TENNIS CAMPS
I attribute my tennis IQ to Dixie Macias who has been coaching players at Foothill College for the past four decades going back to the time when Brad Gilbert trained there. Dixie helped me in the summer of 2018 in developing an understanding of shot selection, shot trajectories and patterns.

Nick Saviano had come to watch one of his players compete against me in National L1 Clay Championships in 2022. He invited me to stop by his academy after the tournament where he gave me some pointers on improving my serves and forehand.

I spent a few weeks in the summer of 2023 training at Smith Stearns Academy with Billy Stearns who had coached Jessica Pegula during her junior years. Billy helped me with strategies for opening up the court and setting up the point.

ACADEMY
2015-2016 Jeff Arons Tennis
2016-2023 Gorin Tennis Academy, full-time
2023-present Evert Tennis Academy, full-time

My tennis development from the age of 10 was supervised by Vitaly Gorin who coached Dmitry Tursunov, ATP #20, and the Russian team that won Davis Cup in 2006. I took private lessons from Vitaly who introduced me to Jason Stacy, Aryna Sabalenka's personal trainer. I trained daily with Jason for about 3 years to improve my strength, agility and breathing.

I now train at Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton with coaches Leo, Francesco and Jacopo.
