The confidence you give your players goes far beyond the technical aspects of tennis. You have a way of getting inside the cerebral side of the game and making me believe that anything is possible. I'm honestly playing the best tennis of my life right now. You are easy to understand, easy to relate to, and make every lesson feel personal. I never feel like I'm just another lesson on the schedule, I feel like you genuinely care about helping me become a better player.

Player Testimonials
What Players Are Saying
Real results from players training with Coach David in St. Louis.
David is great at giving real time feedback correcting my shots as I play. I can see the improvement in my skill even in just a few weeks from learning the proper techniques. David is very personable and an awesome teacher, I have lots of fun at my tennis lessons each week!
I appreciate David's love for the game and his overflowing passion and knowledge. As someone who was a beginner and getting professional help for the first time, I feel confident swinging the racquet and returning the ball in the court. David will not be afraid to correct your technique and shot selection, and I find that encouraging. I also appreciate the strategy aspects that are shared throughout the lessons, as it will help me understand and enjoy the game as a whole.
I started taking lessons with David as a complete beginner; fast forward a couple of years and I am playing real matches in tennis leagues and absolutely love the sport. David's passion for the game is infectious, and he approaches instruction in a methodical and accessible way that appeals to everyone, beginners and more seasoned players alike. My game has improved immensely through lessons with David, and most importantly he has helped me discover a love for the game. I would never have imagined a few years ago that I'd be able to play in a league, but with David's patient instruction I developed the confidence and skill to join leagues, seek out new tennis partners, and regularly play a new sport that I love!
