3 coaches & instructors for lessons in Rock Island, IL

Active player on the Augustana College men's tennis team. Playing since the age of 4, I've developed a deep understanding of the game and a passion for helping others improve.

I’ve been playing tennis for over 18 years and teaching for the past 7 years on and off. I played a season of college tennis and have experience working with a wide range of players, from beginners to high-level competitors. My coaching style focuses on building solid fundamentals, improving court awareness, and helping players develop confidence in their game. I also teach pickleball and feel comfortable coaching up to about the 5.5 level, though I haven’t played competitively yet. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, I aim to make each session focused, practical, and tailored to your goals.

I am dedicated to helping you improve your pickleball game and learn how to be a better pickleball player overall. My coaching emphasizes technique, strategy, and a positive learning environment, fostering both skill development and enjoyment on the court. I am an experienced player who has a passion and love for the game as I have played consistently the past 5 years along with a background in tennis. I aim to provide lessons that are fun (most importantly), competitive, and focused on progress.
