Introduction
I updated my coaching skills in 2023 at the Rafa Nadal Academy training and learning from the best tennis coaches in the world. I first learn the goals of the student. Then determine the best path to reach those goals. I believe building a love for the game is key to reaching your potential in ANY sport. Every student is unique and the way they learn and get motivated is unique as well. I pay very close attention to the personalities and tendencies of each student so a can adjust my coaching style to be the most effective coach in reaching the goals of my students. Whether you are a beginner child or an adult wanting to learn the game, a junior wanting to become an elite high school, college, pro, or an elite club player I can help you become your best. Below are my certificates and some photos of my son and I at the USC tennis camp this summer as well as a photo of him with Brett Masi, the head coach of men’s tennis at USC. I spent the entire week with him at the courts studying all of the latest training techniques, drills, and competitive games they play to make the training sessions most effective and fun for the students. For the serious students I also offer some unique and innovative post training tools that are extremely effective. I capture the student on video and send them a link after practice with notes on the practice day to review what they did or did not do properly. Seeing is believing!!

I took lessons for three days, and it was very efficient and enjoyable. We used time efficiently, learning new techniques and ways to learn. I also enjoyed how much improvement I received while learning. Overall, Robert is a very good tennis coach, and I would highly recommend him.

In one lesson, Robert’s positive energy and encouragement helped transform a nervous 14-year-old trying tennis for first time into a thoroughly engaged student, asking if she could stay a few minutes longer to keep serving balls at the ‘target.’ Incredibly grateful that we found someone who could light such a spark.

What a great experience! You know how you get that tennis pro that tells you there’s only one way to do something, and that’s how it’s going to be? Not so in this situation! He took the time to listen to what I feel my limitations are physically and we came up with something that incorporates a new grip/starting position with an swing pattern I’m already a bit comfortable with. After not playing for an extended period of time I was expecting it to be a total failure, but, while it was challenging, I felt positive guidance and that made a difference! Will be requesting another lesson asap.
