I’m Michelle, and I’m a Level 1 PTR certified tennis coach. Since I was 13, I was homeschooled to dedicate myself to tennis, competing in numerous junior tournaments and experiencing both victories and challenges along the way. I’ve been coaching since 2020 and have had the joy of teaching kids as young as 3 years old. I love coaching because it allows me to share the sport that has profoundly positively impacted my life and to make it fun and engaging for young players.

I played the game before I started coaching it, and that’s shaped how I train people now, fundamentals first, discipline always, but no two athletes get the same plan. Whether you’re working on confidence or chasing the next level, we’ll figure out what you actually need and build from there.
