Summary
Full-time undergraduate student-athlete at VWU, playing on the tennis team. Reliable tennis player, with extensive experience coaching juniors. Wide understanding of teaching many aspects of tennis, from the fundamentals, to specific drills and match-play. I've had very positive experiences from coaching, and I believe my friendliness and communicative skills have earned me respect, new friends, and connections wherever I have coached previously.
