Tennis Coach in Overland Park, Kansas
USPTA Certified coach with 12 years experience. I coach all ages and skill levels, from first time playing to the collegiate level. Everyone has their own unique play style, and I like to tailor my concepts to each individual. My style covers all areas of the game from the technical side of helping with swing development, as well as the physical side of having the proper movements and body mechanics. I am also a certified Personal Trainer and like to apply my knowledge to help improve ways to become a better athlete for players, as the modern game has become more physically demanding. I do have a patient approach to be able to help all players improve each day to achieve their goals, being to improve to play in a competitive league/tournament, making the team at your school, wanting to play at the college level, or just enjoy playing with your friends. I have always had a strong interest and great passion for being a tennis coach. I am dedicated to always learn about the game and improve my abilities to help maximize the potential in all of my players.

“Some people are good at sports but not necessarily good at teaching them. Brian really knows the game inside and out and is excellent on working on developing skills. I can tell my daughters skills are definitely improving. He doesn't let her slack off which she sometimes does and needs someone to continually motivater. Very appreciative of his teaching techniques. ”

“My son and I are both complete beginners, and Brian has been absolutely fantastic in making tennis fun and approachable for us. He’s patient, encouraging, and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. It’s been a wonderful experience.”

Intermediate student
“Really enjoyed his teaching techniques. He improved her swings within the first 30 minutes of the lesson. I liked that he makes her think about why she does certain things, so it's not just about hitting a tennis ball with a racket.”
