Testimony from Tennisplayer Member and USPTA Tennis Professional, John Carrizosa:

"I just watched the first 5 segments, and they are gold!!! I’ve been teaching for 30 years and I love to learn and check out a lot of info online. Just watching the beginning of your course, I’m like Wow! It’s clear, concise, and so easy to apply for students…I can’t wait to watch the rest."

"I was finally able to view the rest of your serve foundation program. As a coach, I’ve bought products from a few coaches online and picked up some different ideas and tips. I feel like if I had seen your program first, I would have been satisfied with that. You have an excellent progression and your phases and wording really bring out the points. I love learning and teaching and seeing my student get that "lightbulb moment". You’ve definitely helped me increase those moments with your course".
