“Michael’s lessons are the perfect mix of easy-to-learn basics that I can apply immediately and more challenging techniques that take me time and practice to master. One thing is a constant: my game improves every time I take a lesson from Michael.” – Jens S.

“Michael Stearns is a wonderful coach. He has a very thoughtful approach to the individual needs. He’s helped me in a very short time to get from true beginner status to comfortably serve and return. His level of expertise stems from a lot of years of hard work. I feel this makes him respect folks equally, beginner to seasoned veterans. It’s a blessing to have him as a coach in our tennis community!” – Thomas K.

“It was great to work with coach Michael. He communicates well and understands how emotions affect my son’s performance. He introduced a holistic approach to help my son develop routines and techniques to improve mental toughness. With his coaching, my son feels more calm, confident, and supported during tournaments.” -Haydn Z.

“Michael is a great coach!!  Right away he saw a problem with my backhand and I was able to adopt his suggestions to dramatically improve my speed and direction. After 7 lessons, everything has improved.  My serve toss is under control and I’m starting to get the footwork patterns.  My game is more competitive now and I have a sense of tennis rhythm when I play that I was totally lacking before taking lessons with Michael. He also sent me some great videos of our lessons that are invaluable reminders of what I should do and also boost my confidence that I can do it.” -Brittany B.
