Get to know Coach Kenny

About Me:

I was an 8th grade Varsity walk on for my high school tennis team in South Carolina, transferred to NC & made the team for my new school before graduating. I'm currently a college club tennis player for NC State. I've worked alongside the men's coaching team at State & I just recently signed on as a Sponsored Tennis Athlete/Hit Squad team member with Babolat.

How I can help you improve your game:

I'm a big believer in progress first and foremost. I'm going to teach everything at a pace that the student will understand. I don't rush anything, as I always say, Rome wasn't built in a day, have to trust the process.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

I may start with a light fundamental warmup. If the student has tennis experience, I may do a little short court across the net from the service line, then move to the base before getting started in drills/serving or point play. If the student is a beginner, I'll do a light fundamental warmup & focus on the forehand & backhand motions before hitting, then transition to hand-toss feeding and maybe racquet feed towards the end. Always making sure to finish each session with a little competition for fun!

Career summary and accomplishments:

I've coached for many different organizations. Had the opportunity to work for my school's middle school middle school guys and girls teams for a few years, K-12 School. I've been the lead rep for a few organizations and have worked many, many camps. Some beginner type, others advanced. I've done it all!

Best coach I ever had:

I had the chance to work with NC State's Assistant Women's Coach. He's from Australia & taught me so much, after already having years of experience. He's one of the coaches who has taught now professional tennis players. I try to mix his teachings into my lessons.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I'm a very patient coach. I love going over specifics and making sure the student knows exactly how to hit the ball. I'm not going to overrun or yell, but simply offer words of encouragement and fix little things here and there. I'm also a very fun coach, as I like to be serious at times, but I also have a little bit of a goofball side to me, as I really love this sport and know how to have fun in my training sessions. I'm also a media sponsor/tennis athlete for Babolat!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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!
