About Steve
Tennis is a joy to play! I began in grade school. After playing tennis for 15 years after graduate school discovered I really like helping people learn tennis and becoming good at it. So I became a certified tennis pro and for the next 15 years worked hard to be best coach possible. Toward this end I regularly attend conventions at the U.S. Open where world’s best coaches show their methods. After 10 plus years, this has become a huge reservoir of knowledge that I can draw upon at the appropriate time to help you play better. It helps me maintain and develop innovative state-of-the art tennis training methods, which means your learning will be easier, faster and more fun.
Teaching Experience: 15 years
Teaching Style
I emphasize focusing on the ball, natural movement and on building strong fundamentals similar to the strokes you see on TV by the touring pros. I distill these into easy-to-absorb lessons.
Lessons often employ cooperative rallying in which you hit lots of balls inside your comfort zone. There you can learn by doing, getting comfortable with it and owning it. Research shows patient hitting is the fastest and best way to learn. As you absorb an idea, I will introduce the next most important element. Progressively, perhaps without really being aware of it, you will absorb a solid foundation similar to the strokes of top players. Onto this base we will add serve, volley, overheads and drop shots as we expand into point play and game awareness. The key benefit of this approach is that you very quickly learn how to get virtually any ball back and keep it in play. That’s how you win games!
Over my 15 years teaching tennis I have developed innovative powerful methods that will quickly raise your level of play.
I am super with kids ages 4 and up and am a QuickStart and 10 & Under early adapter and innovator.
Hobbies
My tennis instruction is strongly colored by decades enjoyment of Tai Chi. This significantly distinguishes my approach to tennis form other instructors. Top touring pros and their coaches are slowly discovering the ages old wisdom embedded in “the form.”
