ABOUT ME

I was a South African Davis Cup player with a career high Doubles ATP ranking of 122 and 357 in singles. Currently residing in Delray Beach, Florida. During the Covid pandemic, I changed my focus from being a Professional Tennis player to a coaching. My ATP coaching career started with the talented Chris Eubanks, followed by Aleksander Vukic. I have traveled all over the world to 65 different countries to play tennis this has not only taught me a lot about the game, but also about diversity, perseverance and discipline.

I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with aspiring tennis players. I believe that every player is unique and deserves a personalized approach that aligns with their individual goals. By pushing you out of your comfort zone, we can unlock your ultimate potential. Together, we'll focus on all aspects of your game - technical, physical, tactical, and mental - while also addressing important off-court elements for tennis and values for daily life.
