Hey, my name is Norman, and I’m from Houston Texas. I’ve played tennis my entire life, with most of my competition dating back to my high school days at the varsity level. Quit playing for a bit honestly, when I went to college. Then I graduated from Texas tech, moved to Vegas, and with all the beautiful scenery and desert landscape, how could I not pick up this long lost childhood hobby again? So I picked up my racket again and started hitting. Kept hitting and fell in love with the sport once again, and now recreationally compete in intramural leagues here in the Vegas area! However, I wanted to expand my expertise. Share my knowledge with those around me. Wether you’re an intermediate player and want to fine tune a couple things, a beginner, wanting to try a new hobby, or introducing the sport to your kids, I want to be that guy to make you fall in love with the sport that I play everyday. I specialize in heavy topspin aggressive baseline play but I try to mix in a junk ball/ all court playstyle, along with touch slices, placement, and angles to keep my opponents on their toes From turning my passion to profits, when YOU hire ME, as your personal tennis instructor, I strive to help you find your rhythm, develop your cadence, and most importantly, your poetry. Also, if you’re visiting Las Vegas and need a hitting partner to run down balls while you run away from the kids for a bit, I’m your guy. Let’s hit! I know plenty of scenic courts to play at.
