About me

I have coached at a small community club for most of my adult life. Early mornings, a basket of balls, a clipboard resting on the net post and a group of players who would like to hit the ball better than they did last week. I have learned that nobody improves everything at once, so I teach one quality at a time.

The drills I write are the ones I use on court. What I sell is the part that is useful to you: the drill sheets and workbooks for each quality, a journal for what you learn in matches, and two video courses for players who want to fix a serve or play better doubles.
