Thomas Pate
Tennis Coach in Iowa City, Iowa
Hi! I'm Thomas. I have experience playing 5.0 semi-pro NTRP and L7-L4 USTA tournament levels. I've been coaching for 6 years with a deep passion for learning and sharing what I know with my students. In 2024 I founded a small academy in Iowa City. I've researched technique and tactics from coaches at IU-Indy, UNM, Omni Resort at Amelia Island, and former ATP World Tour professionals. I'm writing a book on tennis tactics, technique, and gear. Looking forward to working with you!
