Spencer Willis
Tennis Coach in San Diego, California
I’ve played tennis all my life, always having access to courts and developing a deep appreciation for the sport's unique rhythm and strategy. I believe that each player should develop their own style because we’re all different. My dad, a math, tennis, and boxing instructor, taught me that these disciplines share a lot in common. Mastering tennis is about perfecting your shots, serves, slices, and footwork, but it ultimately comes down to the mental game. On the court, you learn the "equations" of actions and behaviors needed to outplay your opponent, turning each match into an artful challenge of skill and technique. For me, tennis is about the joy of the game, not just winning or losing. It's a sport that starts with love and ends with respect—whether through a handshake, a hug, or a simple nod if you're too sweaty. Most importantly, tennis is always a good time, and it’s a lifelong sport that can help you live healthier and longer!

“Spencer's lesson was not only helpful but also truly fun. I went in with no knowledge of tennis whatsoever, and now I can rally and serve comfortably. Ive enjoyed every single lesson and it’s something I look forward to during the week! He’s taught me so many good skills along with supporting me to achieve my goals. He genuinely cares about the student’s success and wellbeing. 20/10 recommend!! ”

He’s really good—I’m a beginner, and he explained the basics really well. He also taught new techniques that helped improve my backhand and serve. Very professional and easy to learn from!
