Tennis instructor/ coach and tennis director
Methodology
I am rated one of the premier pros in the Bay Area, I am USPTR, TRX, rocktape and high performance coach for some 20+ years.
I conduct an initial open ended assessment/evaluation with recommendations including other instructors and tennis programs. As a tennis director I conduct tournaments, clinics and tennis related activities.
My approach is open ended by asking questions and then offer possible solutions from instructions, drills and games, tennis partners and playing opportunities in the Bay Area
Background
I am currently a high school tennis coach, high performance coach for USTA and personal clients ranging from introduction to mental and fitness training. I have conducted tennis workshops in the US, Norway, Sweden and Caribbean for tennis associations.
I have been on the board of the largest provider of tennis and education in my area and currently on the board to redo San Francisco public tennis complex in Golden Gate Park.
My volunteering is targeted around women, children and family issues ranging from transitional housing for families to mentoring many non-profit start ups.
Rates
