One of my early mentors in the World of Tennis Dan Kiernan, who is the Director at Soto Tennis Academy, has from day 1 inspired me to use Tennis as a vehicle to teach Young Aspiring Tennis Pro’s Valuable Life Lessons.

Dan & his entire team at Soto Tennis Academy is extremely good at providing an environment in which the players have the opportunity to develop a clear set of values as a person & as a player.

The most profound life lesson that I’m trying to assist players develop is the ability to treat people with dignity. Especially so in high pressure situations!

I truly believe that it is one of the most valuable life lessons that the Sport of Tennis can teach you as a result of your Tennis Journey. I care about the results of the players that I work with, but I by all means care a lot more about the persons that they are becoming as a result of their Tennis Journey.
