The Players Lab · Summer 2026

Good to have you here.

Whether you've been on the court with me before or this is our first time crossing paths, welcome.

I have a few quick questions to ask so we can figure out what this summer looks like for you. Takes about two minutes. Once I have your answers, I'll follow up personally.

What brings you here?

I'm looking for private coaching this summer.
I want to weigh in on what group sessions get built this summer.
None of these group sessions exist yet. The input you provide determines what gets built.
Both — private coaching and I want to weigh in on group sessions.
Just curious — want to stay in the loop.
Pick one to continue.

Let's start with your name.

I'll need your name to follow up.
I'll need a working email address.

Your phone number.

I'm making a shift toward text communication because it actually reaches you and won't end up in a spam folder, never to be heard from again.

I'll use your number for scheduling, updates, and the occasional link worth reading. You won't hear from me constantly. When I do reach out, I'll make sure it will always be worth your time.

Your number stays with me and only me. I will never sell it or use it for anything other than staying in touch. I value my privacy and I value yours.

What's your NTRP level?

Best guess is fine. If you're not sure, pick what feels closest.

2.0 Beginner
2.5 Beginner+

Group Sessions

Which of these interests you?

First Strike: The Physics of Serve and Return
Serve and return set the tone for every point. This session digs into the physics of both so you understand what your body is actually doing — and why it works when it works and breaks when it breaks.
Consistently Consistent Groundstrokes
Power and consistency that you can count on, not just on a good day. We work on the mechanical and psychological foundation that makes groundstrokes repeatable so you stop feeling like some days you left them at home.
Consistently Consistent Volleys
Most players arrive at the net with the same habits they have from the baseline. This session is about understanding why the volley demands something completely different from your body, and building the compact, organized contact that makes it reliable.
What Do I Do Here, Coach? Doubles Edition
90 minutes of live doubles play with a coach in your ear. Real-time feedback on decisions, positioning, and patterns as they unfold. After these sessions, you won't wonder why you won or lost the point. You'll know.
Building Points on Purpose: A Doubles Playbook
Most doubles players are improvising every point. This class ends that. You'll learn to play proactively — arriving at each point with a plan instead of a reaction. Through structured repetition of serve-plus-one patterns, return-plus-one patterns, approach sequences, and poaching triggers, you'll leave with a playbook you can use immediately and build on forever.
Sweat
High-movement, high-repetition on-court conditioning. Less instruction, more work. A great complement to any of the above.

Anything else on your mind?

How did you find this?

Just one — how'd you find this?

Know someone who should be here?

Send them this link. Whether they want private work or they're just curious about the group sessions — their interest tells me what's worth building.

That's everything.

Go back if anything needs a change. Otherwise, you're done.

Done.

Got It.

Your answers are on the way to me. I'll be in touch soon. We're going to do something different with your game this summer.

I'm looking forward to it.
