What do you need? Call me or e-mail me and I will do everything I can to help you reach your tennis goals.
I am currently working with over 20 juniors - with an emphasis on preparing them for varisty high school tennis. I also work privately with many adults of all levels, both privately and with many of the local CCWTL teams. I'm a firm believer in setting goals and having improvement be the most important measure of a players' success, not wins and losses.
My coaching style is a combination of fun and laughter, perfect practice, and sound fundamental disciplines of every aspect of tennis. At "The Home Court" you have many advantages, including: Personal, one on one instruction with the Director of Tennis only, slow-motion video analysis, a private and quiet country setting that allows students to focus entirely on their improvement and not "who's watching me."
I have an extensive educational background in coaching theory, motor learning, advanced stroke mechanics and tactics, and sport psychology. Add to that, over 35 years of teaching and coaching and working on improving my abilities and methods constantly over that time.
Whatever you need, I can help. I look forward to hearing from you. Paulfiala@sbcglobal.net.
