COACHING BOTH TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL:
I'm a former USPTA certified tennis professional who has been playing and competing since the age of 10. I have been coaching for over 25 years and hold an advanced degree and formal training in Psychology, with emphasis in Sports Competition. Furthermore, I have spent over ten years in secondary and post-secondary (academic) education. This unique combination of training and experience has allowed me great insight into how humans learn and develop new skills at varying stages in life.
Moreover, my scientific methodology prevents the development of "bad habits" and is individualized for each student's learning style and unique biomechanics.
For microanalysis, I use "OnForm," a highly-advanced video coaching app that has the ability to analyze, and manually repeat every movement of a tennis stroke, in addition to being able to create side-by-side comparative analysis. It's simply an amazing tool both for me as a coach, and for the student.
ABOUT PICKLEBALL: I discovered it in 2016, quickly mastered it and began coaching it in 2017. My pickleball instruction is based in tennis fundamentals because as most players know, the top pickleball players are all former tennis pros.
I pride myself on my level of service, so please see my link that is listed in my profile:
I'm new to Thumbtack
Hope to see you on the court soon!
