Summary
As a prospective employee who has extensive knowledge of tennis instruction scenarios at every level, I hope to bring these skills and my experience to the Lawrence Academy Tennis Team. I have coached countless students to Varsity high school tennis success and many to NCAA college success in my 15+ year teaching career, as well as managing youth tennis club teams who competed in singles and doubles. I have gained a perspective, maturity and knowledge base over the course of my coaching and competing career in tennis, and I am excited to share those insights with a team over the course of a season.
