After decades of work in corporate risk analysis/management (See Resume) I have re-entered the tennis world. I am confident I can add significant value to your strokes and game. My commitment to key fundamentals and formated play will improve a player's singles and doubles game. I can hold clinics for teams, small group lessons and always individual lessons.
Although the bottom line is to have fun, with some good work, better play is more enjoyable.
