    Hi, I'm Derek

    As a former top 30 junior-ranked tennis player, my coaching style is technical, practical, and tailored to you. I focus on understanding why a shot isn’t working—not just telling you what to change. We’ll break down your technique, footwork, positioning, and decision-making so you leave each lesson knowing exactly what to work on and how to improve. Expect plenty of reps, clear, detailed, feedback, and coaching that meets you at your current level while pushing you toward the next one.
