"I played in high school and picked tennis back up in my 30s. I wasn't a beginner but I had a lot of bad habits. Dylan identified exactly what was holding me back in the first session. My contact point on the forehand and my footwork recovery — and we spent the following weeks systematically fixing both. He's incredibly precise in his feedback and doesn't just throw drills at you randomly. There's a clear plan and you can feel yourself improving week to week."

"Dylan coached my son for several months while we were living in Tokyo and the experience was exceptional. Coming from an elite Japanese training background himself, he understood the discipline and precision we valued, while also bringing a warmth and encouragement that kept my son motivated. His technical knowledge is serious, this is not a casual coach. My son is now competing at the prefectural level. We are deeply grateful."

"My daughter plays USTA tournaments and we were looking for someone who could take her to the next level technically without rebuilding her from scratch. Dylan assessed her in one session and identified two things previous coaches had missed entirely. He's clearly trained at a high level himself and that shows. He doesn't guess, he knows. In just a few months she's already winning matches she would have lost before.”

"I'll keep this short because I'm not a review-writing guy. Dylan is the best coach I've worked with in 15 years of playing. He gets what you're trying to do as a player and builds around it instead of trying to turn you into someone else. Even in the sessions we had together the tactical drilling genuinely changed how I think on the court. I'm a better competitor because of him, not just a better hitter."

"We signed our daughter up with Dylan not really knowing what to expect. She'd tried a group clinic before and hated it. Within three lessons she was asking to practice in the driveway. Dylan has this way of making everything feel like a game without the kids even realizing they're learning. He's patient but he doesn't baby them either. Worth every penny."
