Tennis Lessons In Portola Valley CA

"If I had to describe some of George's key traits as a tennis coach, I would choose compassion, motivation and a keen ability to listen to & read his students. After a 12 year absence from the game (I played competitively for many years), I wasn't sure how long it would take me to find my way back into my old form and game. 6 months into working with George, I have been consistently improving and finding my love for the game again. George's coaching style focuses on the whole person. The emotional & physical well being of his students is as pivotal to him as analyzing shots/hits, rallies and serves. Terrific coach to work with, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player!"
