About Dave
I cater to a specific niche of people seeking tennis / pickleball instruction.
I ONLY TRAVEL TO MY CLIENTS who have access to a tennis court where they live...home, condo, apartment and HOA...OR they know someone who has access to a tennis court.
I also coach at the local Eugene YMCA but you must be a member.
My teaching experience spans over 30-years of all ages and ablities. Tahiti, Hawaii, US Virgin Islands, Lake Tahoe, Palm Desert and other locations are some of the places I have worked.
I am a USTA Pro Plus certified coach.
It was my summer job during college. I grew up next to the head tennis coach for the local college team and he ran adult / junior tennis camps during the summer months. He offered me a position and I accepted!
*Over 20-years teaching tennis to all levels and ages of players.
*USPTA Elite Level
*Attended numerous educational meetings and seminars over the years related to teaching / coaching tennis.

The first phase is to find out what the student wants to do with their tennis game. Then observe what they do now and finally begin to teach to their desired goals.
I call it the "LOT Theory"...Listen - Observe - Teach.
My goal is for every session to include Fun - Knowledge - Exercise.
My teaching experience has been at resorts and clubs so I have worked with all ages and abilities. Also have been a volunteer assistant coach for 10-years for a girls high school tennis team.
You want someone who can create a good experience. We have all had teachers who knew the subject matter thoroughly but were not good at presenting it to a classroom of students. If the experience is good the learning will be more positive.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The goal of the instructor should be more than simply deliver what the student wants but rather to help the student realize their potential beyond their stated goals. Many times over the years I have had students state a preferred goal for their tennis only to realize after a few lessons they wanted to achieve more than their original goal. My belief is it is the student's lesson and tennis game...not mine. So a key question for the student is can the coach take them where they want to go or even further and how will they do it?

Dave is an excellent instructor. He is patient and encouraging. He works with each individual to improve and refine their skills without any criticism. His love & knowledge of tennis is genuine and infectious.
Dave is a great instructor of tennis. He has worked with both my husband and myself developing our individual skills as well as our doubles game. He is patient, encouraging, and has excellent instructor insight to give you the pointers you need to always be improving at your skill level. Dave has very effective drills for what you want to work on and/or for what he says you should work on for your game. :-)
I would highly recommend Dave for both his tennis coaching and personal character!I would highly recommend, I started playing tennis for my school team with Coach Dave, he was extremely helpful from beginning to end! I came onto the court having no clue how tennis worked, but the year I worked with him helped me to develop the technique and understanding of the sport to eventually make it to the varsity level, something I never thought would be possible. Super grateful to have met him, great coach and even better person!
Coach Dave was able to work well with my pace as well as motivating me to become better & try new techniques that pushed me in the best way!
Coach Dave is overall an amazing coach. Not only is he very patient and kind, but also very good at explaining how to perfect your techniques. While assisting you to greatly improve, Coach also establishes an amazing connection with his students and makes tennis something to look forward to every practice.
Dave has been coaching me at tennis for several years and taught me pickle ball a few months ago. He loves both games, knows how to make them fun, and teaches you tools to improve your technique and game strategy. He fixed a problem I had for years with my forehand, and he had my wife and me playing pickle ball with other couples our first day out. He’s a talented professional and a great person.
I worked with coach Dave for more than 2 years. He's a great person and teacher, he doesn't get frustrated easily and will teach you the proper moves and techniques needed to succeed at tennis/picketball. I recommended taking lessons with him, he's the best coach I've ever had.
