Emmanuel Alejandro Briones Diaz profile
About Emmanuel

I am a dedicated tennis coach focused on the overall development of each player. My coaching approach includes a variety of drills tailored to enhance technique, strategy, and physical conditioning. I emphasize fundamentals while adapting training to each player’s needs, helping them improve their game through structured, engaging, and progressive practice sessions. My goal is to build well-rounded players with strong technical skills, tactical awareness, and a deep love for the sport.

What students say...

"I’d say the lesson with Emmanuel really hit the right note for me. The way he teaches makes complex movements quite clear, and that’s quite helpful. Though I still have some things to improve, I feel more confident in my groundstrokes now. If you're considering trying out a lesson, Emmanuel’s approach might be worth a shot.

Hence Singleton profile
About Hence

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.

Working with Hence has been absolutely amazing. From day one, his passion for tennis shone through, with an infectious enthusiasm that made each session a joy. My husband and I really enjoy his personalized approach, taking the time to understand each person’s strengths and weaknesses, tailoring his instructions to address areas of improvement. This is really difficult and time consuming considering how different my husband and I are in our skills and abilities. Beyond his tennis skills, Hence creates a supportive and encouraging environment to boost confidence and motivation.

Oh, yeah, so with this lesson, I think we really honed in on the basics of it all, which I found quite helpful. Though I’d probably stick with more of the same, I do wish there were a few more varied drills to mix things up. Still, I can see how focusing on the fundamentals is a solid foundation for future improvement. Hey, if you’re into strengthening your core skills, hence seems like a pretty steady option to give a try.

Hence is full of great advice, and is especially good at correcting bad habits. In our first lesson he helped me identify, and started to help me correct, the parts of my swing that was causing me to hit the ball too high. By the end of the hour, my stroke felt unpracticed and different, but waaaay more effective than before. Looking forward to locking in the gains in my future lessons!

Oh, that lesson really stood out for me. His communication skills and techniques used to fix my daughter's skills were excellent, and I think it made a difference. I’d love to see the same approach applied in the next lesson. I’m optimistic that continuing with Hence will help us refine her game and skills.

Hence has been a great coach for my tennis journey. His enthusiasm for tennis motivates you itself! He is very responsive and flexible. He pays attention your weaknesses and strengths and focus on consistency. My backhand was miserable, now it’s even better than forehand :) Thanks to Hence!
