I started off a beginner and then I started taking lessons from Ben and now my whole game is changed! I’m playing singles 1 on my high school team and gunning for college play! Ben helped me utilize my strengths for match play and helped me get out of my head and general court strategy!

Tennis with Coach Benjamin Gose

Background checked

💰$38 weekly lessons

I’ve been playing tennis for over 5 years, dedicating myself fully to the sport both on and off the court. Along the way, I’ve absorbed knowledge from pros, trainers, Division I players, and even classic match film—studying every detail I could to elevate my game. I put everything I had into training, building a strong foundation in both singles and doubles, with a particular passion for doubles strategy and teamwork. What drives me most now is teaching. I love helping others grow their skills, understand the game at a deeper level, and find joy in the process of improvement. Whether it’s developing solid fundamentals or learning the finer details of match play, I strive to make each lesson engaging, encouraging, and effective.
