You already have what it takes, you just need the right guide. Maybe no one ever taught you proper technique. Maybe you’ve been training hard, but without results. Or maybe you’re just starting out and feel unsure where to begin. That’s where I come in. With over 21 years of experience as a professional athlete, 11+ years of coaching, and the prestigious RSPA Elite Tennis Professional Certification, I bring world-class expertise to every lesson. As a 2x national champion and former member of an Olympic tennis team, I’ve lived every step of the tennis journey, from the first forehand to elite-level competition. I coach using a European training philosophy, focused on building a strong foundation through proper technique, movement, and mental discipline. You won’t just run drills, you’ll learn why you do them, how to do them better, and when to use them in real match play. Whether you’re a beginner building confidence, an intermediate refining skills, or an advanced player preparing for competition, I create personalized coaching strategies designed to help you reach your next level. As a certified coach with a proven track record, I’ve helped athletes turn potential into podiums. My students have successfully competed in both ITF and USTA tournaments.

"Coach Sam is truly one of a kind. From the very first lesson I could see the difference in the way my child connected not only with tennis but with themselves. Sam has a gift for making the game exciting, challenging, and deeply rewarding. What stands out is how Sam goes beyond technique, teaching confidence, resilience, and the mindset of a champion. My child leaves every session motivated and proud and I have never seen them this inspired before. If you want a coach who transforms players on and off the court, Coach Sam is the one.

"Tremendous instructor, he brought us to a secluded location to learn the basics. After my dad fell he got him ice for his shoulder. His assistant Matt facilitated the whole lesson for us

With a journey in tennis that began at age 10 and a current 4.0 UTR rating, my dedication to the sport has never waned. Now at 58, I'm playing the finest tennis of my life, having clinched my first tournament win at 35.

"Honestly, I found the lesson quite helpful, Julio paid attention to my specific needs and offered practical advice. The lesson highlight that stood out was his focus on improving my serve consistency, which I feel more confident about now. Though I still have room to improve, I’m optimistic about continuing with his guidance.
