On court

A coach who plays, and trains you.

Private and small-group lessons for kids and adults, built on real biomechanics and footwork.

01 / Philosophy

Performance comes from mastering movement and the mind.

Most coaching starts with strokes. I start with how you move. Get the footwork and balance right and power comes without forcing it, so your body lasts instead of breaking down.

The same goes for your attention. When your movement is sound, your mind stops racing and drops into the point in front of you. That presence, where you read and adjust instead of forcing, is the flow the game is named for. It's also when it's the most fun.

Learn how the body actually works. Start correcting the way you move. Learn how to put force through your body the right way so your body's missing links don't get the better of you.

02 / Programs

Coaching shaped to who you want to be.

Track One

Kids coaching

For young players just starting out, or competitive juniors looking to sharpen footwork, technique, and match IQ.

  • Private one-on-one lessons
  • Small-group sessions (2 to 4 kids)
  • Stroke biomechanics through full match strategy
  • Patterns adapted by age and skill
Track Two

Adult coaching

From total beginner to competitor at any level. Some players come to rally with friends, others to sharpen a tournament game.

  • Private lessons or partner pairs
  • Stroke rebuilds with biomechanics focus
  • Match strategy and shot selection
  • Yoga-informed mobility work
Track Three

Competitive pathway

Coaching becomes denser. More information, more detailed biomechanical work, the kind of detail that separates you from the competition.

  • Detailed biomechanical breakdowns
  • Every detail gets coached, not just the big strokes
  • Built for evolving players, not plateaus
  • You leave each session with one thing to drill

Ready when you are

03 / Meet the coach

Tennis since age four. Engineering brain, athlete body.

I started playing tennis at four years old, and the sport has shaped how I understand movement, competition, and personal growth.

My path through sports wasn't conventional. I first earned a degree in engineering, which gave me an analytical foundation for problem-solving. Tennis stayed at the center of my life, so I went on to pursue my Master's in Sport Management to combine that passion with a deeper understanding of athlete development.

I've also competed in basketball, football, table tennis, and badminton. Through biomechanics and the teachings of yoga, I focus on helping athletes move efficiently, generate power naturally, and build patterns that support long-term health.

My philosophy is the balance between competition and the joy of being in flow.

06 / FAQ

Common questions.

Where do lessons happen?

Public courts across Northern Virginia, your home club if you have one, or a court I can recommend close to you. I travel to where you play.

Group or private?

Both. Most students start with one or two private sessions to build a foundation, then move into private weekly, partner pairs, or small groups depending on goals.

What ages do you coach?

From early juniors through adults at any level. I tailor every session to the player in front of me, not a templated program.

What about indoor or winter coaching?

Northern Virginia has indoor options at several local clubs. We coordinate court time based on your preferred location and schedule.

How do I get started?

Send a message with the player's name, age, current level, and what you're hoping to work on. I usually reply within the same day during the week.
