"James is awesome! Super friendly. Laid back. And very helpful and knowledgeable. Will improve your game.

Growing up in Canada, I competed in tennis throughout my childhood and won the Canadian nationals at age 13! I consistently ranked within the top three in Canada throughout my junior years, which led to a full scholarship to play Division 1 NCAA tennis at the University of Virginia. I competed all four years alongside my identical twin sister – what an experience! After graduating, I realized my passion for tennis and fitness, and now I have over 15 years of experience coaching. I love connecting with, motivating, and helping both juniors and adults achieve their tennis goals. I'm also passing on my love for the game to my two daughters, ages 10 and 13, who are both nationally ranked! They've progressed through red, orange, and green ball and are currently competing in junior USTA tournaments here in Texas. We live in East Dallas, and I can't wait to help you with your tennis game!

In just over two years, my journey in pickleball has been nothing short of exhilarating. Starting out as a pickleball instructor at CNP, I quickly transitioned to private coaching, guiding players of all levels from complete beginners to advanced 4.5 and even a few 5.0 athletes. Competing in numerous tournaments, I've recently achieved success with a 5.5 DUPR rating and medaling in 5.0 events and advancing through teams in pro qualifiers, setting my sights on reaching the main draw soon. This sport continues to fuel my passion for competition and coaching alike, pushing me to new heights with each game.

I’m Julia, a 27-year-old tennis coach based in Southington, CT. Up until recently I had been coaching out of Dallas, Tx. I’ve been passionate about the game since I started playing club tennis at age six and continued competing through high school and college, where I played Division 2 tennis. My coaching approach emphasizes breaking down a player’s game to enhance fundamentals, strategy, and consistency, while also exploring the reasons behind our techniques. With experience coaching at country clubs and having learned from a variety of coaches myself, I’m excited to build relationships and share my insights with players of all ages.

I believe mindset is crucial to success, so my goal is to help players enhance their game and enjoy the learning process. I have a strong background in working with youth golfers, fostering a love for the sport and making it both fun and rewarding for young players.

"We booked a golf lesson with Sterling just for fun—not thinking much beyond giving our son a new experience—and it turned out to be one of the highlights of his week! Sterling was so positive, patient, and made the lesson feel more like play than pressure. He kept things light but still managed to sneak in real instruction without overwhelming him. Our son left the lesson laughing, feeling confident, and telling everyone he “actually knows how to golf now!” We loved seeing him smile and try something new with excitement. Sterling has a real gift with kids—he makes golf feel approachable and fun. We’ll definitely be back!
