Coaching: 25+ years Experience:

Approach: Varied experiences taught me that there is no one size fits all to coaching tennis. Finding out what motivates someone, how someone learns, and working around limitations or injuries are the things that challenge but also excite me. I recognizes that tennis has given me so much and I want my students to get a taste of what the sport can offer. It’s not just about hitting forehands and backhands. It’s also about stepping out of your comfort zones and competing, making new friends, being a part of the community, and getting more fit. I enjoy creating opportunities that will give my students the full experience tennis can offer. I grew up in a family where tennis was the central theme. My mother was a tennis pro and my coach while my father, a former professional soccer player, made sure that proper fitness levels were met. While it was a great way to grow up, my true passion for tennis came during my college years where I played Division 1 for the University on North Carolina at Wilmington. The first few seasons were difficult but after several tough losses I started to relax and find joy in playing. This led to improved results and a passion for playing. I continued to play after college in Challenger tournaments and in the German Leagues. Contact Jo - CLICK HERE |
