Briarcliff

Bio: I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.

Bio: For nearly three decades, I've had the privilege of competing at a professional level and guiding aspiring tennis players. My coaching blends technical mastery with a deep understanding of the mental game, and empowering students to excel on and off the court. Here is a quick background on my Tennis: As a junior player, I competed for a State, Southern, and National ranking in my age group. I played 2 years of College Tennis on a Full-Scholarship before completing my degree at Georgia Tech. Following my degree, I competed for 5 years in ITF/USTA Pro Circuit + Prize Money Events. I was the Head Coach for a Men's and Women's College Tennis Program at SCAD-Atlanta between 2016-2020. I have a wealth of experience that can take your Tennis to the next level!
