What energized me was focusing on keeping elbows high and improving wrist snap and toss technique. James’s clear guidance made these tricky details much easier to grasp. If you want to sharpen your skills with practical tips, his lessons are definitely worth trying out. This session gave me solid pointers to build on. 👌

My first coach! Coach James works with me closely on both the technical side but also the mental side of my tennis game. He helps me set realistic goals and guides me through my high school tennis season and the summer tournament season too. I’ve gone from being a beginner three years ago to the #2 spot on my high school team!

Youth players
Working with kidsAppropriate gear size, balls and equipment. I like to keep energy levels up and approach teaching with excitement. Fun is paramount.
Working with teenagersGoal setting and alignment of expectations and outcomes are important for more developed students and players. Stroke evaluation and technical work is a priority as well at this age range in order to develop good long term tennis habits.
