I embarked on my tennis journey when I became my wife's hitting partner, gradually immersing myself in the game and honing my skills. As my love for tennis grew, I ventured into competitive play, discovering a true passion for the sport. Inspired by my progress, I began sharing my knowledge with friends, helping them improve their game. This led me to catch the attention of two esteemed teachers: one from the renowned Strawberry Group in Tiburon and another from the YTA Youth Tennis in Oakland. Since then, I have cherished every moment of my involvement in tennis, teaching others and continuously expanding my own expertise, all fueled by an unwavering love for the game.
"Best coach ever!!!!
Originally from Israel, my love for tennis began at age 9, leading me to train at various top academies in my home country. By my late teens, I had achieved the 2nd spot in a national tournament and competed internationally, which deepened my passion for the sport. My journey took me to Spain for further training and then to the United States, where I played singles and doubles for a Division 1 tennis team for 4 years. Now, I find immense joy in coaching and watching my students grow both in their skills and their appreciation for the game.
"Adi is a world class tennis coach. I started working with him to rebuild several fundamentals that I learned the wrong way. He patiently worked with me and improved my game and technique remarkably. He uses video recordings to deeply analyze your technique and track your improvements, which is not something I experienced with other coaches. Several people I play with have commented on how much I improved since I started working with him. He spends the lesson focused on improving your game the whole time, and he can 10x your game if you’re willing to put in the work. Can’t recommend him enough.
