Transform your young player’s game with a stronger mental approach.

I get it. Junior tennis can be frustrating and stressful, for players and parents alike.

As a parent, it can be a helpless feeling, watching your kid play, knowing they could be playing so much better. What are the steps to get them there?

Twenty years ago, I started looking for answers for how to perform more consistently in my own matches, and how to help my students do the same. I started by training with tour veteran coaches, then got a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology. Looking for the most direct way to apply what I learned, I began coaching college teams, which allowed me to work with national and world-class players at the Division I (Harvard University) and Division III (MIT) level.

Now, I am helping young players become stronger competitors. If your kid needs a boost in their mental game, I am here to help.
