Staff
John is a strong believer in teaching juniors about the game from the very beginning. Whereas it is important for the kids to have fun on the court while practicing, nothing is more fun than winning and continued improvement. Hence, John always emphasizes the need to learn the correct grips, swings and movement at an early age. His approach towards adults and recreational tennis is slightly different. As since it is decidedly more difficult to mold a mature person into learning a grip or stroke that has never been taught before. There are always avenues to take to improve a player’s game, even if it is just a subtle change!
