Joshua
Hello my name is Alex and I am a local Nashville tennis coach with over 7 years of playing experience! I am also a PTR Certified Tennis Professional. I began playing tennis in middle school with an athletic background. I quickly fell in love with the sport and began training 4 to 6 hours daily. I continued to compete collegiately while majoring in psychology. I have always enjoyed helping others and tennis is a blend of technical, tactical and mental. I use fact-based instruction and psychological strategies to improve my students playing ability and mental game. I have coached tennis for over 3 years including 8 months at Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas, Texas. During my time there, I coached numerous nationally ranked juniors along with early childhood students and adults of all ages and all different skill levels. I am offering fun private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons, group tennis lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot, approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be more than happy to help you out with your tennis game! I teach tennis lessons in the Nashville area and I’m willing to travel up to 10 miles to a tennis court that is conveniently located close to you.

"I appreciated the calm approach Dave uses during the lesson, which helps me focus without feeling rushed, and I think that slight focus on fundamentals shows.
