Personal Bio
I was born in Manhattan & raised in the Bronx. I had a ruff child hood and I
was able to achieve success by learning and playing tennis at the age of
fourteen.
I started playing tennis with the City Parks Foundation youth tennis camps.
The camps are free and they provided rackets and tennis balls.
After about a year I learned about the New York Junior Tennis League after My
team and I took the Bronx Championships in Junior High.
I joined the NYJTL's Youth Recreational Programs which are free and I work
on my tennis seriously to try and make their Summer Tournament Team. I
made the Summer & Winter Team as an alternate and was sent to the Harlem
Junior Tennis Program. I was able to make The Harlem Junior Tennis
Programs Tournament Team and there I receive training from Tom Blake (
James Blake's Father), Dante Brown Current Director (Former Coach of James
& Thomas Blake), Karen Baulkawits (USTA's Olympics Trainer & currently A
trainer for the NY Knicks), Gus Alcayaga current Director of tennis for the
NYJTL (former world touring pro).
All these Great tennis instructors could not help me. My talent got in the way
of my development. When I burned out about 17 I had to start relearning how
to play tennis on my own. This was the best experience of learning I have ever
had because now that I wasn't playing well I was forced to listen to new ideas
and every info on tennis I can find. I developed a new Forehand & a new
Serve to compensate other weaknesses. As I was learning these new technique
that every pro in the world shares I started redefining my teaching methods to a
great success.
My pain is your gain. I can quickly show you how to hit a ball as hard as any
pro on the tour. Since I was a late bloomer I figured that I would still be able
to go on the Futures tour but then last years in 2004 I got injured. So now I can
play tournaments but after about a week hard hitting and play my arm is no
good and I have to rest.
