Testimonials / What Our Clients Say

There is a simplistic sort of confidence in the way Mitch works with his players. His ability to analyze and resolve your weaknesses as well as maximize your strengths brings out his natural knowledge of the game. After working with Mitch for nearly three years, there were drastic improvements not only in physical attributes but as well as the ever so important mental side of my game. And now that I have first hand experience of the highest level of collegiate D1 tennis, Mitch is a stand out as a top tier coach to get you where you want to go.

Hunter Nicholas, San Diego State
I have known Mitch since the 12′s and worked with him until I went off to college. He helped me improve and polish some of the most important aspects of my game, including my serve, return, and forehand. What I like best is that he combines his own previous experience with the knowledge he has gained by observing today’s best pros to provide what I feel is a great combination for success in today’s game. But apart from the technical aspects and his high tennis IQ, Mitch has been a great friend throughout the years. I think the player-coach relationship is crucial for success, and I have always felt comfortable discussing my strengths and weaknesses with him, and that comfort level has been important in improving my game.
