Every player has a distinct biomechanical footprint, movement pattern, and strategic mindset. My approach centers on diagnostic coaching: identifying the exact technical flaw or tactical habit holding you back, explaining the why behind the adjustment, and giving you concrete drills to permanently rebuild the stroke. What You Can Expect in Every Session: Tactical & Live-Ball Strategy: Learning how to read court geometry, construct points, and handle pressure during matchplay—not just hitting clean balls off a hopper. Tailored Progression: Personalized lesson plans built around your specific goals, whether that’s breaking into advanced club play, fixing a leaking backhand, or mastering spin patterns. High-Energy Environment: Focused, structured, and intense sessions designed to maximize every minute on court while building long-term confidence. Whether you're looking to overhaul your technique or fine-tune your matchplay strategy, my goal is simple: empower you to play smarter, hit cleaner, and reach your full potential on the court. ## Packages and prices - **Kids Lesson Package (9 and under)**: 6 prepaid 30-minute lessons for $870.00 ($84.00 per lesson).

I always leave each session feeling better, not just about my game, but also about myself. > From Quynh, 5 out of 5 > Takeshi gives clear and specific advice on how a player can improve. For example, he suggested that I can focus on predicting how the ball will land to improve my serve returns. I'm happy to say that this has helped! > From Sunny, 5 out of 5 > Improved steadily. Had him coach me twice. I improved my backhand and now I’m always hitting the sweet spot.
