As a former D1-D2 athlete with 9 years of experience and coaching other teammates, I am passionate about the game of tennis and helping players of all levels reach their full potential on the court. I combine proven techniques with personalized strategies to cultivate a love for the game and achieve lasting results. Starting out as number 2 singles & doubles in high school, playing d3 in college starting as number 13; I took upon myself to get better training day in and day out by myself researching the game as well as crafting my skill. Within my sophomore year of college I moved up to D2 becoming the men’s/women’s captain while playing number 2 doubles and singles. My Junior-senior year of college I continued to hone my skills, leveling up to number 1 singles & doubles plus captain for Frostburg State University playing D1-D2 division Universities.

"There was no lesson it was pretty disappointing, mainly because I felt pressured to accept options I wasn’t comfortable with and you clearly didn’t do enough to confirm with the coach beforehand what would he accept virgins and combine to ask me to come his way 1 hr from me that he can't come that way ( he is not doing me a favor and I clearly don't appreciate you sending someone who is now asking u to ask me to come an hour away when he and I have agreed he can't fit in Virginia that he earlier accepted the job for )Still, I think it would be good to be more proactive in checking details next time. George didn't hv any lessons with me as he doesn't work in Virginia but accepted the job I feel he is being manipulative and I wouldn't want to work with him

From an early age, I tuned into the enchanting sound of the guitar in music, setting the stage for a lifelong love affair with strings. In the 5th grade, I delved into the world of classical guitar, laying the groundwork for my musical journey. High school offered a two-year guitar course, complemented by private lessons that further shaped my skills. My musical inspiration came alive through rock legends like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and RHCP, influencing my playing style profoundly. Venturing into fingerstyle guitar on acoustic, I expanded my repertoire to include pop songs. Currently, I thrive as a band member and delve into solo projects, all while finding joy in teaching and collaborative musical experiences. Join me on this musical journey, where the love for guitar transcends genres, and the pleasure of playing is shared with others!

My name’s Connor, and I’m a 20-year-old pickleball enthusiast with a 5.0 rating sponsored by Neonic Pickleball. I dove into pickleball just two years ago, despite having no prior experience with racket sports. Before that, I played nearly every sport imaginable, primarily shining as a national-level hockey goalie. I take pride in my understanding of body mechanics, which helps me break down complex movements; for instance, I often liken the weight transfer in a serve to skipping a stone and a backhand flick to throwing a frisbee.

"Honestly, Connor's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my shot placement and footwork. The focus on specific techniques really made a difference, and I feel more confident approaching the net now. Still, I think a bit more emphasis on strategy would be great next time. I'd be interested in trying another lesson soon.
