About Me
Coaching gives me a great sense of fulfillment. Helping others to improve their skills, both physical and mental, to increase their knowledge of the game and to see them walk away from one of my lessons, clinics or training sessions with a great sense of pride in their efforts and a new enthusiasm for the game of tennis and their next match is very rewarding..
I have truly dedicated myself to my vocation as a USPTA Certified Tennis Professional. I am constantly learning how to be a better coach. Much of that happens on court with my students year after year. I also attend both the Intermountain Region and Worldwide USPTA Conferences each year to keep myself apprised of new technologies, techniques and strategies in tennis and to raise my profile with other renowned coaches around the country and the world. These conferences never fail to give me new insights into the game, player assessment and mental toughness coaching.
I offer tennis instruction, athletic development and personal training in Durango for all skill levels and for every age of player from 4 years old to 90+… after all, tennis is the sport for a lifetime! Whether you are brand new to tennis or returning to tennis after many years away, or if you play tennis daily or weekly, I want to help you learn and improve. Please come out and try one of my group clinics or take a private lesson with me to see how much fun tennis can be.
