Hermon Park Tennis CourtsTennis Venue in Los Angeles, CA

I managed the girls' varsity tennis team for two years in high school, preparing them for matches and major competitions alongside the head coach. As a player, I competed in intense district and state-level matches on the boys' varsity team. Additionally, I recruited new members for both teams over the summer and dedicated several hours each week to match play.

"The lesson was very helpful. We’re still working mostly on my backhand as that’s one of my biggest weaknesses.

I'm a tennis prodigy turned coach, with a knack for breaking records and building champions. As the youngest qualifier in Oklahoma State Championship history during my freshman year of high school, I've always had a passion for pushing boundaries on the court. Transitioning to college, I seamlessly balanced coaching and playing for the club tennis team, honing my skills both as a player and mentor. Now based in LA, I've embarked on rebuilding and reimagining my coaching career, finding innovative ways to connect with players and elevate their tennis prowess to new heights.

"I had an excellent lesson with Austin, who helped me regain my tennis skills after a year-long recovery. His intuitive approach stood out as he tailored the session perfectly to my current abilities. The one-hour class was packed with effective footwork exercises and drills, keeping me engaged the entire time. By the end of the session, I could feel my connection to the court coming back, which was incredibly rewarding. I’m truly grateful for his skillful instruction today and look forward to more lessons with him!

With 25 years of playing experience and 13 years of coaching, I have worked with over 500 students of all ages and skill levels through private lessons, group programs, and summer camps. I competed semi-professionally on the UK Junior Circuit and received elite training from Nick Bollettieri at The Harbour Club in Chelsea, London. I earned my first PTR certification at the age of 12 and have continued to advance through multiple licensing levels. As a player, I served as high school team captain and later competed as the top seed during my college career in the UK. My coaching style is down-to-earth, supportive, and adaptable, allowing me to work effectively with beginners through advanced players. I am deeply passionate about tennis and about helping others grow—whether that means taking your game to the next level or inspiring a lifelong love for the sport.

"Alex taught me “the perfect” backhand and forehand during our 1st lesson. Now I have to practice!
