    About your tennis coach

    I'm a former college tennis player with a passion for coaching. My journey has taken me from guiding high school boys and girls in Salt Lake City, Utah, to managing tennis programs at prestigious sports camps in Maine and New York, catering to boys aged 7-16. I've honed my skills teaching private, semi-private, and group lessons to both youth and adults in Palm Desert, California, as part of Peter Burwash International.

    Mark is a great instructor. Under his leadership, I learned a lot. He is great at making lessons engaging. One of the best things I learned was how quickly you can progress and regress in order to help the clients learn skills. People learn faster and stay with a program if they see positive outcomes. I also learned some motor skills related drills that help players learn tennis skills easily. Mark is a great tennis pro and I am grateful I got to work for him.

    Mark managed the junior tennis program at the camp I was a group leader at in Portland, Maine. He loves teaching tennis! He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and an excellent communicator. Later at camp, he became a camp leader. I highly recommend him!

    Coach M really elevated my game. I’m a high performance player. Mark is fun and makes the hard work I put into this game seem less stressful. My serve has improved dramatically! I definitely recognize Coach M!
