsity player in high school, my skills caught the attention of Division 2 college scouts, and I was on the path to going pro until a serious injury shifted my focus. That experience fueled my passion for coaching, allowing me to blend top-tier training with a personal understanding of resilience. Now, I’m dedicated to helping players of all ages and skill levels reach their full potential, both on and off the court.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help players improve by first honing their fundamental skills and then advancing to technical nuances that elevate their game. My approach emphasizes drilling, which means hitting more balls to build consistency and confidence. I particularly enjoy working on serves—a challenging yet crucial skill that requires patience and precision, as it takes time to truly master. Together, we’ll build a solid foundation and refine the key aspects that make you a stronger, more well-rounded player.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me starts with stretching to prevent injuries, followed by warm-ups and conditioning to get players physically and mentally ready. I then check in to discuss their goals for the day, week, and month, as well as any specific challenges they're facing. From there, each lesson is unique and fully tailored to the individual’s needs, focusing on targeted drills and skills to maximize progress and confidence on the court.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I began my coaching journey teaching kids’ summer camps at government facilities in Silicon Valley, where I was soon recognized for my tennis experience and invited to give private and semi-private lessons while managing the tennis shop. My passion for personalized instruction grew, and in 2019, I transitioned to exclusively private coaching, dedicating my focus to developing players one-on-one and helping them reach their highest potential.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Rocky, who began coaching me with a test to gauge my athleticism when I was just 8 years old. After that first session, he told me he thought I’d already been playing for years. Recognizing my natural talent, he handed me his own personal racquet, a gesture that marked the start of a transformative journey. For seven unforgettable years, he trained me with a vision as if he was preparing me to be the next Serena Williams, and that belief made all the difference.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m a compassionate yet tough coach dedicated to helping you reach your full potential. You share your goals, and together, we’ll create a plan to make them happen. I’m realistic and vocal about what it takes to succeed, setting clear expectations while giving you the freedom to make choices. Beyond coaching, I also run a nonprofit farm, bringing a unique commitment to community and growth that I carry into everything 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?
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!
